Script coverage is a’comin

yes, that is correct. I have the latest script by Team Talent all printed out. I printed it at work before leaving for the holiday break. I am off today, so I have plenty of time to read it. Currently it is still sitting in my backpack. But I have every intention of looking at […]

Team Talent is talking smack, again

Oh, I have not forgotten my little competition with Team Talent. And it appears that team talent is talking some smack. Only one thing needs to be said about this smack talk. In fact, it was already said by team talent. So, I think I will just quote her…
And that, childrens, makes me a cranky […]

still here, still lazy

Well, the weekend is almost over and I have this to report. I am still lazy. I did not work on my script. I did not read Team Talent’s new script. So, I did not do the script coverage for that script.
What have I done?
I’ve been watching Angel, season 4. What can I say? I’m […]

Note to self…

There will be no beating Team Talent if my kickass script does not get finished.
Must. work. on. script.
Must. beat. Team. Talent.
Victory will be mine. I will sell my script before she does. I will laugh about it.  Tripe will trump talent.

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 […]

The dream cast - what helps me write

As I have been writing these 14 pages of my script, I quickly discovered that it was considerably easier to write for the main character, which I had already said was inspired by David Caruso’s hideous acting “ability.” The easy solution to this problem is to think of actors in the other roles.
For the main […]

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 […]

Armed and dangerous

Yes, that’s right. I just made a little trip to the library for some screenwriting books, and now, I’m armed and dangerous.
First up on the reading list, Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need by Blake Snyder. To be followed up with The Screenwriter’s Workbook by Syd Field. And I got […]

scratch that, here’s a better idea

The 11th Annual Hollywood Pitch Fest is sponsored by Fade In magazine. And it occurs in July. July 21-22 to be exact. That gives me an extra month to polish my perfect little screenplay. Of course, this one comes in at $395. Ouch.
We should most definitely do one of these. Then I can have my […]

A pitchfest? This could get interesting

So, I got an email today from the Writer’s Store about the upcoming Great American Pitch Fest. I almost deleted it. Then I thought, this could be an easy way for me to stomp my girlfriend in our competition.
So, I looked at the info. It’s on June 23rd & 24th. And it costs $250. So, […]
