I Didn’t Win, But I Feel Like A Winner

by Cecil on September 18, 2008

John August held a scene writing contest on this blog and I thought it was the perfect thing to get me back into writing so I entered. I didn’t win but, that wasn’t the out come I was hoping for. I wanted to just complete something that had a deadline.
For the contest you had to [...]

Testing [scrippet]

by Cecil on September 8, 2008

I’ve been keeping an eye on John August’s development of his Scrippets plug-in for Wordpress since he announced it. I’ve always been envious of his way with code that made script excerpts show up on his website  in proper format. Now everyone can do it.

Baby Steps

It’s been awhile since I’ve had the urge to write something for pure entertainment. I do still do a little writing over on my other blog, but nothing that’s along the lines of why I started this blog. For the past few months I’ve been saying I was going to leave work [...]

by Cecil on May 19, 2007

Now that I’m getting back into Screenwriting (and blogging), I wanted to write about one of the problems that’s plaguing me with my writing. Paralysis by analysis or analysis paralysis . This is a big problem for me. I think to much about what I’m about to write and then over analyze it the [...]

Indie Sitcoms

by Cecil on January 20, 2007

Surfing around the Newyorktimes.com website I came across an article on Indie Sitcoms . While the article didn’t go in depth, it did highlight a few shows like, Duder, Floaters, The Burg and Soup of the Day. One of the projects I’ve been working on is a sitcom. I had the idea of producing it [...]

When?

by Cecil on November 21, 2006

A few days ago I popped over to one of my favored finance blogs and was greeted by the picture you see above. Although this is a finance blog the caption resonated with me. “I’ll do it tomorrow” has become my mantra. I’ve been waiting to start blogging again and hoping to have that great [...]

Yahoo held my blog hostage!

by Cecil on October 20, 2006

I haven’t blogged in awhile, but it’s not my fault. I host this blog through yahoo’s small business starter plan and for some reason it stopped letting me acsses my log in page. After a long fight with yahoo’s non-existent customer service, I decided to just delete the blog and start over. To add to [...]

Me, Books and Cast Of Shadows

by Cecil on May 17, 2006

As far as books are concerned, I’ve really gotten into reading them as of late. That might not sound bad if I was say 13, but I’m 26. For a quick background on my inability to grasp anything literary, the only two books I can remember reading, required or not, before I dove head first [...]
