I'm guesting next month on a podcast called Fire & Water. Not sure when it will drop. But it's a podcast devoted to MASH and delving into specific episodes. They had gotten to our first, "Out of Sight/Out of Mind" and that's why they invited me. But it brought back a lot of memories....Today, 06:05 AM

That's a terrible title, but what I'm referring to is the writer's strategy of alternating the emotional tone of scenes/sequences to keep the reader on edge and therefore engaged, i.e. a rollercoaster vs a long smooth trolly ride. I noticed this recently while binge watching episodes of Netflix's "Dead...01-12-2022, 06:54 AM
