Living the RomCom is taking a brief hiatus, as Tater and I are
vacationing in France for a couple of weeks, where I intend to be
(blissfully) off-line. See you on the 20th, in the meantime enjoy this lengthy post below, and may
your summer days be funny and love-filled!

Billy Mernit: WRITING THE ROMANTIC COMEDY, 20TH ANNIVERSARY UPDATED & EXPANDED EDITION
CUT TO THE CHASE: Writing Feature Films with the Pros at UCLA Extension Writers' Program
I contributed two chapters to this useful book about how to write feature films, edited by Linda Venis, in collaboration with fellow UCLA Extension Writers' Program instructors: it's crammed with good info.CHERISHED: 21 Writers on Animals They Have Loved and Lost
Judith Lewis Mernit and I contributed essays to this book, along with Jane Smiley, Thomas McGuane, and Anne Lamott, among others. Editor Barbara Abercrombie put it together, it's available on Amazon for a mere 10 bucks and change, and all proceeds go to an animal rescue charity.
Enjoy!

Hope you have a great vaccation, Billy. Glad to hear you get to somewhere cool this summer. Planning on partisipating in the "Tour de France" by chance?

Since you're so close, I hope you get a chance to take in the Montreux Jazz Festival 4 July - the 19 July.

That sounds fantastic.
I'd rather be anywhere than NYC in the summer.
Eat some stinky cheese and get driz-unk!

Thanks, MA!
EC: No, but we saw a bit of it on French TV.
Jamy: Regrets! I forced myself to stay out of the web for half the trip, and thus got your comment too late to pursue a meet. Hope your France was/is a great one.
Thanks, Stephanie!
Damn, Hank: I KNEW there was something we wouldn't have time to do...!
Thenkew, Dave --
And J: We did just that!
