Why We Write – Number 53: Curtis Kheel | Why We Write

https://whywewriteseries.wordpress.com/2008/04/20/why-we-write-number-53-curtis-kheel

April 20, 2008. Why We Write – Number 53: Curtis Kheel. 8212; Charlie Craig @ 11:34 am. Today’s piece is written by Curtis Kheel, Writer/Producer on “EUREKA,” and former Writer/Producer on “CHARMED.”. I’m not like other writers. I don’t gotta write. Yeah, you know who you are. You’re the ones who have a writing day job, but also always have a screenplay, pilot, play, novel, short story, journal, or epic grocery list going on the side that you just can’t stop writing on your own. I know all about you.

Chefdruck Writes: August 2008

http://chefdruckwrites.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 8, 2008. Gary and I were sitting in his sister's car, AC blasting to ward off the DC September heat, sharing a Dean and Delucca prociutto sandwich when he turned to me with a conspirational smile. I smiled back, already excited to join him on whatever off the wall adventure he was about to suggest. Dude, I have the best idea! Well, you know how neither one of us has a girlfriend or a boyfriend right now? Don't remind me - I'm trying hard to forget it.". Are you for real! What do I think?

Monday, May 11, 2009. Beginning Today, Writing Prompts. I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't posted to Chefdruck Writes since February. The weeks go by too quickly and although I'm writing all the time, on my blog, in my notebook, and to the myriad of other sites I contribute to, I've neglected this blog. Starting today, I'm going to post some writing prompts here. Prompts I'm using in my notebook. Prompts that have gotten my juices flowing. I hope they will get yours going too. In honor of mother's day:.

http://chefdruckwrites.blogspot.com/2009/02/kelly-corrigan-great-writer.html

Friday, February 20, 2009. Kelly Corrigan, Great Writer, Inspirational Speaker. Tonight I attended an incredibly inspirational event with Kelly Corrigan. Author of the Middle Place. I read and reviewed the Middle Place a year ago, before it was so popular, before it was on the NY Times non-fiction bestseller list. I loved the Middle Place. Although the topic sounds grim, a memoir where both the author and her father are battling cancer, the book is actually full of hope and life. I was amazed that someon...

Friday, May 23, 2008. This Week’s Theme:. Conspinkey. Don't look that word up, because it doesn't exist. But you're going to use it in your entry. I walked into the Iron Arms and was momentarily blinded as my eyes adjusted to the gloomy smoky bar. I scanned the room as nonchalantly as I could. Then I saw him. I almost missed him; he blended in so well with the other guys at the bar, but the beat-up stetson on his lap set him apart. He nodded and replied, "Can I buy you a hot toddy to warm you up? I neede...
