Life gets in the way!

As usual, I want to start writing and my life becomes hectic, (as well as a drain on my creativity).

The good news is this script is taking the same format as the last. I think about the story alot and then BAM, out of nowhere the script gets written in one night.

Let's …

Going back to my roots for inspiration.

On the Easter weekend I watched "Halloween Resurrection". My wife was quick to point out the irony AFTER the event. What can I say, we live in a Buddhist country. I had forgotten about Easter completely.

Anyways, we watched it with the "Director's commentary" track on.

It …

Setting a goal.

I rarely write if I am not feeling inspired. That has been alot lately.

I need to change this.

I really dig the "Creative Screenwriting Magazine" interviews with Jeff Goldsmith and while I am a bit behind in listening to the interviews, they remain quite useful. I save …

Testing out Flock

Flock is actually a pretty useful browser once you get the hang of it. I am still working out some bugs, like where this entry will be posted to, but all in all, it's ok in my books.

Writing a Comedy

I am finding it difficult to write a comedy. I feel like it goes on and on with no jokes. Then at other times, I feel like the jokes are overkill.

I think the best thing I can do is write the structure of the story, then collaborate with someone on getting the right …

New Link going up

Virb is a cool site that allows music, pictures, and widescreen video as well as a blog. Cool place to network other artists.

Virb.com now on the link list.

10,000 BC

I thought I would put down some of my thoughts about the movies I see.

For 10000BC, I was quite impressed with the effects, but like alot of movies lately, it was rather underwhelming. I felt like the story was quite limited. The script struggled and the half russian …

Pownce

Would love to see some filmmakers on Pownce.

It's micro-blogging with file sharing and event stuff.

I have some cool files I would love to share, and I think it would be great as a script sharing site as well. I cannot tell you the number of times I have tried to …

Comedy concept

I am working on a new script. Let's call it "Throwing Scissors", as a working title.

Being a comedy, I find it difficult to be in the right mood to write. So what I have decided to do is just write the story out as completely as possible, and go back and add the jokes in …

Probably my most used site!

I heard alot of people, (including someone I would call my mentor), say that writing is the loneliest job in the world.

I think to an extent it is true that you are usually not better off showing family/friends your unfinished work, but I certainly don't think writing is …

Spoof Film

Ok, ok, ok. I know you are supposed to rewrite, and tweak and shit like that, but to be brutally honest, I just don't wanna.

So here's the deal. I am gunna write a spoof. A comedy. I have the storyline roughed out in my head. I may start the outline tomorrow.

I am going …

Triggerstreet

I really do love the site www.triggerstreet.com as far as screenwriting feedback goes. The problem is though, in order to get someone to slog through your crappy first feature, you have to earn credits by reading other crappy first features, and some of them make it …
