What a lovely, lovely film. I had the vaguest of memories of this one. We had a VHS copy when I was young, but it was never one of the Disney movies I was very interested in, because it looked too girly. This apparently affected it at the box office as well, to the point […]

He sets out to reclaim […]
This was one of my childhood favorites, and watching it as an adult it’s easy to see why. Few of Disney’s efforts matched this one in terms of creating a feel of epic adventure and grand scale. This is the first film Disney filmed in Panavision, and the wide-screen presentation is the perfect choice to […]

If you finish your manuscript (it’s a book after it’s […]

And hey, with just a few frustrated pinky jabs into your delete key, that wish is easily self-granted if it’s just you and your word processor. If you’ve written something terrible and posted to social media, I […]
by ARHuelsenbeck I am blessed to have my own writing room. It’s my daughters’ former bedroom, outfitted with a desk, a dresser, two overfilled bookcases, two stuffed file cabinets, 3 stacks of TBR books, and 12 banker’s boxes of miscellany I need to find places for. I can generally be found there […]
