Two seemingly unrelated bits of news which are more in sync than you think.
Brian Hodge asked me for one brief paragraph on writing and it’s impact on relationships. I wrote six long paragraphs instead. You can read it here (my comments are about halfway down but read the entire piece). Why did I write six admittedly raw and brutally honest paragraphs? Because I think it’s important advice that I wish someone had given me twenty years ago — the kind of thing you don’t find in the How-To Write books.
Which brings me to Dark Hollow, which is all about writing and relationships. Due to return in paperback and digital any day now from Deadite Press, and in development for a major motion picture. I’m happy to report that the film has been announced as part of Fantasia’s first ever film market. Bloody Disgusting offers the public the first details on the film here. And if you’ve been following the Dark Hollow Facebook page, then you’ve been seeing the eye-popping shots from Director Paul Campion’s UK location scouting this week (like the one above).
That was well worth reading. Thanks for posting that link here. I probably wouldn’t have read it otherwise.
I’ve actually been thinking of ways to ask you the relationship question for some time now. But while you you’ve “known of me” for years (first with the Ron Horsely nonsense and then Pacione) you don’t KNOW me. So I didn’t want to come off as one of “those types” who’s always clawing at you for personal/private information. I agree it is important advice and thanks so much for sharing.
Reposting it. Thank you for that. I don’t believe a lot of people really understand what it means to be in that creative zone, and without communication, they come to resent it. Or the writer won’t understand what the partner is going through.
Communication is essential in any relationship!
Great article. Thanks for pointing it out.
Great piece, Brian. Your honesty and frankness is refreshing.
They changed his last name; from Senft to Shay. While it’s obvious why I still like the unusual name best.
It won’t stop me from watching, that’s for sure.
I just hope they have a follow-up for it. Ghost Walk was just as good as Dark Hollow.
