Writing Quote #67 (John Updike)Posted by: screenwritingfromiowa in Screenwriting From Iowa“To the young writers, I would merely say try to develop actual work habits, and even though you have a busy life, try to reserve an hour — or more — a day to write.

Those two words from my wife forming one question sum up pretty well the Super Bowl game last night. My wife stopped watching when the underdog Atlanta Falcons had a 28-3 lead.
