So I'm just doing this general thank you here.........and hoping it will upload this time. But I do appreciate all your comments and would have liked to respond to each one.

And it paid off. Personally, I'm happy about that. I love your work. It inspires.GBPoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190573764848658894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-35783296479820071432017-01-13T08:59:37.447-08:002017-01-13T08:59:37.447-08:00I love that backlot picture too, and getting a loo...I love that backlot picture too, and getting a look at your trip to where you are. It brings home how our surroundings, big city, small town, etc shape the backdrop of our fiction.

I knew some of your b/g but I feel like I know a bit more about you now. I also did the Hollywood thing and worked at an old school literary agency where our clients ranged from Eva Marie Saint, Evan Hunter, Donald Westlake, and Billy Wilder (who I got to meet!), then script reader for various studios. I wrote a script but not until grad school did I realize I liked writing short stories when I took a creative writing course (not from T.C. Boyle though, I wish!). So kind of a similar path - although yours is much more colorful.

One thing, though: You talk about being the last person to have shot a film on any of those MGM backlots--but what was the film? I'm curious! Love the picture of you there.

Great backstory, Paul. In fact I've enjoyed reading all the 'how we got there' stories of my fellow minds these past two weeks. I feel I know you all that much better. Now onto the next two weeks, when we learn more about each other's writing.RJ Harlickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060655046361699727noreply@blogger.com
