COMMENT:   Can you come up with other excuses not to write?  And do let us know how you get back in the mood to write?

Maria Ferrer is a champion procrastinator.  However, she has managed to finish one book.  Now, if she could only find the time to edit it and submit.  But alas, there’s a new Gerard Butler movie at the theatre she’s late for. 

 

FAVORITE ELIZABETH TAYLOR FILM

Elizabeth Taylor died on Wednesday.

She was sensuality personified.  Her talent, her roles and her men all made her a legend in Hollywood and the world over.

I've been trying to think of my favorite film of hers, and there are more than plenty to choose from.  I'm going to go with "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

She was brilliant in the role.  Sensual. Sultry. Needy. Greedy. Fascinating. Vulgar.  I loved it.  Of course, Paul Newman wasn't bad either.
