Creative Juices: October 2014

"If I quieted the voices in my head I would face the day with nothing to write."

“The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is that you really want to say.” Mark Twain.

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

The Man in the High Castle.

Roslyn has been invaded by Hollywood and Amazon.
The sounds and flickers of a set being built echoed throughout the valley all week.
A pilot for an Amazon original series is being filmed in our small town. Money changes hands and lives are disrupted. Some grumble and some embrace.

I thought it would be cool to be an extra in something like this. Alas was never called to participate but I did watch the excruciating process, Shana and I sat for hours perched upon the Roslyn Yard rail and watched slowly the process unfold until we were cold, hungry and ready for a drink.
