How I did it: I co-wrote a script with my husband (the real writer in the family) for fun and to relax. We wrote a comedic/satiric horror film, which we actually went and filmed as well.We started with brainstorming a plot and coming up with characters. Then we took that outline and started going with it, bouncing ideas off each other. It was the first time either of us has co-written something, and it was fun. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I directed the prologue to the film my husband and I wrote together. So it's technically part of another film, but could stand alone as a short. I did a little directing with the rest of the film, but this portion was more planned - with shot lists, multiple takes, more angles/inserts, etc. More traditional, while the rest of the film is more guerrilla in style. I think I came up with some stylish shots. Read how I did it…
How I did it: So many fantastic things have happened to me this year, and mostly it's been amazing because I have spent most of my time with my best friend - now my husband. He's encouraged me to try new things, and take on challenges I would have been afraid to before. I've increased in confidence, and in how I feel about myself. I planned our wedding, which turned out perfectly, and did it on a dime. We moved into our first place together. I produced… Read how I did it…
Just finished “Needful Things.” Not bad, but I am getting a little tired of King blowing up/burning down towns and/or homes at the end of his books. It’s starting to get a little old (Carrie?, ‘Salem’s Lot?, The Shining?, Firestarter?, Roadwork?, It?, The Tommyknockers? I could go on). Enough already. I’d prefer a little more originality.
I just paid off one of my cards. :) Admittedly, my parents lent me some of the money, to pay back to them over the next year, but at least they aren’t charging me 18.99% interest. Damn card just arbitrarily doubled my rate earlier this year. I’m glad I’m not paying them anymore.
“The Tommyknockers” was just AWFUL, but I thoroughly enjoyed “The Dark Half.” I skipped “The Stand” which was technically next, because I’ve read it three times already. I am now on story three in “Four Past Midnight.” The first two were very good, and I’m looking forward to the rest.
