Today in Writing 8/5/21

    NOTE: You will see some of these ideas stated in a video entitled "This week in writing 8/1/21-8/7/21" released on 8/8/21. You've been warned.  Well, I've taken a break from "The Plug!" To be clear I have still been working on my comic book "Call to Action." But the reason I'm taking a break from "The Plug" is simply because: ANOTHER MUSE TOOK HOLD!! I can't reveal much about this project, but it is an exciting, topical musical (that much I can  reveal).  The past few days I have written a handful of songs and am finished with "Call to Action" Issue 1.  (I am also 12 pages into Issue 2).  Still, I will continue to update throughout the week whenever something new in writing comes up!! Stay tuned for "This week in writing 8/1/21-8/7/21" on 8/8/21!!

Wish me luck! Stay tuned for "This week in writing 8/1/21-8/7/21" on 8/8/21!!

Today in Writing 8/1/21

 NOTE: You will see some of these ideas stated in a video entitled "This week in writing 8/1/21-8/7/21" released on 8/8/21. You've been warned.  Today I documented my writing process. For context I am currently working on two projects:          The Plug: a screenplay about a woman debating with her family about whether to pull the plug on her estranged mother.           Call to Action: a 4-issue comic series about a man's rise and fall in the film industry that kills him inside and out.  I documented my virtues throughout the project, and I think it's important to note I had a month-long goal (roughly 21 days, in accordance with Viki King's book "How to Write a Screenplay in 21 Days."  The plan today was supposed to be to write 6 pages of the 20-issue comic issue of the 4-issue comic series (I'm not doing the artwork, just describing the artwork and dialogue) and 10 pages of a screenplay.  I managed to get the 6 pages of Issue 1 done... ...but on
