A little here, a little there, pretty soon it's a body of work.
happy anniversary

Another year older and another year stronger, MAZEL TOV!
Time flys buy doesn't it. Love re-reading all you're posts on common righting errs.
Good review, seriously.
Thanks, Everyone! Much appreciated.
And instead of changing it, I'll point out with a laugh that in copying over the titles for the posts, I misspelled the word "spelling!" I wrote, "Overly Common Screenplay Speling Error."
Maybe you where thinging of Tory Speling.
Happy 1 year. I think I found your site, Warren’s, and David’s at about the same time when I started searching for screenwriting blogs. You guys are kind of my 3 Wise Men or 3 Amigos. Or possibly even Larry, Moe, and Curly. . . but, nonetheless, you guys are definitely my “go to” blogs.
Thanks for all the great posts, man! Chris is right. Looks like a body of work to me. Time to find a publisher.

Thanks for the re-cap, Joel!
I've been reading your blog for a litle while now, you've got some great advice on here. I esp. like the blog "How Important is Originality?" & the recent discussion of business vs art.
'Grats on the anniversary :-)
