Zen

I stumbled upon an ad from the WGA East today at work. I thought I'd share it. It's an excerpt from "On Writing" (Not Stephen King's fabulous book, but from a publication by WGAE).

"[David] RAYFIEL: You know, there are only two things I know about screenwriting. One is a quote from Kuniyoshi, a Japanese-American painter who was once asked about his way of working. And he said, 'At a certain point I send the model home.' And that's the way it happens. You can't keep going back to the model or the source. The screenplay becomes its own source.
...[the second thing is] something Willa Cather once said: "Whatever is felt upon the page without specifically being named there, that, one might say, is created.'"
