Blah blah blah
I am frikkn exhausted. I don't know what is worse, having creativity flow so well only to end up exhausted from it or it not comming at all and actually having enough energy to get through your day.

I am in the "I hate subtext" mode right now. I am going through this duality where the philosophy of the screenplay sometimes takes over the storyline.

I think I am watching the Matrix too often.

This whole creative momentum I have been having has just been crazy, there have been more pages filled in my notebook in the past week than have been filled in the past four months. It hasn't been anything new but the overall structure has just been piecing itself together naturally. McKee never gave any warning about this lol.

I have to say though that Linda Cowgill has done an amazing job with "Secrets of Screenplay Structure" I am not sure if they are secrets revealed but she has some great observations. I have read the book before but not as I actually have been working specifically on key aspects in the structure of my screenplay while I was using the cue card method. It has been a great combo thus far.

I just read Harry's Revolutions review from AICN and I could put down about a thousand words as to what I think but I am going to bit my tongue until Wednesday night after I have seen the movie. Then we'll let the fingers run a muck on the keyboard.

I think WB and the other studios should simply round up all of the talkback guys, pay them a million each and have them crit every movie they make before it makes it to theatres...mind you that would mean only 1/5 of them would make it but at times I think this would be for the best.

I couldn't imagine what would be said about what I am working on right now. I can't even imagine what I am working on right now lol.

Christmas is the first chapter structural deadline, wordy I know, but necessary. I have to finally put the outline to bed and get cracking on a new draft or the dust is going to get too thick.

I have my eyes on a few new guys at conceptart.org and I really should put the whole previs idea behind me but when you work visually it is so hard to do, I wish I could find the time to draw because I really do miss it but that piece of the temporal pie had been put on the writing plate, much as everything else.

Blah.
