Was he thinking of writers?

~~~~~Stratford Portrait discovered 1881

~There is a tide in the affairs of men.
~Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
~Omitted, all the voyage of their life
~Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
~On such a full sea are we now afloat,
~And we must take the current when it serves,
~Or lose our ventures.
~~~~~~~~~~--William Shakespeare
~~~~~~~~~~~ Circa 1601

CHARACTER & DIALOGUE, - NIGHT OR DAY

..How many times have you heard that
oooo..to write screenplays, you need
oooo..to have "an ear for" dialogue?
oooo..Probably more than you care to
oooo..remember. But as a writer, you
oooo..likely already know that charac-
oooo..ter and dialogue are inseparable.
oooo..That's why they're grouped here
oooo..in one place. I hope you can find
oooo..something here that suits you.

"There's no doubt about it, show business lures the people who didn't get enough love, attention, or approval early in life and have grown up to become bottomless, gaping vessels of terrifying, abject need. Please laugh."

--Dennis Miller
