I’m Having Trouble With The Latest Script



Not because I don’t know what to write, so much as because it’s a fairly dialogue intensive storyline (Yeah, I’m talking about the CG Animated series again) and, if it hasn’t been made abundantly clear by this point, I like dialogue. A LOT.



So my basic problem is pulling my own leash and saying in Shatner-esque, stilted, broken sentences, “Too… many… words… Must… cut… down.”



I’m sure this problem will resolve itself once I remind myself that these lines will eventually have to be uttered by actual human beings that have oxygen requirements and need to stop and breathe once in a while.



It’s the little considerations like that which make writing an art.



Yup. Clearly I’ve been up to long. And I just watched Jacob’s Ladder again.



Memo to self: Not everyone blathers on at 100 words per minute the way you do…



‘Night all…
