Still writing after all these years

31 July 2005
Inspired by the recent production of one of my short films, I am now writing again. I'm currently working on another feature. I've no idea why, as my other features are just gathering dust (or viruses, perhaps) on my computer.
I finished another short film script ealier this week and have sent it off to the producer/director who did the last one. My e-mail was very non-assertive, in case he thought I was being a bit pushy. He'd be quite wrong to think that, of course. I left it a whole 2 days after the shooting finished before contacting him. I was just trying to save him the effort of advertising for excellent new scripts when I could provide an almost excellent one without any effort on his part.
The thing I like about shorts is that you can churn them out within a few days. Features take so much planning and thought. The more experienced you get, the more nightmarish it becomes, as you have to consider more and more aspects. If I wasn't being forced to write them by the creative dictator within, I would probably take up skydiving for some peace and quiet.
If you haven't been following this blog, you won't know that I've been featuring Blair and Bush's (fictitious) off the cuff speeches. Bush this time.
"Oh, ah, thank you. It gives me great pleasure, as a humble Texican, to officially open this mouth today. This, this, mall today. Shopping mall today. And tomorrow. I guess, it will always be a shopping mall. At least while I'm still in power. After that, who knows. Can't trust the other folks, you see, the democratics. I believe this great nation would not be where I am today without shopping mouths like this. You see, it's families. Oh yes, without children, there'd soon be no-one around. Just people growing old and dying. That's why this mall is so importinant. Thank you. Plenty good. Plenty."
There endeth this blog. Stay tuned!
