The Glassblower's Cat: June 2009

http://glassblowerscat.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Words Blown Into Shapes. Monday, June 01, 2009. Don't Work for Thanks. In my last episode (at the dawn of time), I related my misadventures working for $50 a day. Feeling now much better about everything after earning a real rate for a while, I'll relate why it is (on the whole) preferable to avoid working these cheap-to-free jobs, no matter how starving you may be. ME: I'm super-psyched to be working this free gig for you! No doubt this was related to the fact that these people worked in the music video...

The Glassblower's Cat: September 2007

http://glassblowerscat.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Words Blown Into Shapes. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. I'm really starting to realize the validity of the idea that you should only write what you're passionate about. Plunk me down in the middle of a draft, two months into writing (since I have the discipline of a kitten), and I won't have the faintest idea what the career implications of this project are. Finishing it. But ordinarily, I'm going to have to be really stoked about what I'm doing, or despair quickly sets it. Which is why this book adaptatio...

The Glassblower's Cat: Mysterious Behavior of a Literary Agent

http://glassblowerscat.blogspot.com/2009/02/mysterious-behavior-of-literary-agent.html

Words Blown Into Shapes. Friday, February 06, 2009. Mysterious Behavior of a Literary Agent. In November, my newly-acquired agent (henceforth known in this blog as AGENT) sent out a script of mine (SCREWBALL SCRIPT) to several production companies. He sent me a list of the companies, along with the names of the executives at those companies who were in receipt of the script. A couple weeks later, I called him up about something else, and we had the following conversation:. ME: (Checks email) . No. But I ...

Words Blown Into Shapes. Sunday, April 13, 2008. To my two regular readers: the next post exists to display video clips for reference by a potential employer. Feel free to disregard. Sunday, April 06, 2008. Best Vacation. Ever. My vacation is hours from ending, but I have actually accomplished what I set out to do. Firstly, I finished rewrites on the rom-com and sent it to an agent, as noted below. Secondly, I banged out the last 86 pages of the book adaptation I started some time ago. I took vacation th...

The Glassblower's Cat: March 2007

http://glassblowerscat.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Words Blown Into Shapes. Friday, March 09, 2007. Random Thoughts After Watching. So finally I saw. And it's really funny, I won't deny it. I laughed. A lot. And I was watching it alone—I don't laugh when I watch movies alone. It's also quite clear that Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius. Borat is an very smartly-developed character portrayed with stunning consistency throughout the film. It's too bad for him that Oscars do not get given to comedy actors. Is a disturbing film in a few ways. Probably helped to ...

a web of lies and deceit: May 2006

http://webofliesanddeceit.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

A web of lies and deceit. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Do you need a spanking? This works well for my kids when we travel. At home, I just put them in the dryer. How disciplined are you? I am, by nature, not a disciplined person. Most of us are probably not. The creative free side of our natures and the rigid disciplined side of our natures continually clash with only some of us making it out of the confrontation alive. Writing is a combination of both of those things. They only care if it is good. Robert Ro...

a web of lies and deceit: February 2006

http://webofliesanddeceit.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

A web of lies and deceit. Monday, February 20, 2006. Finished up that screenwriting class. Over. Produced a series for Discovery. Over. Punched out a draft of a script. Over. Been waiting for three years to do my film. Get a call on Thurday that big actor has a hole in his schedule - and we might get bumped up. Is to get your movie started shooting. But if you are like me - you sits and wait and wait and wait and wait. and your family slowly staves and begs and whores and . Well you get the picture.
