TVWriter™’s all-time favorite artist/philosopher, Grant Snider, has an interesting goal. Or maybe it’s a plan.
Inspired by DELIGHT by J.B. Priestley and THE BOOK OF DELIGHTS by Ross Gay, he is “starting a new series on things that bring me joy. I plan to draw these until I reach 365 panels, or until my delight runs out.”
To which we, Grant’s biggest fans, can only say:
You guys ever visit ReviewGeek.Com? It has some awesome reviews, and although most of the things they write about are techie stuff, once in a while you can run across this kind of writerly gem.
[A couple of months] ago, I wrote a guide for those who wanted to find the best value for a streaming service with live TV channels. A few days after it published, my selection for the best value upped its price by ten bucks, blowing my comparison apart like a cherry bomb in a Thanksgiving turkey.
THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.
In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here’s another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned.
Oh, and if y’all detect any irony, please believe me when I say it comes straight from the universe and not your kindly Uncle Larry B.
Good morning! Welcome to another new week at TVWriter™, starting with our latest look at the most popular blog posts and resource pages during the last week.
They are, in order:
In November 2016, my good friend Colin and I decided to write a horror short film together. Colin had just finished a stint as Carl in season 2 of Brains (a web series I created and also starred in) and as Kevin in Ace and Anxious (a short film I had written/directed).
He was a big fan of horror and I had been wanting to try my own hand at it, so it was decided: a short film in the horror genre with an idea of our production restrictions in mind as they developed the script. We knew we wanted to keep the cast small, the location singular, and the horror psychological, and within a month we’d written the first draft of what would become Buy In, the story of a charming young salesman and a strange, lonely traveler who find themselves locked in a struggle for control over their own destinies.
