February 10, 2021 Street Writers - TMOC
TMOC: The myth of confidence. Mark wonders if writers need to have confidence in their writing — he certainly doesn’t, and he knows so many other writers who struggle with confidence as well. Maybe all the confidence you need is that you’ll write something, no matter what. Dan then reads from a meaner, scarier series of Hulk comics from Al Ewing. And Mark discusses his film Venmo Muscle, which is selected for the Manhattan Stories Film Festival. And Dan touches on being the audio book voice for a new book on gaming by our friend and podcast guest, Evan Skolnick.

January 20, 2021 Street Writers - I’m a Fraud
Well, it’s about time. Mark finally admits that he’s a fraud. His writing sucks, his plays are garbage (even the published ones), and how any of his films get into festivals is a joke. Imposter syndrome? Oh yeah, it’s real for Mark. So he shares a tip on how to keep plowing ahead even if you sometimes feel like a fraud. Dan then reads from a beautiful essay from David Foster Wallace. And Mark discusses serializing his latest work, All Strung Up.

January 13, 2021 Street Writers - Cornertalk
No matter when this runs, it includes a 2021 greeting and (technically) our first “Take A Swing At This” of the new year: inspired by Lucian James’ (www.lucianjames.com) newsletter, Dan’s shouting at himself in the mirror, creating the Street Writers’ version of “cornertalk” — the boxer’s motivating words, transferred to the writing ring. “They Beat Us To The Punch” features Mark’s jealousy for a NY Times piece on “Eight Things Hated About NY (Until 2020 Happened) (“https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/25/nyregion/coronavirus-newyorkers-coping.html). And “Hit Us With Your Best Shot” is two quick jabs/updates on Dan’s comic book project, and Mark’s latest Grease, Grit & Crime in COVID Time — a throwback to a Twitter of a simpler time, “Throwing Twit.”
