I’ve decided to stop the daily link posts since, to be honest, it serves absolutely no purpose other than to clog up the google results for paradasos. I’ll keep the blog for now and might eventually switch over to use this as my main one but, for now, all my links are publically available on de.licio.us anyway and you can find my google reader shared items in the widget to the right of the screen. Otherwise, my main blogs are still on blogspot

Book 1: Chapter 1
January 16, 2008A lot of the script is still completely up in the air, but there’s a few things I’m very definite on. I know that I want the story to be set in Glasgow and I know what songs I want playing at the very start and the very end hypothetically, should the movie ever be made. I’ve got a rough idea of the overall story arc and have ideas for about half of the individual scenes.
What remains to be seen is whether I manage to imbue the prose with the wit and warmth that I know it needs. I’m guilty of allowing myself to daydream wildly and imagine the huge success that it would be if the film is made and is a hit, but I still need to actually put pen to paper and write something, just to get things moving. (same goes for the blog)
The next step is to write down a list of every scene I have in mind and rearrange it into some semblance of order. From that, I can either start writing scenes in order, one at a time from start to finish, or else start on some of the key scenes hoping that if I get them right, the rest will just fall into place.
Once I have the whole script written, I intend to choose definite locations of scenes and make up a story board using photo backgrounds and hand drawn ‘actors’ laid on top. Might even do a read through at that point and string the whole movie into a slide show, Who knows?
There’s a long way to go and, as always happens, real life is getting in the way too much right now. I want this enough to find the time though.
Next time, I’ll give a rough overview of the story and hopefully have the story structure nailed down…
