Ain’t this been a month? I’ve actually watched, and listened to, and read my way through a ton of shit. I just haven’t taken the time to write in my usual taut and concise manners. Mostly, because of other writing obligations. I love to write. And now I’m neckdeep in the motherfucker. But it means I’m so busy writing, I can’t find time to write. Riddle that, batdick.
It’s not a complaint, it’s an apology. And if anything, it’s sort of like boot camp. It’s forcing me to write every day, or at least sketch up outlines and whatnot. I’m doing a Pajiba article a week, and I just joined a really nifty group of Pajibbidactyls at Blog Me A Tale. Each month, there’s a new topic, and we’re to write a blog entry concerning whatever is there. The first month was Open Mic, where we could write about anything. I wrote about my first open mic experience in college. It’s called Ode to My Penis. Because someone’s got to class up the joint over there. Don’t just read mine though, check out everyone else’s. It’s a really awesome conglomerate of writerly folk. I’m looking forward to my monthly contributions.
Also, in case you wonder why my interwebular presence is going to be lacksadaisical in the next month, it’s because I’ve signed on to do Script Frenzy! Similar to my blast through 50,000 words on NaNoWriMo (half the novel I intend to complete this next go around) in one month, the idea is to write a 100-page screenplay in 30 days. But since I’m a psychotic self-abusive asscock who can’t do anything the easy way, I’ve decided that I’m going to try to write 4 screenplays in a month. One a week. All horror films.
If I get four plot outlines and character layouts worked up for these things, I’ll consider it a victory. If I finish one, the website considers it a victory. If I finish two, I’ll shit. But goddammit, I’m going for four. Higginbottom may or may not also be attempting it.
If you are part of Script Frenzy, and want to join in, sign up at the site, then befriend me. My username is CharlesDickensCider. Because I am mature and witty. I’m going to probably be on AIM for most of this, with the screenname Hooray4Pancakes. So if you feel like shouting out to me, please do. I may get distracted and cranky when it starts coming down to crunch time. But hey, when am I not bitchy?
I’ve honestly got about 15 reviews to post, that I’ve got listed at the top of this page, and I’m cranking through some other stuff that’ll go up for April. Lawdy, lawdy, I’m already fucking exhausted and I haven’t even gotten into the grind of things yet. Son of a bitch.
