Times UP

So the plan was to have a script in hand by today.  Well today is almost over and there is not a script in my hand.  As a matter of fact, I haven't done a damn thing in the last week, why?  Vacation. As much as I wanted to work on the script, I just haven't had time.  Why is it people are always so busy on vacation, you need a vacation from your vacation to recover.  Oh well, so now what?  Well it's a new year in about an hour and 20 minutes, so maybe by the end of next year I'll have a script? 

I've definatly got my work cut out for me, but this doesn't end here.  I will come back renewed and get a script done.  Maybe I won't be setting any deadlines, but just say it's time to get the script finished.  I should set a deadline, but then again, that didn't work out so well for me this time.  Maybe I'm so stubborn, when someone tells me to do something, I prove to them I don't have to, did I do the same thing to myself?  Or am I just lazy?  Both most likely.  Time to break the habits, it's going to be a year of change.  I say that every year, but honestly, this year feels different.  Time will tell, but it's time to make some changes. 

Is there going to be a Superman in this Superman Movie?

Can you have a Superman movie without a Superman?  If so, then great headway was made on the script tonight.  I have read a lot of posts stating we do not need another origin story, but I disagree.  This is a retelling, it goes along with the comics to an extent, but adapted to fit the giant screen at your nearest cineplex. 
This is all about the inbetween, the stuff you haven't seen before, which means before he gets his suit.  We'll have a Supersuit be the end of the movie, but do you think it's too radical of an idea to have almost an entire movie sans secret identity?

Walk the Pattern Into Chaos

It happens every time.  I make a lot of noise, make big plans, just to watch the deadline fly by in a crash and burn.  I am no where near having my script finished, only have about half of the story complete and that can probably be ripped to shreds with all the holes that need filling.  My interest has wandered, other projects come to mind.  Just tonight I found myself reading about Ghostbusters 3, and wondering about the possibilities and what I would do on a new script. 
I lay in bed trying to focus, trying intently to think about my script, the story that I'm currently working on, Superman.  It needs to be finished.  It needs the attention that I want to pay, just can't seem to find the motivation.  I'm passionate about the story, I love the ideas in the script, so what is stopping me?  Same thing that has b een stopping me for the last 15 years, so how do I change that?  What is going to make this time any different? 
When motivation weins it's time for a new push.  Only one way to motivate me and that is to just not lose any more focus.  Think about the big picture, the scenes that just get me excited to "see" this movie.  120 pages is all it takes and I'll have one hell of a script.
