The High-Minded Philosophy: Knowledge and the ability to communicate should be free and openly shared. In a society that's rapidly moving in a direction of increased written communication, now more than ever... blah, blah, blah, it's nice to know how to express yourself properly with the written word.
We get it.
The Idea Behind This Site: Basically, I got tired of the many "experts" who will gladly show you how to write... for a fee, of course.
That, or you'll find a gaggle of professional bloggers who all rehash the same basic tricks to writing a blog.
The plan is create an ever growing and evolving library of tips for screenwriting, fiction, non-fiction, blogging, playwriting, and so on for people to use. Maybe even the rare acting tip here and there.
Except for poetry, that is. Admittedly, I'm a lousy poet. I'm OK with that.
Who The Hell is Bobby? Since 2000, I've made my living as a writer and actor. I have a Master's in Professional Writing from USC and a BA in film from CSULB.
I've published over 40 fiction and non-fiction pieces in various magazines. I've covered live sporting events and interviewed celebrities. I've optioned screenplays and had plays produced. Most recently, I published my first book of short stories, "The Exciting Life and Death of The Amazing Henry and Other Stories."
I used to write for and manage a humor blog, TontoandFriends.com.
