Rest in Peace Alan Kirschenbaum

Alan Kirschenbaum

 

Today in Hollywood the comedy stopped
as well learned of the sad news that funny man Alan Kirschenbaum had taken his life. On the outside, and IMDB everything looked great, but obviously something was terribly wrong. I didn’t know him. I always wanted to work with him or at the very least take one of his classes. I followed him on Twitter out of respect and he was funny.
People often seem fine on the outside when they are really tragically sad on the inside. Suicide is something that is so hard for people to understand, but you have to know that it’s never your fault. Except I think in the case of my uncle Ricky, who when he was sixteen-long before I was born, took his own life but wrote my Dickens-esq grandfather telling him that it was his fault-in that case yes, it was maybe. But really at the end of the day it’s the person who decides to do it. Ultimately no one can change someone’s mind when they are in that dark place.
It breaks my heart that three people in Hollywood all took their lives recently and I just wonder what was so bad that they didn’t see that they had another way.
Rest in peace Mr. Kirschenbaum your spirit will stay with those of us forever and I hope that things are better on the other side.
If you are in that place, and I know it’s bad, really bad, please get help.

Nashville Keeps Getting Better

Nashville

Remember how I did an online dialogue workshop? Well my students were so ambitious that we finished a few weeks early, which is exciting. Here is even what’s more exciting, the new ABC show, Nashville. This is EXACTLY what I have been talking about. The characters speak so real and without telling us what is going on, what they say is showing us their past, their future and their present. It’s amazing and I am so happy that every Wed night I get to enjoy such a great show for one hour. You must tune in, especially if you have taken my online workshop or want to, or are a writing creating characters. Nashville brings it every time!

So Many Things to Say!

First of all CONGRATS to all my TV writing peeps who made it into the fellowships and the semi finals, or finals for ABC. Not sure where they are this year. I am excited for you all.

NASHVILLE pilot was awesome.

LAST RESORT is fun.

MODERN FAMILY is HI-LARIOUS as usual.

I have been insanely busy with a move, starting a new awesome illustration day job, writing like crazy and other things…so please forgive me for not being around much.

I promise to get back to it. Thanks for reading and please follow me on Twitter.
