From Garbo with my father to 'Star Wars' with my son

Article Abstract:

Motion picture theaters have a particular magic which means that childhood visits can be remembered into adulthood. The memory is not only clear, but possesses an emotional force. Motion picture theaters were locations for childhood pranks and teenage passions, though the passion meant that the movie tended to be neglected. These memories become more poignant when taking one's children to the movies. A three-year-old can be surprisingly well-behaved in a motion picture theater, due to the magic of movies.

Fear and self-loathing: in other words, that difficult first novel

Article Abstract:

Writing a novel requires a great deal of self-discipline. It is necessary to set a strict deadline and to not make excuses to avoid beginning work. However, working on the novel to the exclusion of everything else, particularly family life, may prove damaging. Some writers find it best to work late at night, when the rest of their family is asleep and there are no real distractions. It may be at this time that creativity really begins to flow.
