I wonder if this was the article you said "sucked" and that your "editor" would help you with. If so, the suck certainly left the building. As Jo said, you are a wonderful writer. It's tempting to imagine what an HLOTS script penned by you would have read like-- probably would have been quirky, funny, visceral, and extraordinary. Fortunately, we have these little gifts to enjoy. About that undoubtedly extremely upsetting incident with Jeff, and what happened afterwards, I shared some of my thoughts with him about it, as someone thoroughly uninvolved and very much on the outside, which he was so warmly open to receiving. What a kind person. Anyway; I'm so glad you want to remember.
I think it's lovely how you keep the cast alive and right here with us in 2024 by sharing your memories of everyone, especially those in the cast no longer with us. It makes the streaming announcement that much more exciting - even those of is who have watched the show can do so now with new eyes. Speaking of the cast, even though it's smaller than it was, I hope you all will get together before or after Homicide drops on streaming for a panel interview or just for something fun.
I hope it's cathartic as well. I can imagine it's hard, especially remembering Andre - lost too soon and so recently. That said, I think he would have loved all of it - your SubStack, former cast members collaborating and remembering, the Homicide pod, the show finally coming to streaming, all of it! You are a wonderful writer who is so kind to share no book about the show thus far can: what is was really like, on set and off. I still hold out hope you'll write a book about the show, the cast, etc. I'd read it (and gift it!) in a heartbeat!
I think everyone in the cast was extraordinary (writers, crew, producers too!), whether I liked the character or not, so I'm ravenous to read/hear as many stories as you all want to tell.
Those years were some of my hardest (for personal and work things both) and some of my most memorable and enjoyable. And I am glad you and other are shedding new light on something that was so special that I am honored to be a small part of. Thank you Kyle!
An honor for me as well. Enjoyable, tough sometimes, but definitely worthwhile. You were a big part of it. Your amazing energy and even headedness had a big effect on us all.
I felt compelled to further comment on this article. It resonated more with me than any of your other writings have in the past. I truly appreciate your honesty. I think the article is fine if this is the one you were concerned about.
I wanted to comment about your article on your daughter leaving for college. However I deleted it before I did so. So here it goes. I found it to be very paradoxical and very heartwarming and again I appreciate you showing us this side of you.

Thanks Anne! There may be a book at some point, when I have the time and bandwidth. Lots to say in that form.
So great to read this Kyle. You are a wonderful writer
Thanks Jo! Just saw this thread, so I'm a little late. Appreciate your support! Oh, your book! So happy! I'm going to share if I may. lmk.
8 minute standing ovation. If Chuck Berry could write a song about you it'd go something like:
You never ever learned to play guitar so well
But you can write a blog just like a-ringin' a bell
Thanks pal! That means a lot! I'll keep awn ring ding dinging along.

Certainly. It's more interesting that way. Thanks for your shares as well!
