2009 was the worst year of my Xanga existence. I can’t even remember being on Xanga---except to keep in touch with a few individuals I really dig. As far as blogging goes, 2009 was an epic fail, so I hope to make up for it this year.
I guess I can start by reviewing 09. It sucked up until the end. All these years I talked about writing a movie script and getting into filmmaking, but toward the end of 2009, I actually started writing. If anything the lousy year taught me, I have to start “doing” rather than talking about it. Things will never get down. So, after reviewing a bunch of books on screenplays, I finally got my confidence and began writing. A few other things contributed to my confidence---mainly the GI Joe movie. If somebody can write that crap and get paid for it, I certainly can get in on that action. Why not? The only person stopping me is me. So, ever since November, I’ve been writing. So far, I have 112 pages to the 1st draft. All of this was produced on a borrowed lap top. That’s another story right there.
My PC caught a nasty virus and it had to be wiped clean. Of course, I forgot that my dear ol’ Uncle had the Windows XP disc over in Delaware, so I had to wait a while in order to reinstall it. He’s a busy man, by the way. Thing is, once I got the disc, I noticed things weren’t working smoothly, which introduced me to the world of drivers. To be honest, all of this was a huge learner experience. Took a while for me to get things working right. At the moment, I’m still messed up. My PC doesn’t have MS Word or Photoshop and those are my go-to programs. I’m not that effective without it.
Once Word and Photoshop are back, I’ll be back to normal. In the meantime, I’ll be wrapping up Act III to my script. I’m sure I have to go in and clean up a few parts and make everything smooth. It is a first draft and I’m running on training wheels, so I’m not expecting Citizen Cain or anything.
I’ll be back shortly.
Cheers,
Kenny
