Everything comes from Somewhere

 “Merissa” from Picture Truths

Everything we produce comes from somewhere. Patrick said to me the other day that the hardest part is coming up with pure fiction. Something that comes only from the imagination. But this “pure” fiction is a myth. Everything comes from Somewhere. There is nothing new under the sun.

My cousin Connie told us this story about a shooting that happened right across the street from her house out in the East. It has finally worked it’s way into the script.

We catch anecdotes and personality disorders. Our heads spin with the stories people tell us. Everything we see. Everything we taste. Sometimes it gives me a headache.
