All my writing since october has been business writing.

No fiction since I left for Taos, NM in November 2015.  Out there, at 10,000 feet, some screenplay reviews and fixes but no additional scenes. More progress promoting Inconceivable! on paper and it was well received by students and colleagues. I am known there as "Steve, The Author" , based on past output, but not on current terms.

Creativity and self expression of a different sort exhibited itself in Taos.  I kept to  my pledge of contacting and enjoying silence, contacting and enjoying nature (often simultaneously), trusting my feelings and functioning smoothly. Certainly I was open to possibilities of all kinds, and all kinds of possibilities manifested beautifully.  But there was no output in terms of additional pages in Inconceivable!, The Screenplay.

Since returning, plenty of writing, but again, none in Final Draft.  A collaborator might have been nice to find for several writing projects, but though there were literary types on the  mountain and in the valley, not a screenwriter in the lot.

There was a flash of inspiration now and again regarding part 2 and some nuance added here and there.  It is still calling to be written, and now to be sold as a pair!

Inconceivable! is fiction...on the other hand...

It's rare to bring homicide charges against a physician, but the case came amid a prescription drug abuse epidemic that has led lawmakers to try to rein in so-called pill mills that dole out medications with little scrutiny.

"You can't hide behind a white lab coat and commit crimes," Deputy District Attorney John Niedermann said. "Writing a prescription to someone knowing that they're going to abuse it and potentially die was the theory of second-degree murder that we had."

The doctor repeatedly ignored warning signs even after several patients died as she built a new medical clinic in Rowland Heights with the money she made from them, earning $5 million in one three-year period.

Dr. CC makes it from Inconceivable! to the front page!

"The defendants illegally distributed more than 500,000 tablets of oxycodone over a five-year period, pills with a street value of $10- and $15 million," said Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York.

Prosecutors and the Drug Enforcement Administration say pharmacist Lilian Wieckowski and her husband, Marcin Jakacki, illegally sold 760,000 Oxycodone pills, more than 400,000 without any doctor's prescription.

Their Chopin Chemists pharmacies on Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn and Fresh Pond Road in Queens were allegedly the center of their operation.      

"Using her position to sell hundreds of thousands of Oxy tablets to dealers for further re-sale on the street, fueling opioid abuse and addiction," said James Hunt, the special agent in charge of the DEA in New York. "From DEA's perspective, Wieckowski is nothing more than a white-collar drug dealer."

No one talks about these Inconceivable! events, yet they occur regularly...

DETROIT (AP) — A 26-year-old woman on Monday expressed her indescribable pain and regret for the death of her newborn son whom she stuffed into a plastic bag after giving birth to him at her suburban Detroit workplace.

Kimberly Pappas was sentenced to 9 to 20 years in prison. The Wyandotte woman earlier pleaded guilty to second-degree murder under an agreement with prosecutors to drop charges including felony murder and child abuse.

"The pain and regret I have over this really can't be put into words," Pappas said.

Who would do this? Its Inconceivable!

The Florida couple accused of murdering their nine-week-old baby boy allegedly let the infant waste away in his crib, and then the closet, for more than a week after his father beat him to death, officials said.

Joseph Walsh, 36, was charged Tuesday with first-degree felony murder in the death of his newborn son, Chance, who had been missing for more than a month when his body was found in a shallow grave in the woods less than 13 miles from their home, according to a probable cause affidavit.
