In search of a title (plus other stuff)
Managed to write a few more pages today. If I manage to keep this pace up I really should have this screenplay done in a couple months. Then it’s just getting financing to get it made, which, as I have said before IS THE EASIEST PART (see two or three posts ago).
Just kidding, I will probably have to go through one or two or a million new drafts and THEN the money will roll right in.

WatchI’ve had this Moleskine for six years now. I think I’ll finally fill it up in 2012.
I have all kinds of things on it. I don’t know, I just thought someone might find this interesting to look at.

Another passage from "It Chooses You"
“Around this time it was kindly suggested to me that what I really needed was not a two-hundredth draft of The Future, but a movie star in a lead role to reassure potential investors. This was troubling because I already had people in mind for Jason and Marshall, the man my character has an affair with. They were incredible actors who had had small parts in big movies and big parts in movies...

“Movies are the only thing I make that puts me at the mercy of financiers, which is partly why I make other things too. Writing is free, and I can rehearse a performance in my living room; ir may turn out that no one wants to publish the book or present the performance, but at least I’m not waiting for permission to make the thing. Having a screenplay and no money to make it would be...

More pages!
Almost three yesterday, two and a half today. And so far I like them all. I really like this method, I spend the whole day thinking about the next two pages and when I sit down to write, it’s all there! Maybe slow and steady does win the race.

Two pages
I managed to write exactly two pages yesterday, which is my daily goal.
So far, so good.

Sciences of Foreign Past →
This morning, Sean Moore, who composed the score for my film, shared this little gem on his Facebook page. It’s a track he recorded in 2007, which was previously unknown to me. It’s part of an album done entirely in lo-fi, which always interests me. The track is very different from the work he did for David Brachman or most of his other works I know; I found it to be truly beautiful,...

Writing
After watching the excellent PBS documentary on Woody Allen (seriously, if you haven’t seen it yet, go look for it) I felt inspired to start writing more. Woody puts out a movie a year, which means he has to write them all very quickly. His sister talked about how as soon as he is done with one movie he’s already writing the next one, and how that helps him to keep going instead of...
