When Will The Sun Gods Visit Us? / Bill True and Dean Hyers / Barack Obama

Anyone else tired of this weather? So gray, so rainy, so awful. Even Brando didn't want to go out for a walk. I'm sitting in my favorite coffee shop, surrounded by everyone else trying to get a pick-me-up. About to add some more pages to my script, hoping to finish by next week.

All twelve of us (9 NWSG Members, including a founding member/ex-Guild President) started with either a germ of in idea, a concept, or even a solid premise for three separate stories. We pitched them to the group and together we chose the strongest piece for each [...]
