Stumbled across an interesting meme, and I decided to join in the fun. I've been toying with doing some sort of blog give-away anyway because I think they're fun. This seems like a good opportunity, so here it is. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:. 3½...

Elizabethan Theatre: Moving Movies
http://formerlyditty.blogspot.com/2009/07/moving-movies.html
The media intake and output of elizabeth ditty. Thursday, July 02, 2009. Earlier this week, Julie Gray over at The Rouge Wave. Wrote a post about films that move you. You know the ones: they make your tears well up (or spill over), or they give you that tingling feeling, or that swelling sensation in your chest that makes you proud to be a human being. Roger Ebert. Calls it Elevation or Transcendence. I've already made my love for this movie perfectly clear here. This movie splits the crowd, critically s...

Elizabethan Theatre: December 2008
http://formerlyditty.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
The media intake and output of elizabeth ditty. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. 2008: My Year in Review. 2008 was a landmark year in my life. It was a year of transition: ends, beginnings, redefinitions, and, most of all, getting back to the core of who I am and what I want out of life. Looking back over my tangible accomplishments, it's also been a fairly productive year. I wrote or rewrote five screenplays totaling 489 pages and 93,500 words. I participated in and won ScriptFrenzy. For the fourth time.

Elizabethan Theatre: Netflix Project: Dead Poets Society (1989)
http://formerlyditty.blogspot.com/2008/10/netflix-project-dead-poets-society-1989.html
The media intake and output of elizabeth ditty. Sunday, October 12, 2008. Netflix Project: Dead Poets Society (1989). Spoilers ahead. Beware. Tom Schulman's screenplay for Dead Poets Society. Won the 1989 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Starring Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke, among others, Dead Poets Society. Tells the story of a group of students at a staunch prep school and the effect a non-traditional teacher has on their approach to life. Do that means something, I think.

Elizabethan Theatre: The Maelstrom of Act Two
http://formerlyditty.blogspot.com/2008/05/maelstrom-of-act-two.html
The media intake and output of elizabeth ditty. Friday, May 23, 2008. The Maelstrom of Act Two. Act Two is the bane of my existence. It never fails to throw me a curve ball, whether it's in the form of an unseen character direction, a massive wave of writer's block, or general apathy toward what's happening in my story. I've become slightly more apt at wading through Act Two since I started outlining. I start with Blake Snyder. So what is it about Act Two that makes it so damn difficult?
