I love Charlie Kaufman's screenplays. Imagine my delight when I found a PDF of his new script Synechdoche, New York online last night. I only read about 15 pages of it -- it's 159 pages long -- but it was already great, and I planned on posting a link to it this morning. But this morning, the script has been taken down. Why didn't I just save it when I had the chance? Now I have to wait and see the movie, which is of course better, but I have no self-control. This isn't exactly a state secret.
Speaking of self-control, I've decided to stop posting pages of "my new novel" for a while. Not because it's not going well but the opposite. It actually is turning into my next novel. It's a complete departure from anything I've ever done and I think I'm going to have to work on it in private for a while, maybe even until it's finished. I promise you I'm only doing this because I actually want to take it seriously and make it the best it can possibly be.
Meanwhile, I do plan to post some fiction on this blog soon, if anybody thinks they might read it.
I've been listening to Warren Zevon's My Ride's Here and reading Stephen Sachs' The End of Poverty and William Easterly's The White Man's Burden. Jack is still feverish on and off, but I think he's getting better...at least I hope so. It's been four days now.
I hope you're all well.

Afternoon Joe,
Write that piece (it's looking nice) and do it justice. I look forward to reading it!
I hear you on the quest to gather and capture opportunities online while they last. I'm writing a longish short story about the Golden Gate Bridge, and in the space of three hours, a resource was placed onto the "pay" feature only. The net certainly gives, and it does take away. I suppose both are comforting propositions...
Best,
Dan
