I am very proud of myself.  I've thought of an idea for a rom-com so edgy that I can't even mention the details here for fear of insulting someone (which, like I've said before, is not the intent of this blog - we're all superficial, all the time here at xanga.com/mascriv).  I've been having a little trouble, after finishing the second draft of the pilot and sending it out for critique, in figuring out what to write next.  Granted, I'm dabbling in prose (albeit somewhat or verywhat crappily), but the script form is much more my thang.  I like the externalization of feelings through action, silence, veiled dialogue, routine.  Interior monologue - eh, not so much.  I mean, God knows, I have one, but exploring it is just not very much fun.  In fact, it's nothing short of terrifying.  Finding signs and symbols and action to translate internal monologue onto the screen = much more fun.  Guess I wasn't a Russian major for nothing, now, was I?
