Re-establishing Myself

You now what I realize? I'm a VERY laid back person. Someone's going to need to kick my ass into shape one day.

I started my script and twenty-five pages in, I realize that I truly do need to outline. There's no other way around it, as a writer you really do need to know how the story will end and what the journey that you want to explore is. Why an outline is important isn't to know exactly what actions to take, but the reason behind why the action taken is important. It goes under the entire idea of theme and the emotional journey rather than the physical external one. So again, back to the drawing board (big surprise...).

So I'm going back towards what I want to do in this blog: script reviews for myself, once in a while a movie review. I'm going to do one a week at least and I'll just have to force myself to find time to balance between dicking around on the internet and doing more serious things like writing my script or reading and reviewing others. No ifs, ands, or buts. I got way too much time on my hands to not not do anything with my blog.

I'll start typing up more reviews soon, and hopefully, I'll get to read more scripts in the process. So look out for my LOOONG overdue review of The Road.
