Day off musings

I took today off to catch a matinee showing of Predators.

Yes, you read that correctly. That's my kind of film. It was good, too--just what I was looking for.

I got lucky with the audience, too--a few others were there but apparently they were there to watch the film and not chat on their cell phones or carry on loud conversations with their friends and whatnot. So I got to actually hear the thing.

Now, to work. I've got the cast of characters for my next spec script. Mostly, anyway. Fortunately, except for a handful of minor characters who might crop up, this will be everybody. Good for me, because I tend to get people mixed up. Maybe I can keep this crew straight.

So, next I'm going to plot it all out. This much I learned from my technical writing, at work--start big, then get into some details, then go into further details. I won't have each individual scene plotted out but I'll have enough to know how to get where I want to go.

It's gonna be great! I know it! Maybe I can get this thing made and you'll see.

Of course, I gotta write it, first. And convince somebody to shoot it. Wish me luck.
