Reading midterms today. Usually an enjoyable experience because this is the time most of the students start "getting it" ... typically quite a few good short scripts in the mix. We'll see.
This should pretty much take all day.
"The struggle itself ... is enough to fill a man's heart." --Camus

The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
"Having written almost daily for over 40 years, I can say that writing is not a job or a vocation or a profession--it is an existence. It is a way of being in the world."
