  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I working on one right now. Sort of. It's the story of nine different characters; their fragmented stories form a bigger one, but not obviously. Their storie are each different metaphors and allegories about the creative process, and how I compare it with addiction, and at the same time they make up my lifestory. The working title is "HOW TO WRITE A MOTION PICTURE". There's a murderous cheerleader in it and dead fetuses fall from the ceiling at one time. I stink. And I suck at writing about my life, and I was at time when I wouldn't come up with anything good...so I came up with this. It's very far from developed, and it's moving slow. I'll probably just drop it. Yes, I think I'll just forget it.

Whoops, someone slipped a bad word.

My autobiography should be published in the next year or two. I am like the boy in the bubble, so I have something of interest to talk about in my tell-all. It's been a long time coming, after hundreds of people suggested I write a book.

My advice is show, don't tell. Commentary autobiographies can be stale. Put your reader IN the action. Let them make their own conclusions. Write the conversations, events and emotions instead of describing them. Relive them!

beach blonde: you're not dead - go out and do something interesting enough that people want to read about it. Adopt kids, breed ferrets, dance the samba on a clothes line.

Or make it up. Write an autobiography of your character.

Just my advice - someone who never takes no as an answer :)
