  That's right, if you show up at the Plaza tonight looking for your Pass, it won't be there. Proceed to the Highland Inn Ballroom to get your Pass. It's two blocks away on Highland, walking away from Ponce.   What movie is playing again? I forgot. It's Joe , starring Nic Cage and Tye Sheridan. Sheridan and director David Gordon Green will be in attendance. There are still tickets left!    What about parking? There's free parking at the Plaza, but you can also at the Druid Hills Presbyterian Church ($5). There's street parking too.

  Behold, the outline to my next book:   Since posting this image a few days ago, I’ve had a few fiction writer friends ask me how I ended up with just an overt outline. It looks very definitive up there, doesn’t it? Like I know what I’m doing or something (ha!). The truth is, thanks to a book called The Anatomy of Story, by a script-guru named John Truby, I actually do know a lot more what the next book is shaped like than I did only two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, this idea was a jumble of notes and rejected pages, a pile of characters and a daunting list of research. I’ve learned that I write better, and have more fun doing it, if I have a roadmap. And using a roadmap like Truby’s, which offers up the reassurance that I can make my story stronger by thinking about all of its elements in a calculated way in advance of writing it, is particularly useful to me.  I find that because Truby is written for screenwriters, the book’s tone is very direct in a way ...

All articles from The Walking Dead blog »   Actor Josh McDermitt, who plays Dr. Eugene Porter on AMC’s  The Walking Dead,  talks about modeling his character on a close family member and the secret truth about his mullet.  Q: This is your first season on the show. What about The Walking Dead appealed to you? A: The Walking Dead was my favorite show before I even auditioned for it. That’s every actor’s dream, to be on a show that they’re a fan of. It’s just dark, and as a comedian I’m drawn to dark things. Q: Is there room for comedy in the apocalypse? A: I think there can be some humor, but it needs to be subtle. I’m not sure that’s what draws people to a show like The Walking Dead.  I talked to some of the writers about this, because one of them came up to me after a scene and was like, “Oh my god, that was so funny.” And I was scared! I’m not trying to make it funny. She was like, “No, no, no. It’s great. It works.” So as long as it’s gr...

  Actor Lawrence Gilliard Jr., who plays Bob Stookey on AMC’s  The Walking Dead,  talks about his apocalypse-ready clarinet skills and how his character from  The Wire would react to zombies. Q: You’ve been in a lot of crime-centric shows. Were you excited to do something different on The Walking Dead ? A: Yeah absolutely. You get to play and have more fun and be more creative when you’re doing a show like this. Killing zombies — that’s what you do as a kid! Now I get to do it as a grownup. I definitely looked forward to the change and I’m having fun. Q: Your character is a medic. Do you have any skills that would be useful in the apocalypse? A: I play clarinet. I also play the drums, so I could keep the spirits lively and entertain everyone. That’s all I could do. Q: Bob is a pretty good shot. Did you do any weapons training for the role? A: None so far. When I was young, I learned to shoot, so I don’t really need any training for that. Q: You’ve...
