Right around that time I moved to LA in the mid-1980’s an upstart computer store opened with a crazy idea: cater just to the film and television community. I gave it six months to a year before it folded in the shadow of Computerland. Well, Computerland is gone, but THE WRITERS STORE is still there, and over the years Jesse Douma and his family developed their store into a mecca of merchandise and advice for writers, producers, and directors.
As Contour for Windows 1.0 joins Contour for Mac 1.1 in release, I just wanted to thank Jesse and the gang at The Writers Store for their support of Contour in general and me in particular. Jesse will be the first to tell you that I can be a huge pain in the backside when it comes to being passionate about what I do, but (I hope!) he’d also be the first to tell you that my heart’s in the right place in my concern for writers.
Anyway, kudos to you, my TWS friends. Your store is a class act and greatly appreciated.
