Or I take a shower. But for the sake of saving water, the walk is usually the better choice. During the walk, I'll turn over the scene I'm stuck on until I craft a great dialogue or come up with the solution to what needs to happen.

Are you a Star Wars nerd? A Walter-and-Aurelia fan? Or a sidekick-Jackie groupie? This scene is for you! May the fourth be with you. Picture The Ewok Scene “This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done,” Aurelia said from her spot in the middle of the Read more of this blog post »
