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 244

Still absolutely no significant contributions to the scripts.  I think it’s safe to say that it’s going to be a while before anything happens with them.  Especially since work is kind of stressing me out and I am getting rare moments of creativity.  There’s also the fact that I’m not very good at writing scripts.  I’m much better at writing stories.  Maybe I should try doing that and see if it can be translated into a script.  I don’t know. 

I signed up to do NaNoWriMo this year but I’ve already managed to fail at that, even with just editing and adding to an existing story that I had written a few years ago.  I only needed to added about 15,000 words to an existing story and I can’t seem to get that done because inspiration has left me. 

I really need to win the lottery because then I can devote my time to writing instead of working and trying to make enough money to get my bills paid.  Unfortunately that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon. 

As the great, and fictional, Professor Charles Eppes once said, if you buy 20 lottery tickets a week then you’ll actually hit the jackpot once every 40,000 years.  And, of course, with my luck that jackpot winning hit would occur after my death.

I’m at a catch 22.  I need to write the script so that I can sell it and get money so I don’t have to work but I need money so I can spend my time writing the script instead of working.  It all comes down to the fact that I don’t have enough money to make lots of money. 

That really sucks.
