Resumption rewriting randomicity

I finally got back on a roll, doing the rewrite of The Sorcerer's Daughter.

I was stuck at a difficult place--I wasn't happy with the way I resolved the conflict in my initial draft and I still don't know how I'm going to do it this time, either, but I'm much happier with the lead-up to it now. That gives me a bit more confidence when I get to the point where the conflict needs to be resolved. Finally. Whew!

I actually started scratching out the lyrics to a song today, too. They sucked--I'm going to toss them--but still, I made the attempt, after  a dry spell that lasted over a year. Maybe I'll be back to making music sometime soon, too. Who knows? Ideas have been coming to me again.

I'm not sure what happened to sort of turn off the music making part of my brain, but I'm glad it's waking up. Maybe shortly I'll be picking up my guitars again.

I've also got ideas for a couple projects that I need to plot out. I don't know yet if they'll be film projects or prose. I'm discovering I enjoy writing screenplays better than prose for some reason, and while I'm rewriting a project--actually a sequel to a project--I'm almost done with that. I think I want another cinematic project on my plate for when this one is over with.

In fact, I think I've just now decided what it'll be--a film project that 'll be more in the scifi/horror genre. It's a project that I tried before and was never entirely happy with. Now that I have some distance from it I think it's a good time to start over. I love the initial idea. It was my execution of it that didn't work.

That was something like my second screenplay ever. I have--I think--a better idea what I'm doing now. I guess we'll find out. I'll write a treatment for it first, this time, to help me rethink the whole thing.

Sorry. Just thinking out loud here.

It's going to be stormy here in the next day or so, which will be perfect weather for something like this. I may as well take advantage of it!

Yes, the world is definitely ready for another scifi/horror movie. Stay tuned!
