day 17 - introducing the reduced content version!
On the agenda today - more draft writing. What’s been done so far today? Nada. I did think about opening up the script though. But I didn’t. Yet. The day is still young, friends. As opposed to ‘young friends’….see how helpful commas are. Now, tell me you don’t think I can write a kickass script, […]
Day 16 - still in the first draft stage
So, according to the schedule I am supposed to have spent the day writing more of the “fast random draft” that is to become my kickass script. Well, I’m holding strong at the 4 pages I had yesterday. So, fast I am not. But I’m working during the day. A real job. In accounting. And […]
A day of rest it is not!
Wait, what’s that sound? Oh yes, it’s just me kicking ass. According to the schedule I should be resting with some booze today, but instead I’ve been writing the script. That’s right. I have begun to tackle the actual writing of the 120 pages of pure genius. Of course, this is just for the draft.
As […]
day 14 = more writing of the draft
Today marks day 14, which is more writing of the draft. If writing of the draft means watching the Miss Universe hottie show, then mission accomplished. Hooray for Miss Brazil! But here’s what I’m thinking….where is the make-out competition in the show?
We have the swimsuit competition and the evening gown competition and then the question/answer […]
Day 12 & Day 13 - writing the draft
Today is day 13, which of course means that yesterday was day 12 for those of you that have problems counting backwards, which is nothing like walking or even driving backwards. Speaking of driving, I have problems parallel parking and backing up in a straight line. I think it must be physically impossible to get […]
The working title
Now, the Save the Cat book told me that in order to write a kickass screenplay that sells to Hollywood, first I need a logline and then a title. I think that might be the shittiest idea I’ve ever heard. No, wait….yes….no….Actually, I’m certain that it IS the shittiest idea ever.
Now, according to How to […]
The “still lazy” edition
Yesterday was day 10, day 11, card #9. Did I do it? No. But I have a good reason. When I did those 30 or so note cards, I ended up with card #9 as the last one that I did. So, technically I did do card #9…
Card #9 is supposed to have ‘the outcome’ of […]
Day 9, card 8
Card #8 is supposed to match page 90 of the script. According to the writing a crappy moving in 21 days book, around page 90 is when an event occurs that ‘educates’ the hero that he is going to be getting something more or different than what he set out to get. This is supposed […]
What you’ve heard is true, I AM a genius
It’s the bottom of the 9th, bases are loaded, and I’m at bat - 2 strikes, 3 balls….what’s going to happen? This is how it was looking for me yesterday. So what is going to happen? I’ll tell you what, I’m hitting that damn ball outta the park, that’s what.
I have an idea. A complete […]
Day 8 - Card #7, subtitled “irony”
So, today is Day 8, which means time for card #7. But I don’t have time for card #7 cause I’m still trying to come up with a freaking idea here! And I’m trying to bust my way through these screenwriting books and none of these idiots know their ass from a hole in the […]
