My Writing Wolf – Melissa J White

Author, Screenwriter, Content Developer. Kizuna: Fiction for Japan. By Melissa J White. Every risk has a potential for reward or rejection. The trick, I have discovered, is to expect something beyond both. I play a math game: If I only take one risk a month, I may only have one success in a year.

I asked him, “Is it a crow or a raven? I knew it...

Author, Screenwriter, Content Developer. Kizuna: Fiction for Japan. By Melissa J White. Keeping a consistent viewpoint over time brings about a unique advantage in understanding humanity. Having faith in that vision is the core of Christopher Nolan’s pre-national, 35mm, 169-minute release of Interstellar.”. Then it got crazy and big. The conceit of the film, its message, is easy to spot. Somewhere in the long middle, after a harrowing disaster, when the crew is trying to decide what to do next, Dr...

Author, Screenwriter, Content Developer. Kizuna: Fiction for Japan. By Melissa J White. Today: A new earthquake in Nepal. I haven’t been listening to any news at all, except what is going past on my computer screen at work social media shares, lengthy descriptive email threads, a quick trip to the New York Times to check the spelling of Kathmandu, to see how they say things.

I spent the day deleting photos from Facebook, deleting posts. To forget me, to move on. What I cannot figure out is this: Why did he let our marriage go on so long when he knew it was a lie?
