I Know the Toys Suck, but I Still Want Me Some Crackerjacks

Someone once said that writing is like baseball, regardless of hard work, knowledge and experience, "You still need to be able to throw a 100MPH fastball."

The person who said this (a screenwriter who's name escapes me right now) is implying that the most important aspect of screenwriting is sheer, handed down from Mt. Olympus, God-given ability.

I disagree.

I have met writers who are extremely talented, however they do little to hone their craft. They don't read scripts/books/other materials... they don't attend classes, seminars, etc... they don't network... and, most important of all, they don't write everyday!

Now, you can get away with not reading (a little bit) and not going to film school (whose necessity is debatable) and maybe, just maybe they can get away without networking (not bloody likely) .... BUT, you cannot avoid writing.

If you're not writing everyday at this stage of your career then you will never be a writer. Ever. That's just it. People complain about writer's block or that writing isn't fun. Fine, then writing is not for you.

Masturbating to Hannah Montana while eating Cheetos is not writer's block; it's ... well, I'll let you figure out which seven deadly sins apply. Writer's block does not exist. The best cure for writer's block is to get your ass off the couch and plop it... on a chair in front of your computer and write! It doesn't have to be gold and it probably won't be, but hey! You're writing!

Mike Myers shared a story on "Inside the Actors Studio" about how SNL writers would write, "And Gilda does something funny" and move on with their script. This is a great device to use. There are several times where I'll write a stream-of-conscious type prose within my script just to work out the thoughts in my head and I'll leave it in Final Draft and sort it out later.

But even if you don't have writer's block, you might not be able to get much writing done because "writing isn't fun." Well, no effen $#!T! Who ever said writing was fun? If it was fun they wouldn't call it writing, they would call it the porn industry.

Writing is often a laborious, sometimes torturous and nearly always a solitary trade. I'm butchering this quote from another writer whose name escapes me (I'm having a blond day, I know), but it basically goes, "Writing is cutting open your veins and bleeding on the page."

Or in our case, slitting our wrists and letting the blood pour from our arteries on to our Macbooks and into Final Draft and willing ourselves not to call 911 until we have 120 pages of cinematic gold!

Yes, writing isn't fun. I never claimed to be any good. I never claimed to have a "love for writing." For me, and this may not apply to many other people so I apologize if this isn't helpful...

... But I am addicted to writing. I wake up in the middle of the night and hop on the computer to write some dribble that came to me in a dream. Dribble that in the morning will look like I am one bender away from lopping off my ear and mailing it to a chemically unbalanced ex-girlfriend of my choice. I will sit and read interviews of obscure writers just to steal ideas... I mean, supplement my screenwriting knowledge? I will watch ostensibly mundane and boring documentaries just to glean any bit of that fastball that people keep talking about.

I never claimed to be be able to "throw a 100MPH fastball." And I suppose, the way the fastball theory works, you can't ever learn to throw one. Maybe.

Maybe not. I might not have a million dollar arm, but I certainly do not have a five cent head. Maybe I can't throw a 100MPH fastball, but I can get you to hit some ground balls and my boys can turn double plays like Derek Jeter. The thing that the writer fails to realize is that there are more pitches than fastballs. Sliders... curveballs... knuckleballs... splitters... spitters...

And every once in a while I'll throw one high and tight, just to keep you interested.

A Little About Myself

I stole this survey from Josh Friedman's blog who in turn stole it from John August (two screenwriters and, incidentally, bloggers who are far, far superior to me).

ONE (1) earliest film-related memory:
1983. My dad took me to see "Return of the Jedi" at the old Cinerama theater in Hawaii. I remember my dad taking me to see it while we waited for my mom to get out of work. We stood in the ridiculously long line, which wasn't a big deal to me since I was a munchkin and I was the biggest little "Empire Strikes Back" fan. (I have a picture of me in underoos showing off the packaging of a Han Solo toy. Not the toy itself mind you, no, just the package.) This was an especially sweet memory because my dad endured the line, the Star Wars nerds and the movie itself since my dad (I later learned) isn't the biggest sci-fi fan. Dad of the Year!


TWO (2) favorite lines from movies:

There are so many to pick from, but two "Indy" quotes that come to mind:

"It's not the years; it's the mileage."

"Everybody's lost but me." (Of course... lol)


ONE (1) job you’d do if you could not work in the “biz”:

I don't actually think any of my job skills can translate into any "real world" occupation. Composing director's lists, rolling calls and covering scripts are pretty useless abilities. However, here are a couple that might be fun:

* Grade School or Middle School Basketball Coach (Got to teach them the fundamentals early!)



FOUR (4) jobs you actually have held outside the industry:
Gas station attendant in my hometown of Ewa Beach, HI... Administrative assistant for the Department of the Navy... Customer service rep for an "internet marketing company" (yes, it's exactly what it sounds like... we spam you...) Processing assistant for the Hawaii House of Representatives (I checked proposed bills to ensure that the schmucks, I mean, congressmen and women, spelled "new taxes" correctly.)


ONE (1) book authors you like:

Chuck Palahniuk


THREE (3) movies you’d like to remake or properties you’d like to adapt:
* Chuck Palahniuk's "Lullaby" or "Invisible Monsters"
* Marvel Comics' "Hawkeye" (Feige, if you're turning ol' Clint Barton into the latest Marvel franchise, give me a call!)
* Neil Gaiman's "American Gods"


ONE (1) screenwriter you think is underrated:

Scott Frank. Okay, maybe he's not that "underrated," but he is an incredible writer and I think people need to start painting "Frank is God" on the walls of LA.

First Post (and UTA Joblist)

So my first post! Very exciting! What to write about? I should write something to convince you that you should come here daily for my sage wisdom or something along those lines. It should be witty, funny and endearing.

Unfortunately, it took me so long to set this damn thing up that I am mentally and physically drained.

Instead, I offer the following olive branch: The UTA Joblist.

If you want to work in the industry then you need this list to find jobs that you are probably overqualified for (which isn't saying much since those monkeys that they sent into space are overqualified for most of these jobs) and by the time you send in your resume, the position has been filled by someone's undeserving son, nephew or some girl who looks good in a tight blouse.

In any event, here's the list:
