Yes, the RDJ does stand for Robert Downey Jr. Now I know what you're thinking. Everybody and their cousin's hamster has a blog. In this day and age it's not exactly new and exciting. But this is a sort of special blog for my friend Cally and me. We're going to be using this blog to chronicle our progress in an attempt to write a script (or two) specifically designed to involve the gorgeous and talented Robert Downey Jr. Maybe he'll be in it, maybe he'll produce it, maybe he'll direct it, that doesn't matter to us. As long as he's a part of it in some way or another. Whether they get made into movies or not remains to be seen. The first, most important step is actually finishing the script and sending it off. All we can do is put our minds together, shake them up a bit and see if anything usable is concocted. Only time will tell.

Day 213

So I’ve decided to go back to working on the rom/com and see what I can come up with.  I think I have a good idea of what I want to do but I’m not 100% certain.  I know that I can work with something, though.  I’ve already gotten a little bit started and hopefully I can go from there. 

My fingers are seriously itching to write something and it’s frustrating me that my brain is not cooperating with them.  I’ve been trying to come up with an idea for a book because I can write a lot more that way then I can while working on a screenplay but you have to go with the muses.

I seriously think my muses hate me right now because they are not giving me what I need.  Ugh.  Hopefully things will work out better soon.  Here we were hoping to be completely done with one script by now and we haven’t even been able to come up with a whole one.  Everything changed from my original idea and now I can’t get it working at all.  I can’t even get it back into book form.  I hate that I lost the transcript that I had originally.  It’d be really nice if NaNoWriMo would keep track of those things for you but they only keep track of them for one month and then as soon as it’s over, the stuff is gone.  Other wise I would have a copy of the original book that I started writing. 

It’s all just really frustrating is what it comes down to.  I hate it when I write and write and write and come up with like 20,000 words worth of material and then it all just disappears in the process of changing computers. 

And once again I have gotten away from the original topic of this blog.  The whole point of this is to write about the process of writing a script for Robert Downey Jr and all I’ve managed to do is complain about things that have nothing to do with that.  I would like to say that it will never happen again but that, unfortunately, is something that I just can not promise.  A lot of the stuff going on in my head that has nothing to do with Robert is part of the problem in getting the script out in the first place. 

All I can do is keep trying and hope that whatever I end up with isn’t complete and utter shit.  The finish product is supposed to be something that people actually want to make into a movie and I’m really afraid that it’s going to have to be schmoopy and cliché in order for that to happen.  Maybe sending it to Robert would be a good idea because he’d be happy to produce/direct/star in a movie that isn’t completely cliché and schmoopy.  Gotta have a finished product before I can send it to him, though.  So I just have to keep working and see what happens.

Man this is a long one.  I wasn’t expecting to have this much to say but apparently I do.  And now that it’s a little after 1am here in the lovely state of Texas, I need to get some sleep before I have to deal with the manger that I like the least.
