ASK ON MOVIE SCRIPT WRITING: Sometimes Life just gets in the Way and when
it does, Things can get done and/or they don’t!
Such is and was my particular Story 2 years ago Today on July 23, 2010
when my Movie Script, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2010, Part #3 of 7 in the Series
called:
SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature ™
How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race ©2009
beat out 3,164 other Scripts in the Scriptapalooza Intl
Screenplay Competition founded by former Chicagoan, Mark Andrushko. That was indeed a highlight, I must tell
you. The Month previously, I had a ½ Page
Story in Fast Company – for my NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994. After all, picking up Steam and getting National
Attention are what we Writers (of every genre) really want to achieve and
accomplish.
However, now as I glance over the Calendar – it is 2 years
later and ANTS is not produced! Yes,
other things got in my Way that were more important. But I did learn a valuable Lesson hereas I went back to re-read Part 2 of the Story
since I decided to transition it into 2 Stories and 2 Scripts instead of one
(of each). That Revelation is:
Surprisingly, I still like it.
Sometimes, We get too close working on a Piece of Material
and don’t distance ourselves. But I was
very pleased that I still like the Piece and I was actually amazed it read as
well as it did since I thought I had more work
to do in developing ‘it’ out, as I call it.
Therefore, for those of you who might find yourselves in
this kind of Situation, don’t get down on yourself – give yourself a well-earned
Break. You return with a clearer mind and more ambition and drive to ‘work it.’ Work on something else and return to that Project.
You may just be pleasantly surprised as I was!
However, since I am ‘America’s Premier Eventologist,’ I’ve
proclaimed August as ‘Ant Appreciation Month ©2009. Therefore, my Monthly Takes on ANThood will
be featured as they were last year beginning on August 1, in 9 more Days. Returning to the Swing of Things, One ANT @ a
Time is a good Way to get back into their Story, a Story that’s 130,000,000
years old…plus one year!
