Gone fishin’

FishSince I haven’t posted for more than a week, several readers have written in to make sure I hadn’t gotten trapped in an air vent, or shanked by a pencil-wielding grammar prescriptivist.

I assure you I’m fine. Great, actually. I’m just busy as hell on a new project that will keep me away from the keyboard for pretty much the entire month of June.

How busy am I?

  • I had no idea who won American Idol until I randomly overheard it.
  • The season finales of Lost, Alias and Desperate Housewives are sitting on my TiVo. La-la-la-la (fingers in ears), I don’t want to know.
  • I look at people reading newspapers and think, wistfully, “I remember when I used to read newspapers.”

To provide the illusion of new content here on the site, I’ll be pulling up some older articles from the archives. But make no mistake, I’m gone. My assistant Chad will be managing the moderation queue, however, so feel free to chime in.

Meanwhile, Josh Friedman has promised to start blogging more to make up for my absence. (Okay, maybe he didn’t actually say it. But I felt it.)

Peace out. See you in July.

About

This site is run by screenwriter John August. Mostly, he answers reader-submitted questions about the craft, but occasionally he goes on tangents that run far afield of writing and filmmaking. You'll also find info on past, present and future projects.


For photos, blurbs and uncomfortable self-promotion, you can check out his Facebook fan page.
