Chicken.

Don't you think that's why writers write?  Because we're better on paper than
in person?  That's always been true for me.

Just to get a conversation going again, my week's been cynically
enlightening.  I found that the people in the writing group (except for one)
were mainly interested in putting in little effort for a lot of money from
the prospective sale of the script, but now that we're into the gritty
editing stage, three of them have found other things to occupy their time.  I
also found out from my agent that "Woman of the Wood" is going to be a very
hard sale because of the literary nature of the � story.  Only Spielberg has
the power to make this thing.  Most production companies are interested in
producing a product that costs little and makes a lot at the box office.

The work front has also been disappointing.  My boss will not work with me on
my schedule and has cut me back to part-time hours, so it's back to hitting
the paper and sending resume's.  The only real bright spot has been that my
sister-in-law (the one with the voice from hell) is in the hospital, so my
eardrums are getting a rest.

I cannot help but think of that Police song that talks about life being a
humiliating kick in the crotch.  Guess this means I'll have to buy a the
female equilivilent of a cup.
