Writing Process

thatched cottage
Every thousand words, I take a break and watch something. Today, I’m watching You’ve Got Mail. (The first time I saw it was in the theater where Meg Ryan and Greg Kinnear go to the movies in the film.) I did not remember how sad this movie is! Even the happy ending is sad! I need to go back to watching Escape to the Country—despite the possibility that my books might all wind up being set in character cottages with thatched roofs, wood burners, and heroes that bear a striking resemblance to Alistair Appleton (not a bad thing, mind you).

Kate Winslet on A Little Chaos

I think we have different ideas of what outrageous is, but this was a fun interview with Kate Winslet, whom I love.

‘I always do sex scenes properly’ Kate Winslett’s most outrageous interview

KATE WINSLETT lets loose as she talks about using mud to disguise her ever-increasing boobs in her latest film A Little Chaos directed by Alan Rickman.

Joe Dante on Portrait of Jennie

This is one of my favorite films for reasons cited. It is strangely magical—as is Joseph Cotten.  😉
