Day 176

So we're still kind of stuck on the scripts and I think it's because there's a general sense of ucky going on between both of us. I'm going to have to find a second job to get my bills paid and that's going to eat up even more of the little time I have at the moment to be creative. I have a couple of ideas, though. Something I might just run with. Although it's more of a book idea than a script idea, but books can be turned into scripts, right?

Hopefully one of these projects will take off. Only time will tell.

Day 154

It really discourages me when I see stuff like the guy that got the book deal and TV show deal for Shit My Dad Says. Especially since it started as a twitter account and it's not even anything HE came up with. It's his dad doing all the work but HE'S making money off of it. What the hell? Why can't that ever happen to me?

Anyway. This post is about the scripts. It really is. There's still no progress and any future progress is going to be VERY slow because my parents are being douchebags and not handling their own finances which is requiring me to get a second job.

It'd be great if we could get one script finished and get it sold because then maybe I would be able to afford to get away from all of this bullshit. But, as I said I would say many times, we'll just have to wait and see.

Day 151

Still no progress on the scripts. Cally and I both seem to be stuck. I'd really like to get these done before next year because I totally plan on going to Comic Con next year and it would be awesome if I could find some way to get the script or scripts to Robert.


And now I've been distracted by a fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie so I'm going to go enjoy that.

Day 129

As you can probably guess we've kind of stalled out on all of the scripts. Everything that's been going on lately has given us very little time, or creativity, to work on anything. We're trying, though. That's for sure. Hopefully we're going to have something up and ready to go soon. Only time will tell.

Day 85

So we got the script started. That's good. I wrote a little bit of it. Maybe 2 pages. But I think it's good so far. I've been watching Soapdish the last couple of days. Working on the 4th time watching it to be honest. I forgot how great this movie really is. It's great in that horrible soap opera way. And Mr Robert Downey Jr is so awesome and hilarious in this movie. The cast is fantastic. And getting to see a lot of quirky, adorable Robert inspired the bit of script that I did write. :-)

Day 79

So we're getting the first Rom/Com script under way. We gotta get a time line and figure out what can be played out and what needs to be glanced over but I think it'll be good. And once we get this one figured out and fine tuned, then we can start on the next one.

There are some things that we have to do a "see what's available" before we can decide on what it should be. Which songs we can use in the movie, whether or not we can get hold of a certain car, that kind of thing. I think it'll work out, though. Even if we can't get the car we want, we can work with whatever we can get.

We're also planning on Indio playing a younger version of the character meant for Robert. And a little joke about the fact that Indio is so much taller than Robert. It should be funny. At least to us it is.

Day 76 Part 2

So we've decided we're going to end up with three Rom/Com scripts. One is going to be a modernization of the movie A Philadelphia Story. I have to rewatch it and Cally's never seen it so that one's going to have to sit on the back burner for the time being. That's a movie that I would really like to modernize though. Although I doubt there will ever be a cast as brilliant as Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart. I love that movie, really.

I'm not sure if the Philadelphia Story modernization is going to be for Robert but I want to do it anyway. We've got two other Rom/Com ideas for Mr Downey Jr. I think they'll be good.
