dont breathe underwater
the script's a mess.
shambles.
incoherent.
but in a good way. i feel like ive finally torn it apart enough to get at the sinew. cutting away the bullshit. this just might work if i dont over think it (if i dont over fuck it).
i think my initial problem was that i got too detailed to soon. i didnt keep it loose (as an outline/general story), and now ive had to jumble it all up and get my hands dirty. draw out a spine and ribs and hips to rest it all on (last comes the head with all the "ideas" -- "larger" metaphysical bullshit... but thats much later... kinda, always balance, ALWAYS).
im getting there. im finding my process. its in here somewhere. now that im done with the notes, i've set a deadline (for this and for marathon)
ive got to get this stuff together so i can get out there. im in the jeep and its heading for the cliff. ive got to undo these handcuffs and JUMP THE FUCK OUT.
mark it on your calendar:
august 22: dont breathe underwater draft due
august 31: marathon draft due
watched the da vinci code (2006) last night. jesus (haha), it would have been painful if it wasnt for audrey tautou and sir ian mckellen. i almost forgot how important it is to watch bad films as it is to watch good ones... but really? THAT was a huge novel? sigh... americans...
(im gonna fill in the rest of my moleskine with drawings and sketches.)
