So I’m sitting here, staring at a blank screen, wondering what to write. Then it dawns on me—we’ve all “been there, done that.” Don’t you hate when those words won’t come no matter how many times you take a stretch break, powder your nose, or even do the dishes? I’m willing to admit that my kitchen sparkles! But eventually, something pops into the ol’ brainpan and out comes magic. I think that’s one of the amazing perks of being a writer—the sense of instant creativity. What other job allows you to put words together that paint pictures, describe someone, in- flame emotions and tell a story? We are truly the lucky ones. And we’re even luckier by belonging to SouthWest Writers. It’s a direct result of SWW-—the connections and education—that I’ve published many magazine articles, three novels and one non-fiction book (more on the way). I’m firmly convinced it’s networking, that face-to-face, one-on-one communication, that makes or breaks careers. And speaking of careers (notice the clever segue here), I’d like to pass along something that made me think and then decide about why I write. Many years ago at a SWW meeting, a local published author was giving a talk and a question he posed has stayed with me. Back then, I President Melody Groves was a fledgling writer, not sure why I was at that SWW meeting. All I knew for sure was that some tug in my subconscious compelled me to put ink on paper. He said there are two kinds of writers…those who just want to write and are happy penning the local church bulletin or long letters to loved ones, and those who want to get published in magazines and books. He asked, “What kind are you?” Right then and there, like a bulb over my head switching on, I realized I wrote to be published. I have no doubt that was a de- fining moment in my writing life. Since that day, I have hunkered down and worked really, really hard. So, friends, I ask that question of you. If you haven’t decided, what kind are you? See you in September (hey, that phrase is kind of catchy. They should write a song like that).

    CITIZEN KANE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Harlan Lebo | 368 pages | 01 May 2016 | Thomas Dunne Books | 9781250077530 | English | United States Citizen Kane () - IMDb Mankiewicz , who had been writing Mercury radio scripts. One of the long-standing controversies about Citizen Kane has been the authorship of the screenplay. In February Welles supplied Mankiewicz with pages of notes and put him under contract to write the first draft screenplay under the supervision of John Houseman , Welles's former partner in the Mercury Theatre. Welles later explained, "I left him on his own finally, because we'd started to waste too much time haggling. So, after mutual agreements on storyline and character, Mank went off with Houseman and did his version, while I stayed in Hollywood and wrote mine. The industry accused Welles of underplaying Mankiewicz's contribution to the script, but Welles countered the attacks by saying, "At the end, naturally, I was the one making the picture, after all—who had to make the decisions. I used what I wanted of Mank's and, rightly or wrongly, kept what I liked of my own. The terms of the contract stated that Mankiewicz was to receive no credit for his work, as he was hired as a script doctor. Mankiewicz also threatened to go to the Screen Writers Guild and claim full credit for writing the entire script by himself. After lodging a protest with the Screen Writers Guild, Mankiewicz withdrew it, then vacillated. The guild credit form listed Welles first, Mankiewicz second. Welles's assistant Richard Wilson said that the person who circled Mankiewicz's name in pencil, then drew an arrow that put it in first place, was Welles.

Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact Many Flee Homes to Escape 'Gas Raid From Mars'--Phone Calls Swamp Police at Broadcast of Wells Fantasy This article appeared in the New York Times on Oct. 31, 1938. A wave of mass hysteria seized thousands of radio listeners between 8:15 and 9:30 o'clock last night when a broadcast of a dramatization of H. G. Wells's fantasy, "The War of the Worlds," led thousands to believe that an interplanetary conflict had started with invading Martians spreading wide death and destruction in New Jersey and New York. The broadcast, which disrupted households, interrupted religious services, created traffic jams and clogged communications systems, was made by Orson Welles, who as the radio character, "The Shadow," used to give "the creeps" to countless child listeners. This time at least a score of adults required medical treatment for shock and hysteria. http://members.aol.com/jeff1070/wotw.html (1 of 32)1/7/2004 6:30:46 AM Radio's War of the Worlds Broadcast (1938) In Newark, in a single block at Heddon Terrace and Hawthorne Avenue, more than twenty families rushed out of their houses with wet handkerchiefs and towels over their faces to flee from what they believed was to be a gas raid. Some began moving household furniture. Throughout New York families left their homes, some to flee to near-by parks.

  • Corrupt Cops of Noir
    THE STAINED SHIELD Corrupt Cops of Noir By Sharon Knolle y the bitter end of John Huston’s The Asphalt Jun- gle (1950), a gang of jewel B thieves is mostly dead or in jail. As reporters question Police Com- missioner Hardy (John McIntire) about one officer’s involvement with the thieves, Hardy replies, “There are corrupt officers in police departments. The dirt they’re trying to clean up is bound to rub off on some of ’em, but not all of ’em. Maybe one out of a hundred. The other ninety- nine are honest men trying to do an hon- est job.” He then flips on the police radios behind him, flooding his office with over- lapping crime reports. “We send police assistance to every one of those calls ’cause they’re not just code numbers on a radio beam, they’re cries for help. People are being cheated, robbed, mur- dered, raped. It’s the same in every city of the modern world. But suppose we had no police force, good or bad. Sup- pose we had . .” he pauses for dramatic effect, then switches off all the radios, “just silence. Nobody to listen, nobody to answer. The battle’s finished. The jungle wins. The predatory beasts take over.” The Asphalt Jungle is one of noir’s bleakest entries, but its view of the police is relatively rosy: the cops are here to save us from the real criminals. Without them, civilization would collapse into chaos. That’s true in many police procedurals on television, which tend to valorize cops.

  • Staging Orson Welles
    STAGING ORSON WELLES Matthew Christopher Gretzinger A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2010 Committee: Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Dr. Stephannie Gearhart Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Scott Magelssen Dr. Cynthia Baron ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In this study I consider the legacy of Orson Welles as a stage figure puppeted in a collective theatre of memory. The study builds on Jonathan Rosenbaum's observation that Welles remains a "mythical and ideological creature" and a "site for the acting out of various fantasies." Referencing Marvin Carlson's The Haunted Stage and Joseph Roach's Cities of the Dead, I apply their insights to three plays that feature Welles as a pivotal character: Jason Sherman's It's All True, Austin Pendleton's Orson's Shadow, and the Naomi Iizuka-Anne Bogart collaboration, War of the Worlds. My central concern is to consider the ways we remember and stage Welles and, in light of Rosenbaum's insight, to also question the myths and ideologies those stagings act out. A corollary to my interrogation of Welles's stage figure as a site of memory is my conviction that the collective memory of Welles's life and work might be staged more usefully. The plays considered approach Welles from different perspectives. However, all – to varying degrees – assess negative judgments. Welles's legacy has been subject to conflicting interpretations, and the arbitration of his historical and remembered significance is a process with important consequences.
