WASSUP? WASSDON?

AUG 11 2007

Not to0 much.

Dying to get my own comp, internet at my place.

Have so much to do...so little time...and driving back and forth between Soledad and Salinas...and popping down 20 bucks for 8 hours at the internet cafe...is spending too much.

Flip side?

Back in the Zone with my writing...busting my chops to do it the way the Uni wants me...and the Uni rewards me for it...

RAGE

Felt really good on getting through ACT 1.
Not too good about the page count...42 pages.

But pages are meant to be chopped down anyway.

And as the usual excuse goes lately...it's only a first draft...and no one reads first drafts except me.

Felt great about getting emotional over what my main character...SAMMy is about to go through.

He's got a helluva wilderness waiting for him...and the darkness is wide open arms out their on an unknown frontier.

act 2a IS A BREEZE...ONE CONFLICT...one bad ass shithole after the next
and act mid...well, it's my cave...into the dark night of the soul...even easier.

It's act 2b...that has me somewhat up and down now.

Act 3's cool...because I can always string out the final climax

It's always been act 1...which has always got me burning down the world.
So much stuff to jam into it...before it breaks, widens out and grows on its own throughout act 2 and act 3.

Oh well...that's the stuff of er legends...write on, write on.


MANAGERS / THE BIZ -- LEGACY

THE COLLECTIVE and J.ROSS ENT. are reading LEGACY.
Well, at least the COLL is.

J.R. won't get to it until they get it...which'll be in a few days.
J.R. sounds cool on the E.

The Coll sounded cool on the phone.

Have no idea about Ms. Patty.

You'd think with ICM cutting her loose, and an up and comer (6 years outa film school, but who's counting, but...) like me...she'd jump.

Had LEGACY for a week...based on her assist telling me to get it in as soon as possible, and now it's wait, wait, wait....

She hasn't even read it yet...and probably won't.

She's just not hurting for clients...and is probably burned out on the whole Biz.

I still can't believe how commercial I changed LEGACY over to.
I miss TAYLOR, the old hunter...tracker, killer...and the whole
symbolic, inverted unholy trinity ensemble I'd put together.

Even miss the overt conspiracy team going into action.

Said so much about the present story...while opening up doors for the sequels...and obviously the prequel.

Don't mass the lab scene...
Just had no other idea at the time how to work itout...

Plus...it was all during the last days of fiasco at UCLA, and becca, and the Co-op, etc.

So all I was doing was jamming on pure airplane fuel...

I'm stunned more of my life didn't fall apart or swore off writing and creativity all together.

I don't think I'd be alive today if I hadn't gone through what i did...and took
the hits that slam hammered away at me.

First time I can go public...

"Becca...I wish you the best. Sorry about being jerk if you thought I was"
"Hope you really have everything you want"

There, now it's out in the Uni...the Uni does what it wants with it.
