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 262

I know I said I was going to work on NaNoWriMo but that fell through rather quickly and to be quite honest, I'm not at all surprised. I got kind of bored with the story that I was working on. Oh well.

The good news is that I came up with an idea for the beginning of a random romcom that I think Cally and I can work on together and really turn into something awesome. We'll just have to wait and see about that.

The thing that's really getting to me is that the best way to write a script that is likely to sell is to do something schmoopy and cliche and I really hate to do that, but you gotta go with what sells in Hollywood.

I mean, of all the romcoms I've seen Katherine Heigl in, there's only one in which she doesn't despise the guy in the beginning of the movie only to end up falling in love with him by the end. It's cliche and over done and ridiculous. I mean, hell. Even George Lucas did it. But, you gotta go with what sells. Hopefully we can find a schmoopy cliche story that I don't feel like a total hooker for writing.

Only time will tell. :-)
