More Script Writing
Today I continued writing my script, and realized the past two times last week that I had worked on it I hadn't got much done. I realized this was because in my mind (as opposed to where else?) I was constantly throwing out lines and ideas before they hit the paper. To me they seemed too 'overdone' or 'cliche' with modern day movies and works for my taste. This whole struggle with the concept of 'original' again. I decided that I am just going to go with where ever the script takes me, sort of like a blog post. Instead of 5 lines which I had accomplished last Wednesday, today I completed a page. I think It is going rather well. I have come to terms with the fact that most of my work doesn't get finished fully or I have to assume a fall back, but I will accept defeat when the time comes, but for now, back to writing!

Well, this is a big lesson and you learned it.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about developing and then sustaining some sort of creative momentum, even if the product at times is strictly junk which simply keeps the momentum going.
It is quite telling that the Beatles, the day they released Sgt Peppers, returned after all the parties to the studios at Abby Road, late at night, and spent a bunch of hours jamming and noodling about.
Anything to keep the momentum
