This is a great list of resources for writers! We were just discussing Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts” in my Craft of Writing class the other day. Thanks for the info and guidance!

I was hesitant to watch this show at first because the pilot episode didn’t really appeal to me. However, after giving it a couple more episodes, I was hooked. I had not reflected on the use and importance of dance in this show. I did think to myself during the episode where Piper and Alex dance at Taystee’s good bye party how strange it seemed for them to be dancing and for things to seem “normal” in prison. Interesting article!

Interesting article. I hadn’t given much thought to Shamalyan’s work since The Sixth Sense as nothing of his since that film has really impressed me. It is difficult for a director to start out with a hit right out of the gate, just as it is for an author or musician, because the bar has been set and everything from that point on will always be compared to it. Any future work will never really stand on its own but always be compared to the previous big hit.
