I watched the Rob Reiner trifecta: Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally. What struck me about them was that Reiner didn't have a unifying visual style like Wes Anderson. These movies were unified thematically. In all three, humor and love binds his protagonists. 1/2

Watched Life of Chuck and enjoyed it, although it's a tad didactic. Certain scenes from Chuck's memories are life-affirming, but I can't stop thinking about exes Marty and Felicia under the stars, wondering what might be even if it's the end of the universe, a beautiful moment between ... 1/2

We watched The Princess Bride last night and forgot what's going on in the U.S. for a bit and felt that love could truly save the world—maybe, hopefully —and cried when Grandpa told his grandson 'as you wish' when he asked to be read the story again the next day. Hopefully love will save us. ❤️

As a writer, I've grown to accept that no matter how hard I work on a manuscript & revise it many times that inevitably I'll think it's a piece of shit. Even though I've won several book awards & sold thousands of books, my writer brain always comes back to this new book is shit. 🤷♂️

Comic book mail: The Amazing Spider-Man #140. Jan 1975. Writer: Gerry Conway. Penciler: Ross Andru. "...And One Will Fall" The Jackal attaches a bracelet to Spider-Man to discover his true identity and Spidey battles the Grizzly at a local gym. A much better read than issue #138 for sure!

It's been difficult for me to finish up a novel I've been working on with all the horrible things happening in the US right now. I've been trying to stay away from the news, but it finds its way to me in my social feeds. As a writer, I want to resist through my art, but man, it's been very hard. 😩
