That's what Raymond Carver taught us. But if you want to see what happens when a few other people enter your dream, then movie making is for you. We aren't novelists anymore. Other people have something to say. that's movie making. every time you have a dream, you wake up. That’s what Raymond Carver taught us.

I like the insight on the process, too. I wonder how often the 'good enough' scenario happens in major productions. I watched the movie "The Number 23" the other night (starring Jim Carrey) and I suspect that they said good enough on pretty much every scene. Even then, the movie was too long. Something I would like to know is, for those involved in the glamorous world of cinema (I mean making movies, not making popcorn at the movie theater), how many of them really like the work?

It's tough to capture the essence of a doughnut shop in two minutes. The tempo made it seem almost like spoken word poetry, which worked for me.

Lyle, you're right. Fisher made a few edits, because I was trying to say a lot in a short time. It takes so much work to make two minutes of video that you start to just say, "good enough." The manic pace of my voice didn't really fit with the slow sense of time in the video, but we tried to blend the two best we could. Thanks for the critique. Tempo will be something to work on next time. I don’t know how to work this internet thing. Lyle, you’re right. Fisher made a few edits, because I was trying to say a lot in a short time.

Maybe slow the delivery down a bit? It felt like you flew through my favorite part. You sound like you’re auditioning to host Soul Train. Maybe slow the delivery down a bit?
