" I highly recommend talking to yourself!" Carl Reiner said.
"If you are smart, and you ask yourself good questions,
you get good answers!" Today I had lunch with TV/Move Comedy Legend Carl Reiner, along with Film Critic Gred Moody, the Gov, and 200 other fans at the Starz Film Festival at the SIE Film Center on Colfax in Denver. The 91 year old creator of the Dick Van Dyke Show, as well as writer of Steve Martin's first hit movie, The Jerk, as well as Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, The Man with Two Brains, and the Comic, gives credit for his first writing success to his late wife, Estelle. "I had been invited to a meeting with a book publisher, to write stories. I told her, 'I don't know about words! I don't have many words, I'm not well educated!' She said to me, 'You may not have words, but you have feelings. Write about what you feel."
If you hunger for more, check out his book, "I Remember Me."
Today's prompt: Today, at the end of the day, take a quick list inventory of the various feelings you traveled through during the day. Circle one. Please describe that feeling. What color is it?
Draw a picture of it. Ask yourself: what is this feeling telling me, and what do I do next?"
Please keep writing. All best, Jo'el
