Blood Is On the Dancefloor

If only I could channel everything into this.

If only I could somehow fill the proverbial empty page, using everything I feel.

If only I could just sit down and turn even the ugliest things into something readable or watchable, or better yet, something beautiful.

I envy those who could. They can put themselves out there, masterfully disguising ( Read more... )

Hi Ate Mia. Your entry made me think about something Ricky Lee said in our scriptwriting class last year. He said "Kill yourself by listening to a good movie, by reading a good book, by falling in love". To this day I haven't been able to apply what he said to my projects since I find it hard to separate myself from what I do but it works for him so it might work for you too. Good luck! :D

That's a great piece of advice. Well, I've done the first several times. If only I could find time for the latter two. Haha!

Hey, what's your YM username? I need to chat with you about something for a project we're doing for film students. Hoping to pick your brain. :)

Pangit is as pangit does.

Sumulat ka lang kahit sa tingin mo pangit. For now, it's the exercise that matters, not the result.

Anyway, you've always had a unique perspective so may partida ka na agad in terms of being a good writer.

Or wait, baka kaya ka nafu-frustrate kasi sa sobrang unique ng perspective mo, akala mo pangit kasi di kamukha nung sa iba? Wala lang. Think about it.

I guess it's hard because I NEED results. It's what I'm paid to get / have.But yeah, maybe I should just relax. You know how agit I get. Hehe.

Thanks Joyce. Plus, it's getting harder to write because of effin' Twitter.

Mia. Nabasa ko 'to sa isang website. Natuwa ako sa kanya. Hindi ko alam kung makakatulong siya sa angst mo. Kung ma-inspire ka, kudos! At the very least, umaasa lang ako na matuwa ka rin.

"Writing is a lot like sex. At first you do it because you like it. Then you find yourself doing it for a few close friends and people you like. But if you're any good at all, you end up doing it with total strangers for money."
