ADORABLE.

I also think that the people laughing may have been what actually scared the baby, not his own sneeze. If that's the case, those people are evil for scaring a poor infant ellie the elephant. Regardless, I now want a baby elephant.

Making Winter Count

Last year was the first year winter actually almost killed me.

I was miserable.

I hadn't had a problem with it before. I embraced it. I dealt with it. Last year was almost the death of me. My mother actually said to me, after the winter had past, that she thought she was going to have to come up here and do something about my attitude.

I am not going to let that happen this year.

I was riding the train the other day and a scene for a script popped into my head. Usually when I write a script I see the scene visually in my head: The setting, the weather, the props, the people. I see them doing an action. Then I figure out why their doing it and write the scene down. It's also very important for me to feel what the temperature of the room or place is and what the room or place might smell like. Yeah, I'm a little nutzo.

Another important thing is music. I usually make a playlist. I don't necessarily write while listening to the music. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, it's more just to have. I secretly want to be a music supervisor. Make millions acting and writing and then retire to be a music supervisor for film. So grand.
