What do I do on my vacation?
Not a whole lot, to be honest. Right now I’m battling Big Fish Games to be able to even type this post. This game is bloody heavy to download for some reason.
So far, during the first half of my vacation, I’ve done some writing. Didn’t have the cash to get FinalDraft, so I’m using CeltX and glaring at it a lot. It’s pretty cool either way. I just wish I could get it to stop taking the character/dialog in one spot and making it 1 characters name…it’s really weird. And how do we fake the margins on purpose to save a line!?
I’ve got a little further in my reading materials. The last one I read, Your Screenplay SUCKS!: 100 Ways to Make it Great, mentioned that only a beginner would be reading the books…that’s a little bit lame to say. I’ve been writing scripts for ages, some things have changed, while others haven’t. So, for being politically correct, it’s for beginners and anyone wanting to brush up on their rusty unused scriptwriting skills.
Next up on my pile of books to read: Writing the TV Drama Series and Crafty Screenwriting (thank you Alex Epstein for referencing it 1,000 times in Crafty TV Writing so I had NO CHOICE to buy it. Pfft.)
I’ve learned how to play poker in the last 2 days. Now I’m on Full Tilt Poker and rocking it hardcore! Beginner’s luck, no doubt. Did a tournament earlier today, 501th position out of 10,000 registered players.
All in all, my vacation has been nice and quiet. I’ll post more later, this was just a random update, cause I’m really bored at the moment. Next up…fixing the lag of these keystrokes.
Have a great day!
