The home of Cormac Brown. As well as an irreverent look at writing, screenwriting, food, and City life. But that's not all, I'm also a purveyor of apparel and housewares for the aspiring and inspired writer www.cafepress.com/writeprocrast

The One Labor of David Anaxagoras
You've heard of most of the famous Greek Gods, but you don't know of the one that came down from Olympus and to live amongst us in mortal form, David Anaxagoras.
The Scribosphere is spreading across the planethttp://www.frappr.com/thescribosphereand in our new world order, we promise to be both firm and benevolent. We will be merciful with producers, only making them get coffee for us and run errands. The studio suits? No Camp X-Ray for them, just a "reconditioning site" where they will be forced to watch quality movies until they get "it" or they can't go home, period.
No more of that low six figures against that mythical mid-to-high six figure stuff paid to scribes. Screenwriters will actually get the latter number from now on and no fictitious or "monkey" points on the back end, either. Yes, you will enjoy life under the Scribosphere because all will prosper when the writers prosper and...
what? It's not that kind of organization? Um, never mind.
Anyway, I was looking at where they placed me on the map because it's by zip code and what should I find out? I'm living at the Golden Gate Park Equestrian Stadium and the arrow has me just southwest of the stables. That's like thirty-eight blocks away from the apartment and I doubt it is even in the same zip code.
Not a problem. I'll have the Missus buy a saddle, someone have the Maestro cue Ginuwine's "Pony" and feed me some sugar cubes.
"Cormac Brown" is my pen name. I'm an up-and-slumming writer in the city of Saint Francis, and I'm following in the footsteps of Hammett...minus the TB and working for the Pinkerton Agency. I've had stories posted on Flashing In the Gutters, Powder Burn Flash, Six Sentences, Astonishing Adventures Magazine, Crooked Magazine, Needle Magazine, Dark Valentine Magazine, and Beat To A Pulp.
