I'd love to have seen the edge you'd have given the script. All I could suggest was satirizing it, which didn't go over well with anyone. Has filmmaking ever put you off writing, thinking, damn, how can you compete with that on page. Again, poetry might have a chance. No, poetry seems to be in full retreat while the novel, especially, is healthier than ever.
Film is a dumb medium.
It can't really show us each other's lives, which is what we're really interested in. Okay, another question as we wind down. So would you ever tackle the vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc. I was going to write a supernatural horror novel this year but found another novel lurking inside it and yet another one inside that. It's rare that I actually plan to write a book and then write that book.
