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."

Huzzah!
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Prof. Deemer, I've followed this whole thing. Gotta say: One, I'm happy it turned out this way. Two, it's been amazing to see a reasoned, humble tactic applied to the scariest shit in life.
Carry on, Merry Christmas.
Humble tactics are easier when you play the game with a huge pile of chips in front of you from a past winning streak.
Well ducked, comrade.
That's good news, Charlie Bob.
Brood on.
