It started out as just another writers group meeting until a lady with stringy, wild hair and feral eyes started ranting and raving about how much she hated the group. She went on to talk about a screenplay “some guy”had shared a few weeks earlier, describing it as being “from out in left field.” I guess she didn’t realize that same guy was sitting beside her. Thanks for the name.
Boy wizards, teenage vampires, and dragons are all fine; however, there is something else that has inspired great stories through the ages.
Amusing and frightening, tragic and awe-inspiring, mankind is the greatest subject any writer can pursue. There’s no need to go outside our own sphere of existence to find an interesting story. As the mysteries of the universe unfold, we only find increasing perplexity among ourselves. Whether it’s the mayor who made a terrible mistake or the bitter young man who is at odds with the world and himself, they are among the many voices that continue to haunt and inspire me.
