i havent written a god damn thing. all i do is plan and stop.
I got an offer for $5000+ to write a web series, but the guy wanted 13 scripts in 60 days, which i told him would be nearly impossible. i told him I'd give it a shot, but I'd prefer he knock it down a bit b/c thats too damn much... especially when the idea wasn't strong and i would be starting from absolute scratch. he wanted to make a web series based on 2 characters from a 3 page short I wrote. I never had any intention for it to be more than a 3 page short. He gets back to me and says I'm 100% right and they were trying to do too much in too short a time, so now I'm trying to negotiate something else. so that kinda sucks, but I can't bind myself to a contract I wouldnt fulfill... and if I did somehow write 312 pages from absolute scratch in 2 months, the product would be absolute dogshyt. he's telling me not to worry about story... not for nothing but yeah thanks for the money, but i dont want a total mail-in associated with my name. anything i get paid to write should propel me further, not draw people away from me. A bunch of funny jokes are great, but it needs to follow a story arc.
im "writing" a pilot for a guy in LA, who is also rushing me (these dudes dont get it, it takes time, i cant churn out a script from scratch in a fukkin week, it wont even be semi-good)
and outside of that, I have 2 screenplay ideas plotted out, but no progress is being made. Eventually I'll crack into them, but i have a shytty job now that is taking up all my time
my sunny is still the
#1 script on that site after all this time, but i haven't so much as logged in for like 2 months.
If anyone wants to "talk shop" and let me spitball my ideas at them, pm me, I'm always down for crowd sourcing
oh and I write shytty articles for a website for like $15 a pop... but I'm procrastinating on those as well, not enough money to care.
