The 1″ Picture Frame
Posted by virgowriter in Brad, How I Write on June 21, 2012
The 1” Picture frame How I write has evolved quite a bit, especially as I read more books and stories, and have completed an MFA program.

A Lesson In Screenwriting: Snow White and the Huntsman (A Review)
Posted by jarviswrites in Jennie, Reviews on June 17, 2012
By Jennie Jarvis Tonight, I finally got a chance to see a film that I’ve been excited about since I saw the first trailer.
