Survived another show!

Discovered to my regret a number of the women in the show have quite well developed abilities to say no to my advances, so Quest Talk One of the Women in Breaking the Long Run of Male Chief Scriptwriters may have to wait another year.

Say, Le Guin recommended SF author Sarah Tolmie teaches at UW....

Based on a conversation I had last night with Steve Hutton, I suddenly have the suspicion that editing by a real (as in published) author would entail the kind of hurt feelings that would kill participation in the show.

It is, of course, just a suspicion, so if you want to approach Sarah Tolmie and ask, well, you are welcome to.

I think that's more on the directing side. There's no reason the writing team couldn't deliver something professional. There are a couple of constraints that you have to keep in mind about the actors, is all. The wrangling about the script all happens in a small group before the open process where nobody can be turned away starts up. (At least, that's how it worked during my brief time.)

How do I get ahold of any of her stuff? Amazon has never heard of her, and I can't seem to find anything anywhere else.

James, James, James, when are you going to realize that women do not exist only to satisfy your base scriptwriting desires?
