Subject: Screenwriting Expo 2005 Debrief
Security: Public

I really don't know where to start. I think Kelli did a wonderful job of hitting the high (and low) points of the weekend. See Screenwriting expo report.

Let me start with this: I felt like I got a taste of the screenwriting industry. From the what-to-do's and the what-not-to do's to the magnificent feeling of revelation and even the ups and downs of being a well-known, brilliant writer. I even got to be a starving artist for a night. It was like one very condensed preview of what is to come.

Besides the very educational seminars, one of the best things about the expo was the honor of getting to listen to screenwriters like Joss Whedon, William Goldman, Susannah Grant and John August. I am in agreement with Kelli that Joss Whedon puts his heart and soul into everything he does. He loves it and wants to share the love (and bitterness).

Anyway, most of the loopiness has been remedied by sleep and I'm pretty sure I know where I am (there's nobody I'd rather be directionally challenged with than you, Kelli). Go Mochi!

*very satisfied sigh*
