Script Doctor Eric

Thus begins a new series on The Literary Brothel entitled "Why we have links to who we link to.."*

Script Doctor Eric is a friend of the site. He's a screenwriter, script reader, and screenplay consultant.

Recently, it seems he has been posting a lot more blog-like entries, and so his site feels a lot like a screenwriting blog. In fact, he even posted about that. (If you clicked the link, you know what I'm talking about...)

Check it out of you're interested in screenwriting, and if you pay him, he'll read your own stuff, too.

Ah, and I see that they also started a Screenwriting Podcast. Welcome to the 21st century, gentlemen.

So, if you're an aspiring screenwriter, I'm sure there are a lot of great sites out there, but in my less-than-well-researched opinion, www.ScriptDoctorEric.com is one of them.

How's that for an endorsement?

Eh, what did you expect from someone at a site called The Literary Brothel...

(Man, do we need a podcast.)

Man, it has been a while

I suppose it's a little late to start posting again...

But maybe that's what I'll do.

Now that the heat is off, and I really have NO idea who is reading the site, I just may start saying some things here that may or my not be read by folks out there.

In other words, stay tuned...

Bukowski on Mundane Conversation and Poets

When I hear some people talking I am confounded with how far way they are from anything. Most of them speak what they have been taught, not what they have learned. And what they lack most are two things: gamble and humor. Especially the poets. The poets are the worst. But hell, I suppose if I were mainly a painter I'd say that the painters are the worst.

-Charles Bukowski, 1986

Quote from Bukowski

If you're going to do something you might as well do it.

Secret Gay Clubs

Well...

Since you're here.

Have a look around!

We do some creative writing

And when we don't feel like writing

We analyze the keyword patterns

That bring people to the site

And write things

That look like poems

But are more like rants.

Seriously.

Bukowski Writes a Sample Rejection Slip

This is a rejection slip, and most of what we receive must be rejected otherwise our magazine would be ten miles long and nobody could afford to buy it even if we could afford to print it.

We too have been rejected and will be rejected again and again. In this business you must expect it. And when it happens you can either quit or write better or try another magazine.

It's true that sometimes a rejection is unwarranted. Our opinion is neither final or anything else. It's only our taste or lack of it. But we can only proceed as best as we think we might know how...
