Well, indeed why not?
My aim with this Blog is twofold.
Firstly it is to practice the ancient bloggity art, to become one with the know-how, the technology, the culture, the principles & practices. After all, one doesn’t want to wait until the last moment to go through all of that.
Secondly, I may or may not have something to say. I haven’t decided yet.
What little I do know is that I’m trying to study the art of screenwriting... as yet I am in that strange land between abysmal and somewhat mediocre.
I once read that you typically have to write five or six screenplays before starting to get the hang of things. So that’s what I do. I joined Triggerstreet.com several years ago and review the work of others for insight into the craft. When I feel I have gained enough knowledge I craft my shoddy works and upload them for peer review... three or four have so-far been scrutinized and rightfully taken down for a much needed rewrite. But I am getting better and I have learned a ton of stuff.
Ideally I prefer comedy, but probably anything will work. I think it’s important to study different genres and make an attempt to see what finds you.
If I have my way, I’ll write screenplays that are targeted to family audiences... I certainly don’t dislike sex, violence and profanity but find it difficult to see myself using these regularly.
I don’t see it as selling out, more one of avoiding a hard sell.
But I do love words. And studying them, profane or not, is healthy IMHO.
Peace
