Screenwriter Pen Densham writes about writing, the business, and how to get through in his new book “Riding the Alligator, Strategies for a Career in Screenwriting (and Not Getting Eaten)”. Like Kung Fu Panda, the answer is, “there is no secret ingredient.” Densham includes essays by various screenwriters. TW puts this in the “probably worth the read” pile. [Via Larchmont Chronicle.]

  1. I’m trying to promote my script.

    Logline:
    A politically connected businessman falsely accused of murdering a Washington lobbyist – struggles to clear his name and in doing so uncovers the true identity of Jack the Ripper.

    Go to Amazon Studios and search “Into The Night”, by C. V. Hubbard (me) and download a copy. Read it. Enjoy it. Review it. Thx!

  3. I purchased this ring toss game to use as an actitivy at my son’s sixth birthday party. He had chosen a Peter Pan theme, and the crocodile that chases Hook is one of his favorite characters, so I figured this item would fit with the theme. I had this crocodile blown up for a total of six weeks, and it held air the whole time without needing any extra. Therefore, I’m giving it a high rating for durability, even though I’m sure it could pop easily if it’s not treated well.I like that you can aim your rings for either the tail or the snout with this game. However, it is actually harder than it looks. It takes a bit of practice to get the hand/eye coordination just right. But no matter, I still had fun trying. The kids at my son’s party were mostly between the ages of three and six, and I was suprised that only a few of them wanted to try this game. The adults actually played with it more than the kids did. So perhaps it is best for kids/adults ages five and up. Regardless, if it goes with your party theme, I think it’s a nice additional actitivy to have, so long as you use it as a supplemental actitivy rather than a main attraction.

  4. I do not even know the way I finished up here, however I assumed this put up was great.
    I do not recognize who you are but definitely you are going to a well-known blogger when you are
    not already. Cheers!

  5. I simply had to say thanks yet again. I do not know the things I would have made to happen in the absence of those ways contributed by you relating to such a theme. It previously was a real terrifying circumstance in my circumstances, but noticing your specialized fashion you processed the issue forced me to jump with gladness. I’m happy for your information and then believe you comprehend what a powerful job that you’re getting into educating some other people through the use of a web site. I know that you have never come across any of us.

  6. The things i have observed in terms of computer memory is the fact that there are specs such as SDRAM, DDR and many others, that must fit the features of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is reasonably current and there are no computer OS issues, changing the ram literally takes under a couple of hours. It’s one of many easiest personal computer upgrade methods one can think about. Thanks for spreading your ideas.
