Topic: Dan’s book #2 in the works
I watched Reality Bites last night. It was just the movie I was looking for. The story of idealism clashing with a world that spins idealism until you can barely keep a job serving up cue cards or french fries, and you end up paying $3.99/hr. to a psychic because nothing else seems to make any sense to you.
It was an entertaining movie, and made me want to entertain. To write in order to make people laugh and smile, at topics that equally drive people to throw things through windows, and cry, and pop happy pills.
I love that life IS the story of whoever tells it. I hope to tell life in a way that inspires and makes people reflect. That questions and attempts to answer. That tackles a topic and then for apparently no reason at all goes on about jello pudding.

Writing rules. And it seems that you don’t totally suck at it. Now, making a living at it might be a different story, but I’m fairly certain most noteworthy authors saw many lean years.
I’ve never seen Reality Bites. Winona Ryder creeps me out.
