A Tale of Two Moons

Last night, I took some photos of an Almost Blue Full Moon against a pink-purple-blue sunset sky.

Almost Blue Full Moon, July 30, 2015

The striking colours of the clouds and the moon against the sunset sky reminded me of another photo which I took a while ago, also from my terrace.

I found the photo and then noticed the date I took it.

Gibbous Moon, July 30, 2012

Is this the kind of coincidence that happens only once in a Blue Moon?

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Echo's Query Process

Echo's Query Process

"Please, sir, may I have some?"

"Resistance is futile."

Flossie (an original poem)

FLOSSIE


Flossie is my dentist and
her words ring in my head.
"This tooth of yours is necrotized
(in other words, it's dead.)

I'd really like to pull it 'cause
it's hanging by a thread.
Don't scream too loud, and don't bite me,"
is what my dentist said.

Screenwriting 102

A primer for students who passed Screenwriting 101

and are ready for additional basic information.


1.  Have a plot.

2. Special effects are awesome but they are not an acceptable way to distract the audience from the lack of a plot.

3. Two is the perfect number for dimensions in a movie.

4. Fast expository dialogue won't save your script if there are gaping plot holes.

5. Have a plot.





Love,
