Screenwriting

An open letter to my muse.

by Cecil on April 20, 2006

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 [...]

What I’m doing at the moment

by Cecil on March 27, 2006

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 [...]

Did that just happen?

by Cecil on February 27, 2006

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 [...]

Just a quick update.

by Cecil on January 23, 2006

I’ve updated the books I read last year as well as some new ones from 2006. I still have plans to move this blog to another name, my domain name, but I’m having trouble with setting up wordpress. Once all is said and done, the books from 2005 will get their own link/page and only [...]

Where I hope to be in 2007.

by Cecil on January 20, 2006

The benchmake for every independent film is the Sundance film festival. Why? I have no idea. There are other film festivals that will do the same thing for an filmmakers or and actors career, but for some reason this is the first and only place that really count in peoples minds. Chalk it up to [...]

Golden Globes

by Cecil on January 18, 2006

I don’t watch many award shows but I try and catch a few of the major ones. The Golden Globes happens to be one of the few I actually like. That being said I didn’t know about them being on until about an hour before they started. As I already had a date with a [...]

Its been a while…

by Cecil on January 2, 2006

I haven’t posted in awhile. Just chalk it up to plan old laziness. With the New Year, here is a new post.
Last year I did a lot of things I set out to accomplish. Most feel short. I had planed on reading 15 – 20 books. I got to 11 as [...]

Back to school

by Cecil on October 26, 2005

Earlier this week (Oct 24), I started an online TV writing class at the Writers University. The class is Beginning Television Writing, which covers exactly what it says. Buy the end of the class – four weeks from now – I should have a tight, well plotted outline and all the knowledge I need to [...]

Elizabethtown

by Cecil on October 17, 2005

I so wanted to like this movie. One of my favorite movies is Almost Famous because the way the movie blends with the music. I also like Garden State for that same reason. The different between those last two and Elizabethtown is they had a story to tell. Elizabethtown was just a music video [...]

I see the light…

by Cecil on October 6, 2005

I just finished going over my short script doing a polish and then a write. I like the out come. I only have two scenes that I have to tighten up then it should be done. What do you do when you’re done your script or any other writing that you want critiqued? I [...]
