Good News, No News?

I haven't been writing that often. In the past, I would often write about my struggles and obstacles.

But recently, I've become a whole lot more disciplined. In writing as well as everything else. I'm even working out regularly enough to realize how much weight I've been putting on (it's like be a frog in subtly warming water).

My story is going well. I've recently spent more time outling (sp?) than writing, so I forgot how to "listen" to the words I'm typing... but even that was quickly overcome.

The only bad thing I have to write about is my voice. I don't know how it developed, but the actions I write come off light and comical. It's not something I aim for, just how I see a scene and how I write it. Problem is, I'm a big fan of Mammet and Sorkin and their style of serious drama. But I'm just naturally comical. Light, cheery comical. I don't see myself writing a No Country For Old Men anytime soon.

And about this blog: I don't want it to be one of those things I pick up, get really excited about, and then abandon. It most likely has stopped me from becoming that kind of person. But what happens when I make it? Will I just be bitching about executives who forced me to cut stuff, or my work being rewritten? I don't think I can give out advice, at least not to aspiring screenwriters who have run the gunlet of screenwriting books and meathods I have. What will I do with this blog once I become a working screenwriter (besides do a draft or two of a post before I publish it)?

This blog is the closest I've had to a journal since childhood, I think I'll try my best to continue it. It's not popular, neccesary, or a help to anyone other than myself, but it still has some kind of value.


What I really need to do, though, is start posting more stuff on my comedy blog.

Brooding of you,
Mr. Jordan
