Hey there! Been about a minute eh? I'm back now, so sorry for not posting for so long. The thing is I haven't even been that busy haha. But I did get my first freelance gig recently as a writer for a production company writing essentially a pilot script for them for a dramatic series! Crazy right? Usually I only write comedy and comic scripts so this was a change. This led me to basically start researching and watching new shows near the subject matter that I'm writing which has helped significantly. I'm also enjoying taking a look back at the great Robert Mckee book, "Story". It's truly every screenwriter and writer in generals best friend!
Halfway through the big pilot as well which is great, I'm at Act II which is wonderful and meaty. SO much is happening it's crazy! I try to keep organized and really focus on my climaxes, scene drivers, character values and the charges of a scene in order to really make in general every scene a story event. I'm at the first draft stage which is essentially the rough so lots of just going forward and not so much looking back right now! It's fun working with different subject matter it really steps me outside my own comfort zone which is great for any artist. Currently finished the first issue of the graphic novel I'm writing recently as well which is good news! Just have to type it up and start the art process of it very soon! Times are tough however and I find myself looking for multiple revenue streams out there! I always visit specific search engines for this research like:
www.google.com for all my financial and career and money saving tips and also:
www.yahoo.com for their finance section. Mostly the personal finance section. I have to admit I can't get enough of these sites helpful tips! I do from time to time enjoy
www.lifehacker.com and
www.about.com as well for different needs of mine!
Glad to be blogging again! Till hoepefully soon!
