‘The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order, for meaning….”-Arthur Miller I’m just not sure yet what that new manifestation will look like.

TV is dying and being reborn.Īnd so it is with Screenwriting from Iowa…and Other Unlikely Places-it’s dying and being reborn. Most college freshman I’ve read don’t have a TV in their room preferring to watch everything on their computers or phones. I’m not a Luddite, I’ve been watching The Sopranos via Amazon Prime and movies on Netflix streaming through my BluRay and playing on my TV.

They credited our account and since we didn’t miss it we dropped cable altogether. I just found out today that the cable on our TV has been off for two months because we didn’t get a new box thingy. Playwright/screenwriter David Mamet was once asked if the theater was dying and replied, “The theater is always dying and always being reborn.” Certainly that definition could be used to explain a lot in our ever-changing society. Spending time getting more dramatic writing done would be ideal. A new blog or perhaps weekly videos.įinding a way to monetize it or have it open up more speaking opportunities would be great. (Heck, yesterday had the most views all year.) Even if I stop writing daily posts here I’m sure something new will pop up. The Regional Emmy Award and shout-outs from Diablo Cody, Edward Burns, and –as well as the many readers over the years have all been much appreciated. (You know what doesn’t have a finish line? Hamsters running on a wheel.) It just seems like 2,000 posts on screenwriting is a good finish line. But on a little reflection, I realized I like finish lines. When I was in film school I used to have a Nike poster in my dorm of a lone runner with the words, “There is no finish line”-which seemed cool at the time. I don’t have much more of a game plan than that. I’m exploring some ebook options and if you have any experience or advice in that world please shoot me an email at. I’m actually on the tail-end of editing the “best of” posts down to three 60,000 word books. My original goal in 2008 was a book and it just grew and grew. I think I have 99 more posts in me to make it to 2,000. looking for a cohesive (and sometimes contradictory) view of screenwriting (sometimes spilling over into other filmmaking disciplines). Now that was revolutionary.Īll I’ve done is spend a few thousand hours laboring over books, magazines, online interviews, etc. After all they took a world that knew only numbers and formed letters and words. I know I haven’t done something as “different” as The Numberlysdid. Today is post #1,901 on Screenwriting from Iowa…and Other Unlikely Places. “As the day ended, the five were satisfied, they had done something new, something different, something more!”Ĭool Change/Little River Band (Written by Glenn Shorrock)
