Day , er, uh…? Basically I’m still not finished, okay?
Okay. So, here’s the story….I’m sorta kinda still not finished with my screenplay, but I have a good excuse.
I haven’t worked on it. At all. In like forever.
See, that’s why I’m not finished. But I am feeling motivated. The Bourne Ultimatum kicked some ass when it came out, which confirmed for me that shitty action […]
Day 65: more formatting lessons learned and another milestone
It’s true. I’ve been neglecting my little tripe of a screenplay, or shall I call it my blockbuster in the making? Anyways, it’s been sitting, not getting touched, kind of like the neglected MILF next door or those leftovers in the back of the fridge that have created their own ecosystem. But not to worry, […]
Day 45 - back on the wagon
Yes, that’s right I have made it back onto the wagon, turnip truck, etc. - whatever you call it I am back on it.
More importantly I am up to page 47. I spent the past 30 minutes writing and gained 2 pages. Two pages of glistening beauty. Oh wait, that was that magazine I was […]
Day 43 - falling off the wagon
Falling off the wagon sounds painful. You might be surprised to know that I have indeed fallen off the wagon at this point, having not written anything on the script since last week. So, I can tell you that falling off the wagon does not hurt.
What hurts is planning on hoisting yourself back up onto […]
Day 37 - I’m at the ‘clue to resolution’
Yes, that’s right kiddies, I’ve made it to page 45, where there is supposed to be a clue to the resolution. And by god, there is a clue to the resolution on my page 45.
And here’ s my new thought. I need to write in a cameo for LonelyGirl15. Seems Lonelygirl15 is getting some mad […]
Day 35 - back on track
After looking through my script and fixing my spacing errors in my dialogue, I’m back up to 41 pages. I admit I was hoping that it would be a bigger jump, but apparently I’ll have to actually write dialogue to accomplish that. Can you imagine?
I write better with music on, so I just turned on […]
Day 34 - still not done
Yes, it is true, I am still a slacker. I’ve been doing some reading on my screenwriting books from the library. And I’ve realized something. I’ve made some mistakes in my formatting on my script. This is great news, because when I format it correctly I might end up with a page or two more […]
Day 31 - still not a genius
Okay, okay, I could lie to you, tell you that I pulled an all-nighter and finished the script. Or I could tell you that I called in to work to stay home and finish it. I could tell you those things. But they wouldn’t be true.
The truth is that I haven’t worked on it since […]
Day 30 – D’oh, plagued by forgetfulness
I (stupidly) only have one copy of the Word doc that is my schweet screenplay in the making. I keep it on my 2 gig jump drive so that I can work on it at home or at work. I’m at work now, my jump drive is not. Seems I’ve left it in the computer […]
Procrastination will be my downfall
So, yesterday, day 29…..didn’t do a thing related to the script.
I had a dreadfully long meeting/conference call at work in the a.m. Then in the p.m. I had a meeting about the morning meeting. Say what? I feel like I’m in Office Space, only without the possibility of checking an account balance at the ATM and […]
