As often as not, action moves a story forward in a film (You "hear" a play - you "see" a film). I'm finding fiction to be a combination of the both. I love character. I love creating voices. That's the playwright in me. I'm also now enjoying creating "visuals" on the page - description that wouldn't necessarily be in a stage play or a screenplay. In some ways a novelist is a playwright, director and set designer (with a sprinkling of poet) all rolled into one.(less)

Stuck on the Couch

“What are you doing,” asks the lovely wife.

It’s 7 in the morning and it’s obvious what I’m doing. I’m sitting on the living room couch, a cup of coffee on the table beside me. My tablet is open and on my lap.

“You’re not reading the newspaper, are you?”

“Uh, no, not really” I say. “Just, uhm… taking a quick glance at the headlines.”

“I thought you said you were giving that up.”

I have said that. Count
