I thank the screenplay encouragers. And I think I'm gonna go for it. Just like Lorrie says - one page at a time.
Temp agency people have failed to find me work. Granted, they've only been on the job for about twenty four hours. But still. Le sigh. I'm going for an interview at Starbucks today, because the one walking distance from me is looking for people, and how cool would it be to walk two blocks to work?
Hopefully, something will work out. Really, if I can start/write a screenplay (even one that I could never do anything with under my real name) and earn some extra money for lean scholastic days, I'll chalk this up to be a successful summer.
(I have low standards.)
I've had an idea for a pretty major, yet potentially cool change to this site. It would probably take me a good half day to do it, and it could be pretty rewarding. I just have to get up the energy.
I've also been trying to draw - with pencils, not computers. I really suck at it, but I love comics too much not to try. Plenty of comics look like they were drawn by sloppy amateurs. It's a stylistic choice! Really!
This, and a major Audiogalaxy binge, and free movies and cable TV, are making the days fly by.
Aside from the poorness, it really is a good life.
