Tales From the Script

Just saw a good little documentary called Tales From the Script.  It has all these well known, and not so known screenwriters talking about their experience writing, trying to write, and how to deal with Hollywood in general.

It's got me in a good funk...I want to write I'm ready to go. That movie was as much or even more honest than the writing lessons I had in school.  It doesn't matter if what I write is crap right now, I'm just gonna keep on chugging.  It's what I like to do, it's what I would ideally want to do the rest of my life.  It's not a full-time gig for me right now, but Lord willing it will be one day soon.  I know to expect failure, and that nothing I write will be perfect.  I just gotta keep on working to make it good.  

On the plate:
Finishing outline for first draft of Lake Success.  Got some work done on that today, and hopefully I'll have the outline done by next week and can finally finish the first draft shortly after.

Wanna start plotting out a story about the Philadelphia Flower Show...got some ideas, but nothing's really clicked yet.  This one might be a play.

Also I have some cool ideas for a re-make of Cagney's Public Enemy.  Michael Mann already kinda fucked me on the title for it but I'd just love to write it for the hell of it.
