Writer's Blog...er...block

Sometimes I go through these phases where I spend a lot of time reading and watching movies - appreciating the art and genius of others - a wonderful past time, yes - but it doesn't help writer's block.

There are a lot of films that inspire me to want to create and most of the time that translates into writing.

I'm working on these two screenplays that Adria & I are filming in the August - September time frame. The overall stories and storyboarding are going great - the dialogue not so great. The funny thing about this is that Adria & I have amazing conversations. I go all day talking to friends and family that are intelligent, clever and fun. The conversations that result are interesting and would probably bring a few laughs on the big screen - but its a lot harder to write down dialogue that doesn't sound completely craxy when you read it out loud.

Hats off to you, Kevin Smith - dialogue genius extraordinaire.
