When you’re writing something that’s MAJOR (whether it’s a book or a screenplay), there’s always that weird moment when you first start to share it with the world. I remember with my first produced feature film script, when during a meeting a producer told me how much she loved Fran...

Well, almost. I am –– I admit –– compulsively opening up iTunes, searching for “Vilga,” and checking the ratings and reviews of my novel DOWNWARD DOG (coming out June 11th). And I swear literally every time I am about to burst into “Living On A Prayer” by the genius Bon Jovi because...

I remember when we were shooting the 1st indie film I wrote and directed, Tony Winner John Glover said to me at one point (with agreement and irony), “My mother taught me that two things are important in life:  Winning Prizes and Being Popular.” More and more, I realize Mrs. Glover was probably...

Reeling from all the techno marketing today. Vimeo and Youtube pages revised. Worked on the slider for this website for 3 hours via Skype w/an AWESOME guy in India. Claimed my author page on GOOD READS (and now there’s a lot more to do). Installed the code that’s in the STORE on this site –– an...

Very happy with the reactions to my email BLAST this morning –– lots of sweet responses plus some groovy free consults which are always inspiring and fascinating.  And a super-delightful birthday brunch with beautiful/wonderful Cristy and her great mom and Zoe, too.  (Details tomorrow, since we’re al...
