A Story of Love: DITCH
I’ve always wanted to write a love story. But i’ve always wanted to write honestly about love… the experience of it. So I wrote DITCH.
I believe to write honestly about love you have to explore self as much as the romance. I think our relationship with ourselves dictates our ability to successfully love others… our ability or inability to communicate. The dysfunction that troubled communication causes… especially when love exists. We certainly haven’t gotten much smarter in our skills of love judging from Jane Austen’s observations of nearly 200 years ago. We just get in our own way… time and time again. That’s what I wanted to write about…and I think it speaks to us all on some level.
A friend of mine posted this video on their facebook. I found it particularly appropriate…

As Benjamin, Dustin Hoffman’s character in The Graduate, floats on a raft alone in the empty pool with sunlight reflecting off the water… “Sounds of Silence”… echoes his twisted relationship and LOVE… Just so perfect, yet imperfect!
