Philly Screenwriter

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Over the last 2 weeks I’ve made my way down to old city on numerous occasions to catch a few flix at the Philadelphia Film Festival. Alicia and I have been talking about going for the past 2 years or so but never made it  there. This year we caught 4 good movies and 1 [...]

Dear Mrs. Muse,
Recently I’ve called on you a lot to help me with most of my writing. Sometimes you came, other times, not so much. Most of the time I sat around waiting for you to appear or pop into my head like you usually do. Well, Friday morning while I was at work, I [...]

First, what I’m not doing:
I’m not hating myspace anymore.
I signed up after swearing I would never. For what I want to do it’s the perfect application. (More on that later)
I’m not buying a Canon XLs (Also more on that later)
Being indecisive about buying a mac.
I want a laptop and was considering getting the new mac [...]

A couple of months ago I took an online writing class at the Writer’s University in Television writing. I wrote a post about it here. In that class we had to pick a show to start the beginnings of what would become a spec. I chose Grey’s Anatomy because I had just started watching it [...]
