robinsonwritesfilmblog: August 2013
http://scaringsquirrels.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 August 2013. Another blog free month. Not such a good thing. So I'm pulling back from the time wasting things in life such as Facebook and getting on. What has happened in the past month? Work on the second draft of my current project has just shifted into high gear. Things look slightly promising. I say slightly as it's never a good idea to get your hopes up too much in this game, rather to stay realistic and only get excited when things are actually completed. Links to this post. Wwwmandyl...

Monday, 29 July 2013. Sci Fi, Puppets and Other Stuff. Well, been a bit busy with things. Had a good time at this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, pitched a project to a panel in front of an audience of about 50 people (not a pleasant experience), drank too much and saw some good films. Pictures to come. Bring on next year. I'm in the process of starting notes for the next draft of my current feature project, editing two videos (one actually a paid job! Now, how do I earn some money? Sci Fi,...

robinsonwritesfilmblog: April 2014
http://scaringsquirrels.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 23 April 2014. Anyone having trouble reconnecting with their story when emabarking on a rewrite needs to listen to the latest Scriptnotes podcast. From John August and Craig Mazin. My current rewrite has been hanging around for far too long, needing a proper kick up its arse and the advice in the new Scriptnotes podcast is great stuff. I encourage anyone who hasn't already to subscribe to their podcast. Scriptnotes 140: Falling back in love with your script. Tis a tonic, I tell ye!

robinsonwritesfilmblog: The Art of the Rewrite*
http://scaringsquirrels.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-art-of-rewrite.html
Monday, 2 September 2013. The Art of the Rewrite*. Read previous draft as much as you can. Take metaphorical sledge hammer in hand. Smash the damn thing to pieces. Look at the bits left that still make sense. Watch for fat and dispose of it. Add new bits if necessary. Rebuild from the ground up. Keep sledge hammer handy if need be. Drink plenty of tea. The following should not be construed as solid advice but more of a venting process. 2 September 2013 at 12:36. 2 September 2013 at 12:55. Nice image, sha...
