Wrote a paper on "Shakespeare in Love" (and the original Shakespeare) for lit in highschool.

My paper wasn't any good. Really in retrospect or at the time.

How he had reinvented it, reinvigorated it. (TIL about banished Rama and Sita from the Bhagavad Gita.) But then I realized it would just be easier to be a critic.

Anyways, truly when I lucked into big time screenwriting gigs it was in part because of the time I had spent writing a paper about Tom Stoppard's work.

I also remember watching "Finding Forrester" a lot. Punch the keys!
