Most of our lives are basically mundane and dull, and it’s up to the writer to find ways to make them interesting." - John Updike   CLASSIC QUOTES "If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it." - Elmore Leonard "The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine." - Robert Bresson Script o' the Month With LOGAN, Michael Green and Scott Frank & James Mangold exploded the expectations (and limitations) of what a superhero movie could be.

LOGAN screenplay (PDF link) The Random Tip Every month we list an unorthodox tip relating to writing and creativity in general. Ideas begin as avant-garde and filter into the mainstream.
