Overheard #2

A beautiful Father and Daughter Moment

Overheard #2

SIX YEAR OLD GIRL (solemnly): … alright, I promise not to lie anymore.

HER FATHER (affably): Good, because you don’t want to end up like used car salesmen, lawyers, and other scumbags.

Overheard from the next table over while dining at Charlie’s Trio in South Pasadena, May 24, 2010.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the official web site for writer Michael Patrick Dobkins. You can read more about me on my Bio page, and you can browse my produced writing credits on IMDB.

If you’re looking for Seal Beach posts, you can find posts based on my research into the history of my hometown at the This Date in Seal Beach History blog.

If you’re a writer with a finished screenplay or book that needs work or a second pair of eyes, take a gander at the story consulting and editing services I offer.

I’m also available for professional television and film scriptwriting and development work. You can contact me directly at story@Dobkins.net

Please, serious inquiries related to writing or editorial business or polite comments or questions only. (I suppose frivolous inquiries of a personal or social nature are somewhat welcome, but they better be really silly.)

Any political, religious, or commercial solicitations, harassment and abuse, or any other type of spam will be ignored, blocked and possibly reported. If you’re really beyond the pale, I will place the Irish Curse upon you and your household, an ability passed on to me from my mother’s side of the family. Why take the chance, eh?
