Bought the new Pynchon in hardcover today, at our local indie bookseller, fulfilling two promises to self. Read the first few pages while waiting for our lunch sandwiches to be toasted in a nearby patisserie, immediately getting that in-for-a-good-read feeling.

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

SCREENWRITING AXIOMS DURING PRODUCTION
This is work not a vacation
Be kind to the crew. They're working harder than you are
Great acting looks easy. It isn't!
Sleep when you can
Stay calm and positive. You can handle anything
No one knows the script better than you
Be open. You'll find magic!

SCREENWRITING AXOIMS FOR A LONG CAREER:
Underpromise, overdeliver.
Don't turn in a 1st draft, it should be at least the 5th.
Don't act emotionally to notes. Digest then respond.
The studio / producers are your partners not your enemy.
Your next job is determined by how you did on your last.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:
The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.
I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.
