If I ever feel like writing a "letter to the editor" I now know which paper to send it to. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Jamie: I'll check out your friend's Website. Look's like the Courtney family is full of amazing contacts and surprises. I wouldn't be surprised to find out you all are one of the first families of Hollywood. Anyhow, thanks for all you've done to promote my blog. I've had these blog explosion credits running all week and there have been hundreds of visitors, but I get the impression only 1 out of a hundred people really take the time to read anything. I think that's how Doug (see above) found his way here. It was nice of him to take the time to comment. When I BE-Surf I do take it seriously. I give the blog a chance to grab my attention, and I'll take the time to leave comments if I liked something. But I think most people surf superficially, just to generate traffic for their own blog.<BR/><BR/>Michael: Your story gave me a whole new perspective on the photo. And I've had this photo since last fall and didn't know what to do with it, until Courtney came along with her Three Wishes post.<BR/><BR/>Livewire: Maybe it was something she ate?<BR/><BR/>Courtney: Your creativity does inspire me. It seems like you just write your stories off the top of your head, but they work so well. You're doing something right. If you want feedback about your screenplay from a non-family member I would be proud and happy to read it and offer my impressions in return. I promise to be as critical as possible and not just say nice things. I test-read one of my boss's novels and wrote my feedback all through the manuscript. I wasn't as negative as other people, and when he got the critics from some professional authors he rewrote the entire work. He told me they all objected to the "cliched manner" in which he portrayed the American characters in the story. (I didn't see that!)Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1117860316004177012005-06-04T00:45:00.000-04:002005-06-04T00:45:00.000-04:00I see I've inspired you.

Haven't quite figured it out completely. But you can't rush a masterpiece. :)Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100291382659647440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1117847781156818552005-06-03T21:16:00.000-04:002005-06-03T21:16:00.000-04:00I find myself wondering why she has a giant ray of...I find myself wondering why she has a giant ray of sunshine coming out of her ass.

It is ...Courtney's screenplay is really wonderful. It is an original and is kind of like The Maltese Falcon meets Indiana Jones. That's the best I can do to describe it. Lots of tongue-in-cheek humor.<BR/><BR/>She and I are going to work on a project together sometime after we get back from Asia.<BR/>We have an author friend who writes historical fiction. I've invited him here to your site, but he hasn't visited yet. I hope he does soon. Well, we are going to write a screenplay based on one of his novels, The Dona. To date, I believe he has three published works and one in the oven. <BR/><BR/>Here's a link to his website:<BR/>http://majormitchell.net/page5.html<BR/><BR/>This will take you directly to The Front Porch which is where he writes tidbits and tips for authors. Feel free to email him and invite him to participate in your site. He is quite a friendly and wonderful man whom I've known for many years.Jamie Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036600186909466411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1117792138452458022005-06-03T05:48:00.000-04:002005-06-03T05:48:00.000-04:00You can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs....You can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs. <BR/><BR/>Courtney's story was truly fantastic. If her screenplay is anything like this, wow, it'll be a classic like "Bringing up Baby."Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1117789344473825422005-06-03T05:02:00.000-04:002005-06-03T05:02:00.000-04:00It's nearly 2 a.m. - the latest I've been up in aw...It's nearly 2 a.m. - the latest I've been up in awhile.<BR/><BR/>That poor genie. Maybe if they get some green paint they can splatter it all over the walls and make it look like it was a planned thing. Sounds ugly though.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad Courtney's story inspired you. It got you thinking.Jamie Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036600186909466411noreply@blogger.com
