Plot is a Four-Letter Word
Guest on Jan 31 2013 | Filed under: CRAFT
We're so pleased to bring you today's guest, Stuart Horwitz. Founder and principal of the editorial firm Book Architecture, Stuart has helped authors revise, polish and successfully publish their work for over 15 years, with clients who have gone on to become New York Times bestsellers and appear on shows like Oprah. His new book, Blueprint Your Bestseller: Organize and Revise Any Manuscript with the Book Architecture Method (Perigee) explains how. Welcome, Stuart!
Plot is a Four-Letter Word
When I work with writers, they all want to talk to me about their plot. "What is this plot you speak of?" I ask, and they say something like, "…you know, everything that happens…the important parts…the stuff that comes together and you know, means something."
Right.. One thing can do all that? Sounds pretty complex to me. The word "plot" is singular, but these writers are using it to describe so many different elements of their story. That is why I think plot is a nonsense word, a naughty word. We don't say it around my house.
The word you want instead is "series."
A series, as I define it, is a narrative element that repeats and varies. A familiar element that your reader can track throughout your book.
A series can be a character. When you think about it, people do repeat from day to day. How they talk, how they look, what they believe in. It is the way your character repeats that earns him or her the praise of being "consistent" or the criticism that he or she has acted "out of character." Getting to know someone through series is how a person becomes a character.
A series can be an object. Once an object's identity is established through repetition we are ready for its variation: that object can be used, it can be stolen, it can age or fall apart, whatever is appropriate to communicate meaning. A series is how an object becomes a symbol.
A series can be a relationship: the repetitions and variations in the interactions between two people, their ups and downs. A series can be a location: the scene of the crime or a return to hallowed ground. A series can be a phrase that is repeated in a way that expresses the book's theme.
How much variation, or change, occurs in each series is of course a matter of personal choice. Some characters may go through a change of heart so transformative, and the writer may portray it so well, that the reader undergoes a change along with the character, the empathic experience known as catharsis. A series can be central to the hero's quest, or it can be something offhand yet revealing like the weather. Either way it is series which brings us into the reading experience in a unique way.
Let yourself repeat when you write. Let yourself harp endlessly on a subject matter until you get the message that actually this is what your book is about.
So we should get used to this word "series." It probably seems obvious by now that your book would have more than one series. (By the way, the plural of series is "series." Sorry about that.) Your efforts would not be complex enough without several of these nifty things, maybe 10 to 15. Otherwise you might just have a short story on your hands.
If you do have several series then the real fun begins. When series interact and intersect, that's where you create real emotional impact. In some cases, two series come together and things can never be the same. But first you have to find them.
This is, incidentally, one of the best reasons to not try to organize anything in your first draft. Let yourself repeat when you write. Let yourself harp endlessly on a subject matter until you get the message that actually this is what your book is about — this right here is going to be a series which repeats and varies — and which lets us know what you're really talking about.
When you start connecting series with each other, when you start tying ropes together to make a knot, if you will, you might end up with a net that looks like what I think people mean when they say "plot." But you didn't get there by writing a plot. Such a thing is impossible, because a plot is something you achieve, rather than do; something you achieve like unity, or enlightenment.
About those things we can only hope. But while we're hoping, we can attend to the detail of series.

Very helpful post! Great point that a plot has many parts, and calling them something other than 'plot piecesparts' makes sense. However, in literature the word 'series' has a distinctly other meaning so I think that choice is confusing. Maybe 'threads' is more to the point? Branch? Plot meme? Create a new word for the concept and call it a pleme! Thanks for the early morning brain food!!
This was extraordinarily helpful! Because I've always been more character-driven in my writing, I always felt I was at a disadvantage when it came to "plot" development. This post gives me lots and lots of hope that I, too, can achieve plot greatness through this "series" approach.
Hi L.M. -- oh you definitely can, I can feel it! It really is just giving the structure some attention in a way that we normally give attention to the other techniques of writing, like dialogue and description. Knowing that it needs some focus and giving it that focus -- the rest is (pretty) easy!!
Can I kiss you now?
This is one of my favorite posts . . . completely makes sense to my pea-head.
I'm a plotter, and I would DIE if I didn't know where I was heading! I have to have an inkling of where I want my character to land. How he/she gets there, yes...that's the twining of events -- the series of movements, but without a rough idea of where I want to go? I'd have so many "little darlins," I could hardly kill them all.
Yes Renee, I see what you're saying! It would be disingenuous for me to say that when I sit down to write I start with nothing... But I don't recommend starting with too much either, you know, that will choke the life out of what wants to come anew...
Awesome book, awesome idea, awesome method. I have such a hard time with plot development and moving a plot forward, and this just makes so much sense. It really helps break down an impossible sort of task, which is how to make something interesting in a real way, as opposed to just flinging a bunch of whimsy and well-written scene-lets around. Every writer should give this a try, regardless of ability or experience.
What can I say, Jenn? Thanks for your open-mindedness. The proof really is in the pudding...
Hi Margaret! You make a very interesting point and I definitely experimented with threads and strands and other textile-based metaphors before settling on series. Series as in a series of events, or occurrences within a given set as in math. Each example of a series I call an "iteration" for the reason that series can be reiterated, which is at the juncture of repetition and variation. My only problem with series is that the plural is also series!
Lovely! This post needs to be read by all those writers who can't fathom using an outline that puts their story in a straight jacket before they can possibly know what's important.
Great point Zan! Or like I like to say, "Intelligent planning is not the enemy of creative genius!"
Brilliant. And I'm proof that Stuart's book architecture method works. I went to Stuart with an idea (maybe a so called plot), a title, and roughly 12,000 words for my memoir – my first book. I am a project manager by trade and, yet, my logical mind had no clue how to organize the project of writing my memoir. I assumed I had to know the beginning, middle, and end (the finished product, really) before I even started to write the book. I remember the exact day when I sat in Stuart's office and he pointed to THE chart. The chart that displays the building blocks for constructing a book - scene, SERIES, theme. I trusted Stuart's method and quickly learned to just write - write in scenes - generate the material. By the time I had written roughly 40,000 words, Stuart pointed to my theme. I kept writing in scenes, with a little more focus on the theme, and started to identify some SERIES. After I had written 90,000 words and all my scenes were written, I had the first draft of my memoir. Only then could we fully identify the SERIES – for better or worse, those key story elements that repeated in my life and supported my theme. For me, identifying my story's SERIES, helped me connect the dots in my own life and revealed exactly what I wanted to communicate to my readers – all in service to my theme – my one theme. The best part? I had all the components (scenes, SERIES, theme) of my book and an organized plan to construct my second draft, third draft, and perhaps, bestseller!
Yes...although I agree with your concept that the word "plot" may be found wanting when referring to all the intricacies that make up a book, "series" is indeed a confusing alternative, and, in my opinion, not a viable substitute for "plot." Its other connotation in the literary world nixes that for me.
Series describes a sequence of connected events expressed in chronological, spatial, or some other order to convey a similar subject or purpose.
However, when describing behavior, or changes in behavior (due to variables the character/object has to confront), a writer must first set up a "pattern" of behavior for that character or object. I believe this is a more adequate term instead of "series."
Once a pattern has been established, the reader understands why the character behaves the way he/she does when facing the twists of life.
When conflict or some other outside influence presents itself, the pattern either remains true to character, behaving as the reader would expect, or out-of-character, creating all sorts of delicious trouble to rectify. Plot points. Pattern points.
That being said, when asked about the plot of my WIP, I give a synopsis. I think that's what the person wants to know. As writers, we sometimes tend to complicate the simplicity of even the most innocent of questions.
Hi ML! I like your suggestion of "pattern"--my only fear is that it can refer as much to an overall picture which is unduly daunting in the same way as "plot," and I don't think patterns apply equally as well to objects, locations, and phrases the way series can. Food for thought! Thanks again for your response.
Fabulous! I'm too inspired by this to write more in this comment, because I have to get back to my book, which is a series that's chock-full of series! Thanks!
That's what we love to hear, Brea! In fact, my book makes just that point -- when you are inspired to write, go write!! This Book Architecture Method business is only to get you ready to write or write more! :)
"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' " Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't, till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "
"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less."
To communicate effectively, you need to use words as people understand them, not as whatever definition you feel like assigning to them. You can't just change the lexicon a group of professionals uses to suit your personal tastes. You can't redefine a common word like "series," which among writers has a particular meaning, and expect everyone to "get used to" a different meaning entirely.
Just because the word "plot" is often misused doesn't mean it's "naughty." If people use it incorrectly, you just need to define it for them. The plot is the sequence of events in a story, nothing more or less. We already have a phrase for "everything that happens...the important parts...the stuff that comes together and you know, means something"; they're called "narrative elements," and plot is one of them. By "character series" you mean the narrative element "characterization," and by "object series" you mean the narrative element "symbolism." There's no point in slapping new labels on them.
Hi T.K.! Well, I don't know that series is a very commonly used word for writers... That's why I think it was ripe to be, not exactly redefined, but brought up a level... By series do you mean several different volumes with the same characters? I don't know that it is that confusing to use the word to refer to both things. Series is meant to be an umbrella term to describe the repetition and variation of all narrative elements so that we can see the unification of their evolution, either improvement or deterioration, in a way that helps us appreciate the structure that lies underneath--and work on that structure to our benefit! Thanks again for commenting!
I usually find that my 'plot' is the first thing to come to me, followed by the characters and actions that help put the mest on the bones. I am finding more and more that it is really on a seco d draft when i develop my series and get to know my characters.
Very interesting perspective, thank you.
Hi Michelle! That is often when series surface most, in te second draft--in fact paying attention to them at that point helps give you the momentum and the focus to tackle that third draft, at a time when you may be wondering what am I writing about again?... ;)
I usually find that my 'plot' is the first thing to come to me, followed by the characters and their actions that help put the meat on the bones. I am finding more and more that it is really on a second draft when i develop my series and get to know my characters.
Very interesting perspective, thank you.
I was thinking along these lines while watching Les Mis. It's lovely the way musical themes mirror the meeting again of characters, the search for identity, etc. So much of story is visiting and re-visiting, while seeing change along the way. Adding a musical element certainly enriches things.
Hi Caroline, wonderful example! It is those echoes that really give the reader/viewer an idea of unity, like te creator is "home" and they are in good hands... It's funny, when you really look for series you see them everywhere: in musicals, in commercials, in children's books...
Thank you for this! It is very freeing. Before I started learning to write, I had always thought of plotting as huddling with my bff's to come up with some dirty rotten little scheme to play a trick on someone.
Exactly, Janie! Better to let te first draft come out however it will and then use a method like the Book Architecture Method to look into what you have created, and where you are trying to go! Good luck to you!!
So interesting because I usually think of plot as the events that happen in a book or movie, and all the other things you name kind of get hung on that - the plot like a framework or a big plain wooden sculpture that someone uses as a base for chicken wire and paper mache to create a deeper effect. I like the idea of series too though, but I think I need to get used to that since Mrs. Benefield used to hammer the concept into our heads in 3rd grade.
Clearly, I need this book!
Yes, Elizabeth, Mrs. Benefield wasn't the only one torturing her small charges! Believe me when I tell you that series will make your to-do list so much clearer than plot...
Thank you!
As I (get the gumption to) revise my latest book, this will help so much! The idea of tracking series through the book is so much less intimidating and more freeing than, "fixing the plot."
Thanks again!
Great news, Laura! It really is fun to track your series and then time their interactions and intersections with each other... It doesn't require knowledge of calculus either ;) just the belief that you can help your work by assessing it sometimes, as that you won't ruin it by doing so!
Very interesting take the writing process. While I agree with some of the other posts here that the semantic argument of plot vs. series is possibly confusing or a bit of a stretch, the concept is thought provoking and thus worthwhile to consider. On the whole, though, I think this approach would appeal much more to the right brain author who can get hung up on structure and thus impede their ability to free flow their creativity. Left brain authors, on the other hand, need structure or at least a destination before they can lay into developing their "series." All that said, I do appreciate such a different way of thinking about the writing process.
Hi Jack-- I agree with your comments here. I think there is a time and a place for structural work-- at least once during a project to be sure, but not as a crutch to avoid doing te work of creative exploration!
I am a die-hard, obsessive plotter. Love me some plot. Plot, plot, plot.
(Sorry. As many here can attest, I am a fan of using four letter words, as well. ;) )
I disagree with the thought that "plot" can't encompass a number of different elements, any more than the term "plan" (also singular) can't. A good plan does and should encompass different, often varied, elements. Essentially, a "plot" is just a "plan." (Although "Plot" does sound like it's a plan wearing a sinister mustache. Bwa-ha-ha!)
To me, a solid plot is rooted in realistic and well-conceived characters, and showcases an arc: the development and growth of a protagonist through a series of increasing conflict to a desired goal. I write and adore genre fiction; in that field, there's a high premium placed on getting this across in a way that's both recognizable and refreshing. At times, it can seem more engineering than art... but, to me, the artistry is always there.
That said, I have heard and respect that people often find the structure of "plotting" constraining at best and distasteful at worst. I think we've all got different processes, and need to find what's best for ourselves.
I think your approach will resonate with a lot of writers. Good luck with your book!
Thanks, Cathy! I agree that whatever we call it... readers need it -- a good structure with suspense, surprise and shock, withholding information and unanswered questions... these are the things that engage us on a physiological level, that provide the underpinning for our emotional pay-offs and aha moments!
A plot is where you bury someone or where someone buries you. I dig "series." If plot is (also) the sequence of events, and every event has already happened infinite times and will continue to happen infinite times, "series" seems to fit just right into my view of the universe. Thanks!
Ha! Love it, Jon. I never thought about in terms of the doctrine of eternal return, but now that I do... Nietzsche would be proud!
Where were you when I was writing my first draft?! Lord, I muddled and muddled until all I had...was a puddle. Now you've got me thinking so much about series in my own WIP and if I even have one.
Great post, Stu and thanks for introducing me to a new four-letter word. :)
Oh, don't worry, Hallie -- I'm sure you have plenty of series! It's training your eyes to spot them, that's the trick -- then once you see them you can fairly easy chart their iterations, and get one series to interact with another... which is where the real fun begins! Good luck!!
Wow, lots to think about here. Back in the days when I was just starting to write, it felt most natural to me to work the way you suggest, letting the material pour out and then figuring out later how to structure it, "series" it, "scene" it, etc. (Though I didn't think of it in those terms.) Now, when new ideas come to me, my inner editor hops directly to mapping out the series / scenes / structure and / or plot before I've even put a word down on the page. Which then makes for a very slow, laborious process when I do start putting words to paper, completely devoid of just letting the material flow -- which is something I really regret. So I wonder: how can I un-train my mind highly structured, Cartesian mind and keep it from getting in the way of the creative process?
Haha, great question, Sharon! It's an ongoing struggle, for sure, one that is recognized by many traditions of thought, including my favorite Zen Buddhism: "In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind, there are few." Maybe have a look at Shunryu Suzuki's book, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"? I'm serious!
I tried so many times to write without an outline and it just doesn't work for me. I'd rather spend a few days planning it all, and then let the imagination free in small bursts. In other words, I kinda know what happens here, but I will allow it to go "outside of the box" and re-arrange the plan for the other parts based on what comes out.
Thank you for this post!
Exactly, Iulian -- the plan evolves just as the content evolves... which is why series is so effective because it is much easier to adjust individual series than having to worry about the overall "plot" -- clunk thing... :) Thanks for checking in!

It's that time of year again. April Fools' came and went over the weekend, and a handful of the world's automakers joined in on a little Spring time fun. From intelligent anti-theft devices and TSA-inspired driver aids to automated NASCAR racers and high-performance hybrids, this year's raft of pranks were as good as any we've seen in past years. With April 1 falling on a Sunday, we saw fewer wise-cracking creations than before, but that didn't spoil the fun, so we thought we'd recap them for your enjoyment.
Mini took the cake this year with the company's Cowley Caravan and Swindon Roof Top Tent. The automaker went through the trouble of working up a full press release, complete with 20 photos and translations into a wide range of languages. We'll admit to being a little disappointed when we discovered the add-ons were a clever rouse. We'll just have to scrap our plans for a Mini safari. For now.
Hit the jump to see more April foolishness.
Mini Cooper Yachtsman
Mini teased the amphibious car world with the company's Cooper Yachtsman as well. A sea-going version of the three-door hatch, the tongue-in-cheek press release said the vehicle "will become an instant status symbol." Something like that.
Subaru XV self-washing car
Subaru jumped in with a self-cleaning version of the company's new XV. Push a button and watch the dirt fade away.
Kids happier with Darth Vader as their co-pilot
TomTom announced the company's research arm had found Darth Vader's navigation voice to increase happiness in children by 68 percent. The fake release attributed the findings to data collected from more than 300 baby and toddler volunteers.
Google Racing
Google rolled out more than a few April Fools pranks this year, including the announcement that the company intended to join the NASCAR fray with an autonomous vehicle. Insert obligatory "turn left" joke here.
BMW Driverless Running Coach
BMW didn't let Mini have all the fun this year. The German automaker announced a new driverless running coach feature for its vehicles as part of the company's partnership with the London 2012 Olympic games. We can think of few things as terrifying as being chased down by an automated 3 Series.
Solar-powered Subaru Tribeca
Planet Subaru in Hanover, Massachusetts prides itself on the 374 solar panels on top of the dealership. To mark April Fools, the company worked up a mock solar-powered Tribeca, complete with a panel on the roof and pack of batteries in the rear.
Honda anti-theft negotiator
This year, Honda released a video for Terii, a new anti-theft system capable of psycho-analyzing would-be thieves, ruining their credit and discerning their home address. Sounds like a win to us.
Callaway HyperVolt
Callaway has long been a haven for high-performance General Motors products, but the company doesn't have much of a history with EVs. As a prank, the company unleashed this photo on the web, complete with a spec list for a faster Volt. The HyperVolt would supposedly be able to dump 10,000 volts to the driveline which would be capable of revving to 120,000 rpm. Maniacal.
Subaru EyeSight with TSA option
Finally, Subaru played one last prank with a TSA option for the company's upcoming EyeSight driver assistance system. By combining pedestrian detection with TSA body scanners, drivers would be able to detect hidden objects on those in front of them.

The safety of our passengers, leaders and operators is a major priority of Intrepid. With this in mind we monitor world events very closely. Intrepid makes operational decisions based on informed advice from a number of sources.
The level of the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT) travel advisory. For any Intrepid Travel operated trip if this advisory is at Level 4 'Do Not Travel' then Intrepid will either cancel a trip or reroute the itinerary to avoid the areas concerned.
With over 400 leaders on the ground in operational destinations and subsidiary companies in our main hub cities, Intrepid has access to a up to the minute flow of information as to the mood and feelings within the countries we work in.
We are also in regular contact with the various operators we use. Their in depth knowledge and understanding of their various areas is vital.

A landslide hit Jemblung village and some of the surrounding area in central Java late on Friday 12th December. Intrepid does not travel through this area on any of our trips, and no travellers have been affected.
Nepal Airline safety - Fri, 2013-12-20
The EU has recently chosen to highlight the safety record in Nepal and as of 5th December 2013, all Nepalese registered carriers have been included on an EU list of 'Banned Airlines' In response to general concerns over the safety record of Nepalese carriers, in 2011 and 2013 a consortium of leading adventure travel companies asked independent air safety experts to visit Nepal to assess the suitability of the available air carriers. Following these comprehensive audits it was decided to restrict our use to just three approved carriers, which are Yeti Airlines, Tara Air and Buddha Air. It remains our firm policy to only use these three approved carriers for our customers and further audits will take place regularly. For emergency situations, we also have an approved list of helicopter companies for our use. Whilst acknowledging the safety issues identified by the EU, we believe we have taken all possible measures to reduce the risk to our customers of flying within Nepal. We would like assure that our customers' safety remains our number one priority at all times.

December 19, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - Rudolph Giuliani once loomed large over New York City and was lauded as "America's mayor" for his leadership after the Sept. 11 attacks.
His endorsement of Michael Bloomberg helped swing the 2001 mayor's race, and he left office with sky-high approval ratings.
One of his closest aides, Joe Lhota, is now vying to be the Republican nominee for mayor. But Giuliani has appeared infrequently on the campaign trail and will be out of the country during the primary's crucial home stretch.
Pundits say Giuliani has become a divisive figure. One consultant says he "couldn't get elected" in New York City today.
Giuliani has made a few appearances for Lhota and stars in the campaign's new TV ad.

No way, I actually think it'd be too hard for a one year old to "drive." We just got it for our DD's 2nd birthday, and she is still getting the hang of how to make it go with her feet. Granted she is a skinny girl, but she's definitely not too big. Personally, I think she would've been kinda young for it a year ago.
eta: btw, we also have a powered car for DD that SIL insisted on getting for Christmas. She does love it, but we made sure to get one that has a remote control option (it can either be remote controlled by parent or switched to be driven by child). I'm glad we got this kind b/c she definitely isn't ready to make it go (pedal and steering) by herself yet. We tried letting her drive it herself last weekend, and she couldn't comprehend how to push her foot on the pedal.
We have this - the bottom comes out and then they can do it on their own,
We got it for DD2's first birthday but my 4 yo uses it, too! She is 75th-90th percentile for height/weight so she's not a peanut. She's 40 lbs 41 inches.
She fits just fine in it and LOVES the door open/door close thing--just like we do in our car. She also likes to park it in its spot in the garage.
randa603:I just wanted to add that you can buy it from Walmart, shipped site to store for only $38. We ordered it about a week ago and it's here...I just need to go pick it up.
Ordered one from Walmart for DD's 2nd bday present last night. It had free shipping to me so that I don't have to go pick it up. I think I paid $41 for it, total.

To see the other half, step through the door near the cash register/box office and into the 64-seat black box theater. The show's about to begin. Tonight, it's In Love…Yet Again, a musical comedy by and starring Jason Powell. The set consists of a few chairs. Simple costume changes help Powell's three co-stars slip into different characters. The only instruments in sight are acoustic guitars played by the performers. It's part confessional monologue, part stand-up comedy and part musical – with smart, well-crafted songs with wit to burn.
This is the essence of Alchemist Theatre, "Ultra True-Definition 3D Entertainment," as its tongue-in-cheek postcards announce. Price of admission: 12 bucks – sometimes a little more. No passing the hat before the show. No fundraising envelopes in the program. The Alchemist is a for-profit enterprise.
"It's the obvious model for a lot of entertainment," says Kopec, whose history in the local music scene includes small-scale recording and producing projects. "There's the bar, and there's the back room where the band plays. The band attracts people. You make your money off the drinks. The band keeps the cover charge."
And it works. The "back room" at Alchemist has hosted dozens of productions since it opened in 2008, a coveted space for Milwaukee's small, so-called "do-it-yourself" theater companies.
Kopec first worked the stage at Dale Gutzman's Off the Wall Theatre, a kind of patron saint for Milwaukee's small theaters. It was there that Kopec first had the idea for a theater/bar combination, but Gutzman wasn't interested. So Kopec and Case leased a former copy machine repair shop in the heart of Bay View and went out on their own.
"We decided to take the leap," says Case, who has a business degree from Alverno College and works as a human resources manager at Harley-Davidson. Kopec, eager to realize his idea from Off the Wall, spent six months gutting the space and rebuilding walls. They bought used movie theater seats and reupholstered them themselves (the original seats have since been replaced). And then, in 2008, Alchemist opened. They rent the space "dirt cheap" to local theater and improv groups. And the Alchemist also produces its own shows, which have grown in scale and ambition – Kopec's adaptation of Faust last year was an environmental drama that played out in eight different locations around the building. It sold out before opening night.
Alchemist also started Project Empty Space last year, further establishing itself as the center of Milwaukee DIY theater. "People come to us with an idea," Case says. "And we help them make it happen. Marketing, scheduling, technical advice, casting. We produce it completely." So far, the shows have included a Ray Bradbury adaptation, the Marlo Thomas musical Free to Be You and Me, and an adaptation of a local writer's novel.
And local theatergoers have taken note.
"There are a lot of people in Milwaukee who don't know small theater even exists," Kopec says. "They know there's a gigantic complex Downtown where you went to on field trips. But that's all. People walk past this building every day, but one day it catches their eye and they stop in."
Role play
Since then, Kaye has returned with an adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 and a production of Cannibal! the Musical, written by Trey Parker ("South Park"). Juliet and Romeo is Kaye's "gender-flipped" retelling of Shakespeare's tragic love story. Inspired by the recent debates over gay marriage, Kaye and co-writer Theresa Stefaniak set the story in a matriarchal society where female same-sex couples are the norm and men are not allowed to marry. And it's the women who get the great onstage swordplay.
"There are a few places I could do shows," says Kaye, "but this place is incredibly comfortable. It's very much a home to me and the company. I don't have any background in technical stuff, and Aaron helps me with that."
Kaye has a day job offering financial counseling to cancer patients, so he welcomes the "escape" of doing plays but only plans to produce one or two a year. "Since I'm producing, I get to do the shows that I want to see," he says. "My goal is to get the show up, drop a little money into the actors' pockets and move on to the next."

In the United
States, the current debate over healthcare reform is really no debate
at all. Both sides of the argument accept the fundamental principle
of government intervention. Today few can recall a time when healthcare
was not considered an entitlement. Americans caught up in this racket
would do well to look south, to El Salvador. It has been a half-century
since medical care in the United States could be described as a
business. In El Salvador that is exactly what it is, a business.
There, the customer (patient) meets the service providers (doctors,
labs, hospitals, pharmacies) at that voluntary, mutually beneficial
place known as the market price.1
The typical
doctor's offices I have encountered are two-room suites in buildings
that are physically attached to small private hospitals. This is
the arrangement for my pediatrician, endocrinologist, and otolaryngologist:
a reception/waiting area and another space that serves as both office
and examining room. This is low overhead at its finest. Only two
people are involved, the doctor and his receptionist. No nurses,
no staff, no large group practices, and no offices jammed with secretaries
and insurance filers. There is only the receptionist out front that
makes your appointments, takes your payment, and writes your receipt.
A routine office visit costs about $35.00, cash or check. There
is no mention of insurance for these routine services. Any dealing
with this issue is strictly between you and your insurance company.
The physician's role is to provide service, receive your payment,
and hand you the proper receipts. Furthermore, all the doctors I
have dealt with in San Salvador have their personal cell phone numbers
printed on their business cards.
I recently
took my son for his regular medication update. It is a routine visit,
something we do every three to four months. The pediatrician's visit
goes something like this: I call and the receptionist, who recognizes
my voice, makes an appointment for 6:00 PM the next day. My son
and I arrive and, because of the hour, there is usually only a brief
wait. We are greeted by name and ushered back to see the English-speaking
doctor. Since he ordered blood work on our last visit, he goes over
the results in great detail, taking the time to talk to me about
my son's progress and growth. The doctor gives my son a complete
physical and records the findings. On any given visit, the doctor
answers his land-line and cell phones three or four times to receive
updates on patients or to discuss various ongoing treatments. These
calls rarely last more than a minute or two. This never seems disruptive.
Indeed, I am impressed with the doctor's efficient use of time.
When he is finished, he writes the prescription and sends us on
our way with a firm handshake. Back in the outer office, I pay cash
and we leave.
The same pediatrician
also doubles as our family physician, seeing my wife and myself
on routine cases. On one visit my wife, still suffering from a lingering
sinus infection, went along with me and my son. When called, we
all went back to the examining room. The doctor examined both my
wife and son. In the end, he did not charge for my wife's visit
and gave her enough sample medication for the first 24 hours of
an additional round of treatment.
The doctor,
having read some recent updates on my son's medication, suggested
an EKG and wrote out an order. He also phoned ahead and said that
the cardiologist would be ready for us in 15 minutes. I was, of
course, in full conditioned response mode, panicked at the hassle,
time, and cost this EKG would surely entail. As it turned out, the
cardiologist's office was just upstairs. I sent my wife and son
ahead while I settled up the bill with the pediatrician's receptionist.
When I arrived at the cardiologist's ten minutes later, they were
done! Another ten minutes and I had two copies of the EKG. I paid
$25.00 in cash and we were on our way, not one hour beyond our original
appointment with the pediatrician.
High-tech specialists
follow a similar pattern. My wife's sinus problem proved to be more
serious and required surgery. The otolaryngologist came highly recommended
and we made an appointment for later in the week, no problems, no
"referral." We arrived at another private hospital to
discover a beautifully appointed waiting room with a single receptionist.
The doctor's office was equipped with very latest video and endoscopic
technology. After a thorough examination, he ordered a CT scan.
Since it was after 6:30 PM, he called ahead. The radiologist agreed
to stay late to complete the procedure. We drove a short distance
and found another amazing set up: one receptionist, one CT technician,
and a female radiologist. Her office contained just one CT machine,
obviously the very latest, all in a storefront at a shopping center
two blocks from the hospital. The procedure was not cheap at $265.00,
but we were done and on our way in less than an hour, the typewritten
diagnosis and CT films in hand. Such convenience and efficiency
in an American medical practice is difficult to imagine.
Labs and
pharmacies also show careful attention to customer service. The
lab we use is not in a medical complex, but in a small commercial
office building. It is open on Saturdays, very helpful when my son
needs to arrive in a fasting state. The receptionist at the counter
reads the doctor's lab order, looks up the prices, rings up the
total, and presents the bill. Here I pay with my debit card. In
the next room, a technician draws blood with an attitude of cheerfulness
largely missing in the American scene. On one visit, my son had
his blood drawn by the owner of the lab himself, a well-respected
San Salvador pathologist.
In El Salvador
numerous pharmacies, national chains and independent stores alike,
compete in a vigorous marketplace that places high value on customer
service. Pharmacies routinely post the prices of popular medications,
the majority of which are available without an MD's prescription.
Often two or three stores from competing chains are in the same
block, sometimes in the same building. If they are out of stock
on any given medication, the clerk will phone another location nearby.
The pharmacy's motorcycle delivery man will ride over, retrieve
my prescription, and deliver it right to my front door. As always,
customer service comes first.
Quality, low
overhead, excellent service, payment when services are rendered
– these are the hallmarks of a market system. If only the would-be
healthcare reformers would use El Salvador's market medicine as
the example of what could be in the United States.
- El Salvador
also has a state-run healthcare system. Since I have had no personal
contact with that aspect of Salvadoran medicine, I can offer no
information on that subject.
Dunlap [send him mail]
has lived in El Salvador since 2005.

Friday, May 23 10:59:25
The Expert Group on Future Skills Needs has published its fourth Vacancy Overview report, which shows that many firms are finding it hard to recruit key IT staff.
It outlines the areas where job vacancies arose during 2013 and the continued demand for IT professionals was evident throughout the report.
The Recruitment Agency Survey also found an increased number of difficult to fill mentions for IT posts along with professional occupations in areas such as engineering, science, health and business; job announcements in the media were mostly for IT professionals and sales related occupations, followed by operative and associate professional positions.
Vacancies in construction are also beginning to appear following several years of low demand, it found.
While the vacancies represent some expansion in employment, many vacancies are occurring primarily due to a high level of turnover.
This is particularly the case for occupations in caring and sales where there is a high frequency of vacancies but no signs of employment growth.
Based on an analysis from two sources, DSP Jobs Ireland (representing all vacancies advertised through the public employment service) and IrishJobs.ie (a private recruitment agency), the index of job vacancy notifications shows that the volume of notifications of job vacancies to Irishjobs.ie has been increasing while vacancies advertised through DSP Jobs Ireland have remained constant.

There's a special tradition of nastiness in English gangster films: It's as if the Brits, given the opportunity to get violent, enjoy spitting with extra relish on their own civility. In Mike Hodges' I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Malcolm McDowell, as a London kingpin, decides to tamp down an underworld dabbler (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) who has been strutting around town selling drugs on the side, and the punishment isn't pretty: McDowell rapes him. An act of ''discipline'' that would look only mildly shocking in prison attains a singular brute ugliness.
I don't want to reveal much more of what happens in ''I'll Sleep When I'm Dead,'' except to say that the punishment has an effect even worse than intended. That's why Clive Owen, as the kid's older brother, a former gangster who has had some sort of breakdown and has been hiding out in the country for three years, must return to London to set things right. Hodges, whose appetite for sleaze is matched by his insistence on honor among scoundrels, perfected this sort of thing more than 30 years ago in the great Michael Caine thriller ''Get Carter,'' and now, at 72, he still knows how to unspool a mystery with a hypnotic pace of sadistic intrigue. There's a squeamish strain of homophobia in the way that ''I'll Sleep When I'm Dead'' plays out, yet the film is held together by Clive Owen, who spends most of his time on screen hidden beneath matted hair and a scruffy beard but still has more aura than any actor around.

BBC America Drama COPPER Canceled
by Allison Keene Posted 1 year, 94 days ago
BBC America has announced that this second season of its gritty period crime drama Copper, which wrapped earlier this week, will be the series' last. Though Copper had a well-received outing (I reviewed it positively at the time), it never found a steady audience, especially after its first season premiered at the start of a heavy fall line up last year. The show returned this summer hoping to gain more traction, but ultimately it never seemed to distinguish itself enough from two other foundering series, AMC's Hell On Wheels and BBC's Ripper Street, which cover a similar time frame and gritty aspect. Hit the jump for more on BBC America's comments, as well as the future of their scripted series.

Catherine "Kate" Campion
Catherine 'Kate' Campion passed away peacefully at Sterling House, Loveland CO, just seven days before her 92nd birthday. A resident of Allenspark since 1976, and Estes Park since 1989, Kate's life was focused on her family, faith, friends and community. Her family, friends and care-givers lauded her with compliments as a gracious lady with dignity, kind, sweet and gentle, faith-filled, always caring and appreciative, elegant and well-dressed – usually in pink! Her positive attitude and strong faith buoyed her through many years of arthritic pain and hip surgeries.
As a true 'gypsy Bohemie' she loved the adventure of travel, first to Colorado in the early 1950s, and enjoyed multiple trips with her family across the USA, to Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico and, beginning in 1968, throughout Europe. Her last trips were in 2001 to Tahiti, 2004 to Lourdes, and 2008 on a Caribbean cruise with all her children.
Born in Iowa on July 14, 1919 to George & Julia Krall, Kate attended Business College and worked at the Home & Farm Division of the US Department of Agriculture for 5 years before marrying Bernard J. Campion on April 14, 1942. They farmed near Iowa City, IA for nearly 35 years before retiring to Colorado and Mesa, AZ where they were active in the local communities.
Kate is survived by her daughters, Carolyn Campion of Lausanne, Switzerland and Jan (Bill) Frame of Loveland, as well as daughter-in-law, Jan Campion of Omaha, NE. She is survived by her grandchildren, Justin (Ashlee) Frame of Centennial, CO, Spencer Campion Frame of Loveland, and Christa (Jason) Adams of Bothell, WA, and Dean (Dawn) Campion of Aurora, CO. She has 4 great-grandchildren: Travis Walker Frame, Hayley Campion Frame, Orinn Catherine Adams, and Patrick Joseph Campion. She is also survived by her brother, Russ Krall and his wife Dolores of Estes Park, and by 3 sisters-in-law, Monie Krall of Solon, IA, Dorothy Shay of Iowa City IA, and Alice Miller of Central Point, OR, as well as 16 nieces and nephews. Kate was preceeded in death by her husband, Bernard, in May 2000, her son Russ in October 2009, her brother Harold Krall in 2003 and sister Lena Anderlik in 2007.
A Rosary Vigil service will be held on July 14th at 7 p.m. at Our Lady of Mountain Catholic Church, Estes Park, where Kate & Bernard were long-time members. Kate's 92nd birthday will be celebrated with a reception following the Rosary. A Memorial Mass in celebration of her life will be held August 15th at 10am at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Scholarship Fund of Knights of Columbus of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, to Good Samaritan Society-Estes Park Village, or to Front Range Hospice in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Kate's family.

Reason – Life Of A Star
Artist Name : Reason
Genre : Hip-Hop/Rap/Pop
Year formed : 2003
Hometown : Orlando, FL
Website : thecoolgraduate.blogspot.com
Myspace : myspace.com/thebestreason
Label Type : Unsigned
Featured Track : Life Of A Star Ft. Raz
They said that Dean Martin was the "King of Cool," and they were probably right. It takes a certain type of person to become the center of attention the way he did. It's the kind of person that Orlando, FL raised, Los Angeles based rapper Reason idolizes.
"Old Hollywood" seemed like light-years away for Reason, growing up and honing his craft in a place that's better known for Mickey Mouse than music. But that was never a deterrent for the young talent, who eventually found himself rapping for Diddy on MTV's "Making The Band 2″. After appearing on video game soundtracks, performing all across the world, and releasing critically-acclaimed mixtapes, Reason finally decided to further emulate his idol by moving to Los Angeles.
Now at age 26, Reason has matured into a natural entertainer and showman, with Rat Pack-like charisma and style. He's on the brink of releasing his debut EP "The Cool Graduate" and the music video for his single "Life of a Star," a track that certifies him as a Hip-Hop crooner extraordinaire.
The budding rapper/screenwriter plans on taking the entertainment industry by storm, with great music, television, and film projects in the works. Much like his idol, Reason plans to do everything with a sense of coolness, class, and sophistication. The kind of qualities that made Dean Martin a legend. Something that Reason hopes to one day become.
