I had the pleasure of meeting Alexandra Sokoloff, award winning best selling author of dark suspense, last month when I attended the Heather Graham Writers for New Orleans conference. I’ll blog about my fantastic experiences there in the near future. But today, I’m starting a new blog series for Monday’s only – called Too Many Blogs Too Little Time. Since I wander around the Internet searching, researching, or just looking around, I find some really good sh*t, and so, I decided it’s time to share.
Some of you may be familiar with Ms. Sokoloff, but if you aren’t, take a moment to visit her blog. If you write fiction, novels or screenplays, she’s talking to you!
Her current blog is a lecture series you’d find in a master’s class on creative writing. She’s examining the well worn, frequently used as an example of structure and character arc film, The Wizard of Oz. If you believe you’ve heard it all, or that you don’t need to be reminded of how perfectly this film used the core elements of good storytelling – than I am not putting you on my next holiday list for fun facts (I know, quite a weak threat:). Anyway, please check her out!
Alexandra Sokoloff, screen writing tricks for authors. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Act I breakdown!
Herr Doktor At least you’re not addicted to Bones. As my beevlod pain in the a I mean, boyfriend pointed out, that show’s gimick is jumping the shark at least once per episode. Lately, I’ve been feeling the same way as you feel about Grey’s Anatomy. As with Todd, I’ve never been a Grey’s Anatomy fan, which probably makes me dumber than you. I’m certainly not gayer.
You look fantastic and congrats on feeling amazing! The next few weeks are going to fly by so embrace them tightly. One thing I did is took lots of pictures and started creating baby books through digital scrapebooking, because it does go so fast. I did not believe people until my son was born, and even though it feels like it was just yesterday he will be 2 in May. I agree with the others for those that want to voice their negative energy go elsewhere, because your negative, black hole attitude is not welcomed here. We are glad you post what you like, and we can choose to research the products further to see if we may like them, and hello she’s a celebrity so do you think the items are going to be found at the local five and dime shop, come on use your own common sense. I’m actually excited to see/use the pregnacy stretch mark creme to see if it will work better than the “body butter”, stretch mark oil, etc. I must say though “a mothers friend” body butter stretch mark creme is really good too.
