~ Mental Origami ~: June 2005

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Monday, June 27, 2005. Mother of the *& %$.@! My seven year old daughter broke my heart yesterday. Apparently, she’d been looking through old videotapes and found one with a bunch of her baby footage. I have no idea why we’ve never watched it with her. Life has been much more hectic since her little sister was born, almost four years ago. A no excuse excuse, but that’s all I got. So, her own baby video made her cry. Because it made her feel. She’s sev...

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Monday, February 13, 2006. I mean, it’s cool to see familiar IP addresses in my Site Meter log each day, but I’m baffled. Not only do I know nobody in some of these geographic areas, there are a few I’d never even heard of (yeah, okay, so geography was never my best subject). Anyway, I’m happy you stopped by at all and honored you’ve made a habit of it. I doubt you’re picking up pearls of wisdom on screenwriting - I didn’t think I’d dropped any. Well,...

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Thursday, August 04, 2005. So, I’ve been pondering the sensation of being touched when you’re not actually being touched. When a non-physical Something causes an involuntary physical reaction. I’ve got some John Mayer in the CD player right now. "Your Body is a Wonderland" is set on Repeat. The song ends and I’m still catching my breath when the thrumming begins again. I should probably stop listening to it in the car.). A gasp or an adrenaline surge.

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Wednesday, September 14, 2005. In case you were wondering why I don't write poetry. Just took a jaunt down memory lane and came across a little something that's too embarrassing not to share with hundreds of anonymous strangers. I wrote it years ago, while briefly dating an actor whom I fondly refer to these days as Mindfuck Guy. And now, for your giggling pleasure, I present:. My palm sweats, clammy. Beneath the blood of his heart. I like these shoes.

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Sunday, April 30, 2006. It's Good to be the King. Just finished the first draft of what turned out to be a complete reimagining and rewrite of POOL BOY - I mean, UP and COMING - that is, IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING. I feel great. It needs work, I know. But there are some great moments in there. Some really funny stuff. Some bits I never would've thought I could or would come up with, but there they are. And to get a call on my cell from my producer, a gu...

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Tuesday, March 21, 2006. Y’know that manager I’ve been talking to? Well, he called yesterday and began, So, I read POOL BOY over the weekend. I want you to know, I still think you’re a really great writer. Uh-oh This can’t end well. He pointed out accurately that my story lacks conflict and we talked about that. He felt my structure was good (thanks Blake! And he still digs my voice. How did this happen? Posted by Julie O'Hora at 10:09 PM. A couple pr...

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. So proud of our little artiste. Daughter #2 (identified in previous blog entries as "Malfoy"), age 4, is an artist. She'll tell you so, herself. Unlike most kids, who say, "I'm gonna be an artist when I grow up," she says, "I'm an artist." All matter-of-fact-like. Unlike most artists, she's quite confident in social situations. Luckily, Mrs. FF didn't offer our little. Posted by Julie O'Hora at 7:51 PM. Julie wants you to b...

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Sunday, October 30, 2005. All the cattle are standing like statues. Lately, my world hasn’t responded to me in the usual way. Tragically, I have more experience in legal assisting than any self-respecting holder of a baccalaureate degree ought to. No less tragic is the sad fact that it’s about the only job I’m qualified to do that would pay a half-decent salary. (Okay, it’s about the only job I’m. Qualified to do etc.). There was one full-time (.

I know, I know. This doesn't really count as writing. Saturday, December 17, 2005. Okay, that's too vague for me, 'cause I've been percolating my next script for a couple of months now and I don't have much in the way of written words to show for it. I've got some compelling story elements, but they're not coming together for me, yet. It's like, I've got this really cool Lego piece. and a Lincoln Log and a stick from a Tinker Toy set. It's making me nuts. List, for Chrissake. 3 A Strange Attractor. Could...
