What's What and What to Do About It: Answers You Didn't Know You Wanted to Questions You Didn't Know You Had - Hardcover
Synopsis
Dear Anonymous, Unless you're born and then die real quick, you will live to do what you think are horrible things. May I take me, for instance? Here I am taking my brother's bunny out of the cage and I'm throwing him up and I'm letting him land on the floor. Over and over. It couldn't move its hind legs after that. A few days later my father poured some chloroform on to a rag and put the rag and the bunny into a shoe box and held it tight until everything stopped moving... In my opinion we all have a Treasure Box in our heads. It's where we store our essence: The greatest of our great pleasures, our proud moments, and great sorrows. So why not place into that same Treasure Box the most horrible of our horrors? Anonymous, answer honestly: which has done a better job of sharpening your focus - the good things you've done, or the bad things? And so, Anonymous, that horrible thing you did that broke no laws and hurt no one but yourself? Toss it in your Treasure Box and move on. Your fan, Waldo Mellon'

About the Author
Waldo Mellon has written for television and film for the last forty years from his home base outside Amherst, MA. Three of his screenplays were made into the movies Envy, Waiting for Forever, and No Stranger than Love--three screenplays I'm proud of, though not the movies that were made from them. What's What and What to Do about It is his first book. He is currently working on a sequel: What's Death and What to Do about It, and reports being excited to see how that one comes out.
