tv on the radio revew. go read, i'll wait.

you came back pretty fast. that's cool. i have this too. no?

well that's cool too.

i was poking around these here internets and i stumbled across this here screenwriting wiki. now, professional writing strikes me as kind of cool, but mostly because i ignore the implied hooker with a penis "I sold out long before you ever even heard my name" necessity of the biz. regardless, i poked around a bit, and i decided that it would be interesting to fully embrace the writing cliche.

i.e.

keep a voice recorder around and record little vocal notes to myself
take time to write and actively try to write, i dunno, murphy brown episodes or something
use screenwriting software

so in examining the third step, i stumbled across (again, on these here internets) celtx, a free bit of screenwriting software that is actually surprisingly badass.

so what would be the output of a person who wrote by imitating everything he had ever seen or heard about the writing process, from people, books, magazines, the web, tv shows, movies, etc?

my guess is that it would be horrid and full of obvious crap.

i'm rambling now.

i have no real point.

let's all just embrace cliches.

update: i just realized (and yes, this is pathetic) that i am actively trying to emulate george costanza. the pathetic part is just realizing it when it was sitting in front of my face this whole tiime. the key, then, is just to actually do something. unrealized ideas cost nothing and lead nowhere, but realized ideas, as simple and as easy as they may be to execute, could be the ticket out of here. to, you know, wherever.
