I love finding stuff that I wrote a long time ago (when it isn't painful, which sometimes it is!) it's such a great feeling. Almost as if you are reading it for the first time. Like some body else wrote it. The most amazing feeling in the world is when you read something that surprises yourself and your the one who put the pen to paper! Nothing in this world can touch that high. Nothing can even try!
After many months in the dark, drowning in school and other responsibilities I have dusted off Relics number one, the newest entrée in the Warzone universe and reread the first three chapters. As soon as I finished I went right back into writing as if no time had passed. It was a great feeling that really made me feel alive. I didn't get a lot done last night because it was already late but I'm hoping to have some time to devote to it today. In between the officer meeting with the video club and class and maybe doing an episode of Clean Jeans and now that I'm starting back up my watch one new movie a day challenge. WHY the HELL does movie pass take so long to mail out to you when you order it? Free unlimited movies? In theaters no less! Hurry the hell up and show up in my mail box damn you! I need you! Next up is to reread the first two episodes of Crusaders and see if I can't start working on episode 3. As soon as I finish episode 12 we will start recording the radio play. Crusaders is my baby, I dreamed her up just a little before Warzone back when I was about 16 and all I want is to turn her into a TV show. Hopefully this radio play gives all of you the love for the story that I have. It really is something near and dear my heart.

Time has a way of getting away from you. The harder you try and hold on to it the faster it flees from you. I have so many projects running around in my head but thanks to this overwhelming feeling of doubt I haven't been working on it at all. The ability to procrastinate is an amazing thing that distracts us from all of our real goals in life. This is something that I need to work on. Something that I need to over come.
I hope that by writing this post I can help force myself out of this depressed funk that I've been in these past few months. Part of the problem is I keep writing and nothing is being completed but everyone I came up with is getting things finished. I was told my whole life by strangers that I was special. That I was going places but it feels like I can never reach the standards that everyone else set for me. So maybe my real goal so be to accomplish my dreams and not everyone else's. Make the films and stories I want to tell for myself and not worry so much about how other people view them. True art is about being true to yourself. Everyone else be damned! I put out my first casting notice last night. It is for the project I'm working on in school. It's going to be interesting to see how many people respond and what it is like working with strangers that I help pick out. I have gone through casting calls before with Davis and Larry but this is going to the first time when I'm one of the people in charge. Well I had a voice in both of their decisions but still it's cool. I'm ready for the Murder Mystery now. I can't wait to start casting that short.
It is a great feeling to be so close to doing something you love. And for the first time not having restraints on it. I mean to be fair Trapped in the Woods didn't have restrictions on it but we didn't cast outside actors and I think that might have been a poor choice. One that we plan to change going forward. I've still been struggling with trying to get myself motivated to start working on projects again. I don't know where this feeling of defeat came from but I'm trying to bury it and get back to work. These blogs are the first step. I have a new format for Sunnydale Live that I want to try after we finally post episode 6. I want to start back up on Warzone and Crusaders and I have an amazing new idea for the Christmas Podcast. Life is good I just need to buckle down and start work on everything. Wish me luck Blueroof Nation. The Uncanny Fans show up to fight against our heroes while old school podcasters from Blueroofs past come on to judge
After what felt like a life time we finally got the 4th installment in the Evil Dead franchise (if you leave out the remake that wasn't that bad if you don't think about the immortal nerd) and it was amazing! Ash is back and better than ever! Instead of another movie like we all wanted we got a brand new TV show by the name of Ash vs the Evil Dead. A great name by the way. It has all the camp and horror of the movies but with a new weekly formula and the fact that Stars has been nice enough to order a second season already means we get at least two years of this wonderful thing.
The story starts off with Ash going to a local bar to get some action and his new "friend" turns into a deadite. From there we see the new world slowly unfold and it isn't much different than we last left it. Ash has let himself go, still working in retail and now living in a mobile home trying to hide from the world and the undead until they come for him. When he pops the shotgun out and when the chainsaw connects to his arm you are hooked into in. Ash Williams has returned and the evil dead is back. I can't wait for the next episode! |
