Writing About Not Writing

Yeah, I am still not writing. I am beginning to miss staring blankly into Final Draft, wracking my brain, and brooding. That said, I am really enjoying the break.

I have used some of this extra free time to watch movies. I have been to the theater more often than usual this summer. I saw Shrek 3 twice. It isn't as good as the first two, but it is decent. The kids enjoyed it. My ten year old daughter especially like the inclusion of the princesses from other fairy tales. We liked Surf's Up. We also liked Evan Almighty. It had its share of flaws, but it was a good family film. As for rental movies, I have been watching the Indiana Jones films. I never tire of them!

Watching films with a critical eye can be considered research during your down time... don't stay away from writing too long, need to exercise that muscle before atrophy kicks in, even if it is just doodling potential scenes and character biographies in long hand pencil in a notebook while sipping an Orange Julius in the mall

I do not understand this "not writing" that you keep writing about.

Hey there! I'm late in responding, but thanks for letting me know about your husband being in Africa for work, now. Would love to hear more about that. Email me if you get a chance, okay? Thanks!

Moviequill - That is how I am thinking of it... it feels more productive that way.

Brett - I decided to step away from screenwriting for a time. It looks like I will be taking a shorter break than I had expected. I just needed to stop thinking about it for a while.

Joel - I'll drop you a line soon. :)
