Morning coffee, uploading video files to the review. Student query letters to review this morning. In class, I show the documentary DREAMS ON SPEC, which is a realistic portrayal of three screenwriters trying to make it in L.A. Reality 101 stuff, which I emphasize always.
Scattered thuderstorms, if can call them that -- you very seldom see an east coast kind of thunderstorm in the Pacific NW -- and more through the day, according to forecast.
"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."
