Bitching in the Basement. Notes from a script and manuscript writer. Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Tips are Always Appreciated. My writing has stalled out and every day it makes me more frantic. I sit in my normal writing spot and stare at my laptop screen. I sit in another, more desk-like spot and stare at lined paper. I go to the library, sit in an isolation desk, and stare at its walls. On the other hand, I'm reading more. How do I quit worrying and love the work? How do I get back in the rhythm? But t...

Bitching in the Basement. Notes from a script and manuscript writer. Friday, August 28, 2009. When Will the Storm Break? This short story’s got a funny/interesting locked-in-a-room-together concept. But I’m a thousand words in and nothing’s happening. Plus, those thousand words have taken two days to write. What’s up with my pacing? So: today I’m going to (1) think of a HAUNTING/BIZARRE/BEAUTIFUL image to center my story around (2) write it until it’s done. Thursday, August 27, 2009. But I haven't only o...

Bitching in the Basement. Notes from a script and manuscript writer. Wednesday, January 13, 2010. I'm doing another draft of my manuscript from last year. And I'm suspicious that the story I want to write is still beyond my skill to convey. It's got 2 protagonists, who are also each others' antagonists.4 POVs.action sequences.and about a million sub-plots. What do I do? I still believe in the story, but I just don't know if I can handle it. On the other hand, it feels like a cop-out to dump it.

Bitching in the Basement. Notes from a script and manuscript writer. Friday, July 31, 2009. Tomorrow I leap back into the deep end: the beginning of my new WIP. 2 months sorting it out in my head, and I now know:. Some of the themes. Specifics about this strange world the characters exist in. But so far, it's like I've been chatting with the characters online, and tomorrow I'll meet them for real. Wow, I'm nervous! But I'll just have to wash my hair, smile, and show the fuck up. Thursday, July 30, 2009.

A range of links and resources for those researching and writing about the media industries. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Winter Reading: New TV Industry Blogs.
