Yes, yes, I have absolutely been neglecting my blogging duties to you all. I can’t tell you how many posts I have bumping up against each other in my head. Next thing you know, I’ll be writing about how Zach Braff falls in love with a six foot bunny when he goes home to his mom’s funeral in Idaho riding a horse who likes tater tots. But I swear: it’s not just this Gothamist Interview thing that’s been taking up my time. In fact, most of it was done before this week started anyway, and it has been a lot of fun. There have been some other things occupying my addled brain the past week-and-a-half or so, and hopefully they will be resolved very soon in a very positive way. Moving on …
So hopefully I’ll get something else written today. But in the mean time, please don’t neglect checking out today’s interview with Sean Desmond, an editor at St. Martin’s Press. Sean has also written one novel (it was called “Adams Fall”), and that novel actually become a movie … sort of. Remember that guy Stephen Gaghan who seemed to come out of nowhere (although he had been writing for TV) to win an Oscar for his Traffic screenplay? Well that Oscar earned him the right to direct something, and he took Sean’s book, switched some minor things around (like changing the protagonist from a guy to Katie Holmes) and called it Abandon. Yeah, I missed it too, although I do remember when it came out, so that’s something, right?
But none of that is important, really, because Sean is a really interesting and witty guy. And if you head on over to Gothamist, you’ll see that too.
