New reading material thanks to the folks at @AbandonJournal. In my story, "The Nightmare of the Waking World", a man recounts an unusual love story - but did it really occur? Read it in full online! abandonjournal.com/joel-fishbane/…

@AmericanGwyn Great thread. Have you read "Martin Eden" by Jack London, his semi-autobiographical novel about his efforts to be a writer by selling stories? It will be eerily familiar. Nothing has changed in 100 years.

ON SUBMITTING SHORT STORIES TO LITERARY MAGAZINES: I first started sending stories to Lit Mags in 1998. I had no business submitting then: my work was far from ready. I was a 26-year-old MA student at OSU. I didn’t even know how to write a cover letter.

Stephen Sondheim’s long-in-the-works final musical, “Here We Are,” will be staged in New York this fall. The musical is inspired by two Luis Buñuel films, and Sondheim described it as unfinished just days before his death in 2021. nyti.ms/3yJujli

Always good to see great Canadian writers getting some love. #Oscars95

Thanks to @QuLitMag for publishing my story "the deadlands". Justine returns home after her mother's accidental death - but was the death the accident that it seems? You can read a preview online. There's some acting theory to delight my acting friends. qulitmag.com/the-deadlands/

Everyone will talk about Beauty and the Beast but, for me, #angelalansbury will eternally be the definitive Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd. A true icon. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gqapHR…

Happy Birthday #stephensondheim Blow out the candles and make a wish.

An interview with Stephen Sondheim, conducted over the last five years of his life, about his philosophy of art, the relationship between book writer and lyricist, and the subtle compositional flourishes in his songs that “nobody has ever noticed.” nyer.cm/hKccr5H

A short play of mine now available thanks to the fine folk at @anotherchimag

Excited to see my short story "Perfect" is off to the printers in the latest issue of @PeauxReview

@shannonandswift This is standard in an industry that tends to lionize the director and actors and often discounts the writer (unless said writer is the director). When a movie works, everyone forgets the writer. But they often get blamed if the movie fails.

Watched Harry Potter 20th and I’m stunned & dismayed they didn’t even *mention* screenwriter Steve Kloves. Do they think just anyone could deftly adapt a 900 pg book into a beloved film? He wrote all save one and was as essential to success as the directors who were all profiled!
