Empty Theatre Seats: March 2014
http://williambyronhillman.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
From the Second Floor #12. Monday, March 3, 2014. When I was young I thought the only important thing in life was to get out of school. To be 16 so I could drive. To be 21 so I could drink and party. I did not have a care in the world. When I ventured into the business world I wanted to win, accomplish, and reach a goal. I wanted to dream and make things happen. To get there, I was always in a hurry. 1) The Grand Canyon. 2) The Pyramids in Egypt. 3) The Great Wall of China. 4) The Taj Mahal in India.

Empty Theatre Seats: September 2014

From the Second Floor #12. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. 5 FROM THE SECOND FLOOR. MY WRITER TOOL BAG. There isn’t a day goes by I don’t learn something new. So, for those of you of think you know everything – you don’t. That said, I discovered a few tools lately, and they were right in front of me for a long time. I just didn’t look. We all know writers are stubborn by nature. We like to do things our way and only look for help as a last resort. Along the way, my agent kept telling me to write a novel or t...

Empty Theatre Seats: June 2013
http://williambyronhillman.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
From the Second Floor #12. Monday, June 3, 2013. I DON’T REMEMBER. We all hear this said by friends, mates, co-workers, politicians, and others we look up to and admire. The only problem is, they do remember yet chose to say they don’t. Now I know this is different from I do remember, or, oh yeah I remember that, but when someone says “I don’t remember” and it’s of concern – something is amiss. A husband or wife can’t get away with “I don’t remember.” Forget what the issue is,...All this brings me to the...

From the Second Floor #12. Friday, June 27, 2014. FROM THE SECOND FLOOR #2. FROM THE SECOND FLOOR #2. It’s in the news. Ah, but what is important? Sadly what is important to us is now a mixed bag. I thought this was behind us. I thought, perhaps wishful thinking on my behalf, but still I wished and thought we were on the road of recovery. We were about to find a way finally to get along. I was wrong. In short, the story may go as far as to say someone owes you. Another "News" source believes all of w...

Empty Theatre Seats: August 2013
http://williambyronhillman.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
From the Second Floor #12. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. WILT CHAMBERLAIN and ME. WILT CHAMBERLAIN and ME. On my tenth birthday, I stood five feet two inches. I was short, and some called me a runt. Over the summer, I began to sprout. I grew out of everything so fast my parents thought I might be an anomaly. I was taken to several doctors, but they found nothing wrong. For over a year, I tried to be shorter. I bent over, walked weirdly and tried to be small and unnoticed. Nothing worked. 8221; I’ll n...

Empty Theatre Seats: October 2014
http://williambyronhillman.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
From the Second Floor #12. Monday, October 20, 2014. FROM THE SECOND FLOOR #6. I have always been a firm believer in helping others achieve their goal. Amazing things happen when you pay forward and assist others travelling along the same road you are on. When I was, younger I thought there was no way to help others when you are struggling to reach the same goal. There wasn’t time to help someone else. When I started writing novels, I decided to help others whenever I could, and it has paid off in spades.

Empty Theatre Seats: July 2014
http://williambyronhillman.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
From the Second Floor #12. Sunday, July 13, 2014. FROM THE SECOND FLOOR #3. FROM THE SECOND FLOOR #3. Things look different from the Second Floor. I thought, “What the heck is that all about? 8221; If a doctor prescribes a particular drug shouldn’t it be covered or at least partially covered? Just thinking about it made me mad. The entire situation got me into a thinking mode, and it’s scary when I go too deep with these thoughts. That said, better look around our own country might in the long run be a g...

Empty Theatre Seats: November 2013
http://williambyronhillman.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
From the Second Floor #12. Monday, November 11, 2013. DON'T ASK DON'T TELL. DON’T ASK DON’T TELL. To many this has only one meaning but to me it has broad and eventful consequences. So many of us forget to ask, afraid of what we might hear and of course we never tell for fear of ridicule. When was the last time you asked your wife, child, neighbor, friend or co-worker how they were and really meant it? No, that’s the answer. No, the answer is probably not. Co-workers are people who fulfill duties, come a...

From the Second Floor #12. Monday, June 15, 2015. FROM THE SECOND FLOOR #9. Most actors need to have a backup plan and a way to make a living just in case the career takes a bounce or two. In my case, I started as a writer. I dabbled, scribbled short stories, wrote three novels and then turned to screenwriting in-between acting gigs. We started on film and graduated into video. Each step had a new learning curve. Special effects were crude and in many productions we did the unusual instantly by i...Movie...
