Saying Thanks

I'm gonna take a break from writing about writing to thank a couple people who have helped me become a better writer. Without these people I'd be writing plot-less dialogue and stuck perpetually in sketch mode.

My wife: So... my grammar is still about as bad as an adult's grammar could be. My spelling is laughable and my typos are sometimes funnier than the comedy of my scenes. Yet, they would not be half as close to coherent without Emily. My writing is never complete until she actually deigns to edit it for me, but at least I know how to use a comma splice... sorta... kinda... not really. Sorry honey.

Larry: In college I took screen writing as a class and learned NOTHING. That is what happens when your professor is an Erotic Wrestler... Thanks SUNY New Paltz. THANKFULLY I had my playwrighting professor, Larry. Larry was able to not only get coherence out of my stories, but also able to get me writing with such furious speed and efficiency that I believe I completed a sizeable 8 plays in two years.

David: Larry introduced me to another professor, David. David was actually the first person to produce a play I wrote. Batman vs. Robin might not be high drama but... David taught me that things don't NEED to be high drama for them to be worthy. David also was an Improv teacher and has helped me use the Chekhov Method to create more believable and full characters.

To Everyone Who Has Helped Me... Thanks!
