I haven't been writing pages in a while, but I have been "writing." A lot, kind of. I just thought I'd stop in and give a by-project update before going to bed, to remind myself how I really am productive, but I've got so many pots simmering without coming to full boil it sometimes doesn't feel like it. And so, to wit:

• For Ellipsis, the feature ( Read more... )

Mirabel? Mirador? Her name was something like that. She was ridiculous cute, a tiny, tiny thing with short cropped blonde hair and anime-big eyes, working the front desk at the Film Center. I think she may have had some kind of accent -- French or Quebecois, maybe ( Read more... )

I've been thinking, especially in light of the film I just watched.

2005 came and went smooth and easy. The birthday itself, I mean. The year was definitely very up and down, but the birthday itself (and that entry) happened to land in a very brief window of what at the time felt like a very good (intense?) relationship that, let's say, went amicably south. (My god, was that three years ago? It simultaneously ( Read more... )

I write all the time, and I am constantly in the middle of three or four stories, but when they come out at Writing Group, I never feel like they're working, or are handled with the grace or skill of some of the other writers. They are torn apart, and I realize how little some of my ideas work, and I realize one of my weakest spots is telling an ( Read more... )

So I met with Josh and Jeff regarding the Bathwater score, but Josh is burning his candle at a minimum of three ends and wasn't able to push through the night. This means I won't get a score from him until sometime Friday. At that point I'll only have time to drop it in and drop it to tape. Well, that's okay. He and I agreed it's just a temp ( Read more... )

I'm addicted to myself. I got a program (I've been meaning to a for a while, ever since the Russians bought up Livejournal) and I downloaded every single entry I've ever put in here. So they're backed up through tonight, at least. I'm disappointed it doesn't also store/save the comments and threads, but alas ( Read more... )

I have talked to people, and we are producing Open, the script I've been "babying" (as Russ put it) for several months now. The script still has some kinks to work out but it does make sense to let go and push forward with it. Two months is enough time (it will have to be!) to figure out the last couple wrinkles. This will be my biggest ( Read more... )
