So Sweet is coming along nicely, though the script itself is not nice at all. It's the darkest, most vile thing I've ever written, and I've written some crazy shit.
I know (if people ever read it) they are going to ask me, "Where did it come from?" Honestly, I don't know. I came up with the title first (which is something I've never done) and immediately thereafter I came up with the tagline. It's funny and disturbing, just the way I like it. The tagline, not the script. It's not funny at all, fuck you levity, you can taking a walk off a pier into shark-infested waters!
At first I was going to do a ninety page script, but then I decided that I would cut it down into three stories, thirty pages a piece. I tossed the idea of having this story encompass the other two, then I said screw it, and made Sweet a self-contained thirty minute piece. What the other two scripts will be, well, I'm mulling that over right now as I work on this. I am a little over halfway finished with it, and boy, whew, it's rough. Yep, I am still shaking my arms in the air as I write scenes.
Maybe some Home Movies later or mind-numbing television will be the order of the day for a bit. Gotta decompress.
Writing again feels good, it feels right. Now if I can just get back in the swing of exercising...
