I think I'm at an interesting...Thanks, Garin. <br /><br />I think I'm at an interesting juncture in the project. It certainly hasn't gotten any easier. I'm very aware of the multitude of scenes I've written about dating, relationships and offices. If I have an idea that fits one of those categories, I try to do something different with it that I haven't done or seen. It has certainly made me take more risks and press into new areas for me as a writer.<br /><br />And I have good days and slow days. On Monday, I woke up with a blackout idea that I wrote very quickly and afforded me time to work on Tuesday's scene. On Wednesday, I had the day off and thought I could squeeze out two scenes, again, but no. Just the one and it took a long time to get it started. <br /><br />The thing that is certainly the biggest benefit of the project is that once I start writing a scene, I can move quickly and with some certainty. Once I get to "Lights up on..." I'm usually an hour to an hour and a half away from a rough draft.<br /><br />And I should hit up Stellas Espresso Company on Devon for some kind of corporate sponsorship. I've written more scenes there than anywhere.<br /><br />My most common sources to tap for inspiration are: iTunes (for song titles), The Huffington Post, and all the free weeklys out there, like The Reader and The Onion. And no, I'm not stealing ideas from The Onion, but sometimes it gives me ideas for locations or just gets my brain warmed up for spitting out some comedy. <br /><br />- joeJoe Janeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858974237565248026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153888337668314458.post-53201811624917670432009-09-18T11:22:11.448-05:002009-09-18T11:22:11.448-05:00Another strong relationship that made for a great ...Another strong relationship that made for a great payoff.<br /><br />How's the process lately?
