Is It Wrong...

That I haven't even finished my screenplay, and I have a sequel in mind.  LOL   A deliciously twisted, bastardly story.   What can I say, I don't want to repeat myself, and at the same time I can expand on the characters.  Doing more research and writing.  I still have a lot of work to do.   Must get hopping, but the same time i don't want to overwork the script.    May stay up late tonight.  

The Gentleman Has Arrived

Forming some plans.  Clearing the path.  About to make my moves.   I feel like a star shining so brightly.  I need to get things done, and I feel that I have a clear direction.    Don't underestimate me.  It may not be right on the firsth shot, but I keep getting better with time.   You don't know me yet, but I know that intend on getting things done, and not worrying over what could be.    

A Bottle of Water Per Day...

I notice that I have ideas pour into my head after I drink a full 24 oz of water, or 48 oz. I must be pushing all the sugar and caffeine outta my system, and it permits me to think more freely. I must keep this up if I am to maintain a high amount of writing time. I want to win, with the best performance I can give my craft. If water gives me the edge (maybe it doesn't do a damn thing at all), I'll keep it up.

The Near Mistake

Again I ignore my instincts, and did not act upon an idea I had.  I need to give a couple of characters some vices, or something to do.  Otherwise they are a bit of a a blah to write.   I don't know what, but they need something ASAP, and I am glad I am thinking about this now, because I have a moment or two to not have to regret not following up on my own insticts.  If anything, having faith in my ideas will enhance my writing.   Even if it's wrong it can be romed later, right?    

What is Cinema Studies?

For me and my Masters of Atrs (MA) degree, it's the study of film history, trends, and theories.   I also intend on having a concertration in screenwriting.   Why you may ask?  I love writing screenplays for film and television, so I want to have the film background while obtaining the crucial scripting skills.   One of my goals is to be a FT screenwriter in film and televison. 

Things I Do...

Had a bit of a brain freeze when it came to the screenplay.  Spent minimal time writing it over the weekend.   I did do some research, and feel bound to do more writing, but I do need to complete the reseach, which will help me further down the line.

Had the idea for another story.  Almost let the idea pass, but forced myself to write it down.  Began putting together plot points, and the story grew from there.   It's still raw, but that's where it needs to be.  

Just Do It!

Studying some of my old writing.  Noticed the looser I am in writing, the better I see necessary story elements.  I'm not thinking about it, I'm simply doing things.   I'm finding the conflicts, character and stakes in aborted stories.  So I need to remind myself constantly to not overthink and write my scenes.  Do not freak out, just do it!  

Writing is Rewriting

Manged to revise some of the pages I wrote.  I need to pull out the beat sheet so that I adhere to any new scenes.  Been worried that I'm overwriting.   Also I am having an issue with trying to say what type of body language to describe the characters with.  Getting a little fruestrated, but this is the first draft.  I reccomend more work on top of work.  Writing is rewriting. 

Things Not to Do

I am here to help and serve, and would appreciate it if people stopped to consider some things: 

Do not adjust yourself on the way to the desk:  We can see you.  The bathroom is not that far away, and we don't want to run for the hand sanitizer for every other person.

Speaking of bathrooms, please wash your hands after using it.   'Nuff said.   

Likewise do not pull your undies out of your crack.  We can see that too.   

Speaking of crack issues, please cover up your ass crack when bending over.  I'm sure it's drafty, and  who want's a cold back there?   A runny noes is difficult as it is.

Cover your mouth when you cough.    Do we really need to get you some tissues?  Seriously. 

If you have a nasty cough, stay home.  No one likes a germ spreader.   We can't make you take Robotussin, but if I could, I would.

When you ask a question, please try to get it one sentence.   It is not fair to stretch out simple words into five-six sentences, and you still have said nothing. 

Customer care begins with you.  Setting the tome is the best way to get favorable results.  I'm surprised by those who don't know this fact.

Customer care and service doesn't not mean "customer personal servant."

More Scribbling

So I’m writing, and it occurs to me that I am writing something that is more realistic, and not based on science fiction.  I’ve written many short stories that dealt with people and no sci-fi or fantasy elements in the past, so it’s not unfamiliar territory.  This time I am writing a comedy where I’ve given some characters some life, and it’s exciting to behold.  I’m inspired to write more.    

Waiting...

Just waiting for my mojo to jum up and take over.  I need to get some writing done, and this post is my warm-up exercise today.   Outside is not as cold as I thought.  Was going to cook, but decided to have take out today.  I don't feel like cooking.  I feel like relaxing a little and hoping to enjoy a movie or two.  I could use a glass of sweet tea with lemon.   I should have made pancakes for breakfast.   

More Scribbling, Another Issue

Trying to write more.  Feeling a bit intimidated by the scene and the characters.  In reality I am pussyfutting around the scene.  I'm not giving it my all.  I feel defeated, weak, and a little stupid.  First of all, I CAN write, so the fact that I am being such a baby about this annoys me.  Why am I trying  to fail myself?  Gonna take a litle break from it, and I do mean little.  I just may need to step back, but this hafl-stepping insults my intellegence.  

Hungry

It looks like its going to storm cats and dogs outside, and I am a little worried about that.   I forgot my slice of pecan pie when I left home.   I wants it.  LOL.  Been scribbling, which is not new.  About to get some grub and chow down.  Can I haz meal.  I want a chicken salad sandwhich.  lets hope its not as dry as they like to make it.  

And Now, Act II

I feel real happy about now.  I am ready to move onto Act II of my screenplay.  It's been a little rough for me, but during my break I was able to add a page or two to the script.  Even managed to backup my file (which you should ALWAYS do).  I slacked off a couple of times, but I got back on top of things.  

Scribbling

I had a good day last night as I tuned out of the internet and worked on my screnplay.  I was able to revise and add a few pages.   I love the fact that i was able to push forward because for a brife moment, I felt stuck.  Stuck is bad.  I could not reach a decision.  I made myself revise a couple of the pages.  I still question a couple of moments in the script but they had to be written in order for me to get past the rough spot.  

Pastels and Hulk

Played with the pastels while watching the Incredible Hulk film last night. It's pays a lot of homage to the TV show, and does not really tie into the first movie. I don't know if I like what I did with the drawings. Both images are unfinished. I shall post them when I'm done. The portait stares at me. LOL I feel compelled to work on it tonight.

Pastel Attack/Busy Weekend

I think I'll draw something this weekend. Something simple and off the cuff. I got some colored paper, and the pastels have been begging to be released. Yes, the free time has come upon me. Mind you, I have some more scripting to do. Also I came up with a new idea I quickly wrote down, and I want to make sure to develop it.

Nacho Disaster

Hello.  I wanted nachos last night, and now I had to PAY the price for my desire.   Something didn't agree with me last night, and while doubled over in pain, I found myself cursing the fact that I ate nachos.   Needless to say the nachos waged war on my poor tummy, and I felt miserable for the rest of the night.    It's all I will say about it.   All I will say.  Damn it!  

Inspired

I felt like writing more of my screenplay, so I did.  Don't want to think too deep on it.   Gotta let the ideas flow.  I hope to keep this up for the rest of the month.   I like that i was able to move past where I was, and able to make some connections.

Been obcessed with Avatar: The Last Airbender.  I looked at the material with keen eyes, and re-watched episodes.  I really want book 3 on DVD.   I'm gonna get it.   Rarely do i see writers who can blend drama and humor and reatin both elements without compromisng the other.  For example, when Toph teaches Aang Earthbending, and she breaks the rock with her head.   The look on Katara and Aang's faces is priceless.   Still Toph made her point about facing doen a rock.  The sister is bad!   

On Demand!

It's a slow night and its almost time for Law & Order, which I may not watch anyways.  They should have it on On Demand.  Have I mentioned that's one thing I LOVE about Comcast?  Hardly any NBC shows are on On Demand.  I guess I'll have to use Fancast or Hulu, but when I'm home I don't mind watching the TV.   Sometimes watching tv on the puter can be cumbersome.    Maybe I should rent a movie.  Something to pass the time.  

My New Year's Ambitions

I need to write something.  I'm feeling lame in the blogging department.  I have two new classes for the quarter.  The first is Scripting for Comics, the other is Research & Methodologies for Cinema Studies.   I'm gonna be busy, but I have to double my efforts becaues I ambitiously want A's for both classes.   I can live with B's, but it'd be nice to go higher than where I usualy am.  I wonder if I can hit a 4.0 GPA.  A bother can be ambitious, you know.    

Because I live for silliness.

Superheroes and their costumes.
