I'm realistic about my screenwriting career. There's a good chance that five years from now, I'll have sold a couple scripts, had nothing go into production, and am finding difficulty making ends meet. What to do, what to do? I know! I'll write a book about screenwriting!
Gee, nobody ever came up with that solution before.
But who the hell wants to sit down and write an f-ing book? Wouldn't that time be better spent churning out more screenplays? After all, a book is several hundred text-filled pages. A screenplay? 20,000 words, max!
The solution is simple. I will fill up a blog with my views on screenwriting and, when I get desperate, I will transfer it all to book form. In, out, 90 seconds door-to-door!
And here I am. Adding my mental spew to the vast world of bandwidth. I have created a page that I will not advertise and I seriously doubt anyone will ever read. But it is mine. A place to store ideas. A place to waste time when I should be working on a script.
Pithy, this shall not be.
