Is he writing them in retrospect or what?

I really don't get the feeling that he was writing them during the events that he is talking about. If that even makes sense.

Good Question Tap, I get the feeling he's writing them now, otherwise I don't see why they'd wait so long to post them, I mean they're talking about primary casting now and that had to have happened quite a while ago.

That happened with Jeffry Denman's MY YEAR WITH THE PRODUCERS book. You could tell most of the book was written in the moment, but you could tell the first few entries were written in retrospect. Great book. I really enjoyed it. I'm just commenting that you can tell the difference unless you have a really skilled writer.

I also thought that when I was reading Jeffery Denman's book.

It was really pretty obvious in todays entry when he is talking about Nikki Blonsky. I mean common...

Funny, I had the same thought, but then dismissed it as me just being cynical. Now I'm curious....
