Movies these days have commercial tie-ins, so I am working on the script for THE HOUND OF THE BASKIN-ROBBINS, a new Sherlock Holmes story.
The Fast and the Frumious
I am working on the action adventure script adaptation of Jabberwocky, under the title The Fast and the Frumious.
I am picturing Benedict Cumberbatch cast as the frumious bandersnatch.

Say a Holy Yes
A writer must say yes to life, to all of life: the water glasses, the Kemp’s half-and-half, the ketchup on the counter. It is not a writer’s task to say, ‘It is dumb to live in a small town or to eat in a café when you can eat macrobiotic at home.’ Our task is to say a holy yes to the real things of our life as they exist – the real truth of who we are.

I am now working on a writer’s version of Pinocchio, where a writer with wooden prose hopes to become a real writer someday.
