Been using AI as a reader. I can't deny, "I like it" A lot of upside. The one downside that bugs me is that AI "Can always FIND SOMETHING to improve. Never satisfied"

I wrote some good stories and I have another hundred I can tell. Will ya let Ethan Hawke, Chris Evans or Sean Penn know. We could really kick ass on a decade of films

I knew a girl named Cori that was a real good guitar player. She lived out her dream playing small coffee houses. What was strange is that she would put glue, model glue in her sound hole of the guitar. She was a "sniffer" Her sounds where bluesy but the room always at that glue smell.

Tommy had this two foot puppet sitting in the corner of his office for 25 years. It was a gift from his kids That puppet sees everything. It sits in front of the tv for years. Watching news Today the puppet spoke to Tommy. He said, "You fuckers are all gonna die unless you stop killing each other"

I used to go to a late lunch-early dinner with this actor couple a few times when pitching a story and finalizing a deal. They had some generational wealth, but what was odd is that before we left they would take shit off the table and pocket-it! Salt shakers, wine pourers anything not glued down

I would like to challenge the Supreme Court on this sovereign immunity thing. They got it so very wrong. They never considered what if the big dog wants to kill us for the betterment of the country. They owe the people a better explanation on what the heck they did.

Working on a Film that the Lead Female, is a teenager, secretly battling cancer. I was thinking - what this girl would do today in Minneapolis. Would she protest? She would bring hot beverages and eats and put them on a table and ask ICE to join her. She would convert each one with words.

I tore up my ankle a bit when I was 11 yrs old. I stepped on a broken Glass Milk jug in a pile of leaves. My Dad asked me, "How you feeling? " as he drove me to the Emergency Room. I told him, "It feels like the Sioux have tried to take off my foot" What wit for a kid.

Sometimes, when a scene will not let you move on... ...it’s because it has more to say. It disrupts you because maybe it has more to say in a different way. A real writer will listen to the story tell itself...and then draw the ink. Winter is friggin long

I come from a long line of pranksters. My aunt CeeCee has really bad eyesight, even with glasses. Every T-Day we give her a scratch ticket. Her son Bobby reads it for her and tells her she wins. All the cousins chip in to pay it, unbeknownst to Auntie. Every year she wins.

... well one year Bobbie says "you won a thousand dollars" All us cousin's eye raise and start thinking "we can't pay that much, Bobby what ya doing" Well that year she really did win. This is our first year since CeeCee is gone. I wonder what we'll do today.

Sometimes when I say, "I'm going to do xyz" she would respond, "Go for it" or "Give it ya best shot" Not, "No, it will void the warranty" or "Let someone else do it" The best gift you can give someone sometimes is "Belief"

Writing a memoir of sorts... Coming of age story... ...the kid crosses Turtle Bridge and grows when he gets to sit with her on the Trestle. Sometimes life seems it was better when you write it

When I went to the courts to take a kid in as a foster parent, his abusive Father had to be there and sign off. As we went to the car to leave his Father asked for my address to visit him. He was a big mean Dude....

....I had to get the courage up to tell the kid, "Get in the car" as I walked up to the shithead and said, "I care about this kid and you fucked up so no, you cannot have my address" I expected a shoulder to my gut or a fist to my face, but to my surprise he said, "OK and got in his care an left"

Heard the Coyotes last night. A half mile across the field up on this slight hilltop lies a century old campsite. Ironically it is build upon an outcropping of mammoth boulders. The toppled on top of each other boulders make caves between them. This is where the coyote pack lives. two worlds.

It took 4.5 billion years for Aliens to find Earth and breed intelligence into the Monkey. It only took 200k for us to get us to the brink of self extinction Alien Experiment : Failed

The one major flaw that makes me lean towards being a misanthrope is that we continuously kill and maim each other and convince ourselves it is just. An intelligent being is well past that ape-ish tendency.

Hey CONGRESS - I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because individual citizens give it a 'temporary license to exist'—in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself -Frank Zappa

I would like to sell a story - two are good. I would like to buy my 30ish Daughter a house with some good water and electricity. America would be amazed at the amount of folks who still heat with wood and have solar. livin free Tell all your Hollywood friends. I can be had rather cheap.

My Dad saved me from the angry Atlantic when I was 11 yrs old. I was a minute from being gone. This was the summer I lost a close friend who was run over by a rich man's cadillac. So I knew about mortality. Dad is in his 90's now. His birthday is in two weeks. He loved Teddy Ballgame.
