low tide, high tide
Me thinks those around me doth protest too much.
Finished the first draft of 'The Death Loop' and where it is a 'good' script it really needs to be an 'amazing' script.
I wasn't sure at first if i could 'go there' but after the feedback i now know i was 'on the right page' and will now 'turn that shit out'.
It is funny, when you are writing, you get into this little world that is all your own and sometimes it is impossible to tell if others reading what you have written are with you - in that same world you are in. But i think i have found a way to remedy that. It is about that sweet spot when i can feel it working: i act and react as though i am the characters. Then i am speaking from a place of truth. And that always works. Like I would try to do as an actor... but with the written word.
B said that as he read the first draft, he felt the world around him (i'm paraphrasing, okay?) and that at the end he felt his emotions rise. But i want more. And so I am taking the characters- taking some of them i didn't bring on the full ride, taking some of them hostage, and i am going to break them open and reaveal them to themselves.
I hope
