I can't seem to get it together. I don't know what the problem is, really. I've had a killer headache the last two days - day one a migraine, day two the migraine's horrible clutches, and now, day three, feeling better but slightly headachey. I really don't understand why my immune system hates me so much.
But I've set aside tonight. Today, tonight, all right, all right.
I'll get some writing done, just you see.
I've been toying with the idea of writing a screenplay, even though I know how bad I am about getting excited and starting a bunch of projects at the same time and finishing nothing. So I will just read up about screenplays and jot down my notes, because I don't have a complete idea yet, and I will finish with these goddamn plaguing stories! How can something you love so much feel so much like a burden?
I'm ordering Charles Deemer's book on practical screenwriting this second (the internet is the best multi-tasker tool on the planet. Did I also mention that I am working? At the same time? You can tell what's really getting my full attention.).
I found this great articale, too, about Concious Storytelling.

These may be helpful as well. If any questions pop up, I'd be happy to do what I can to answer them. deemerc@pdx.edu
I think what you'll like about screenwriting is that it is story-driven, not rhetoric-driven like so many other forms of writing.
