[Okay, Jose, write something (anything)] So I wrote this on my whiteboard: It’s a little reminder that time isn’t unlimited. You see, these are my targeted deadlines for two screenwriting competitions: I aim to submit two scripts: a short and a feature. The short, Matador and his Depression, needs a few touches, and the feature,Continue reading “Lines are Dead”

A Steady Update on “Studio:” a Redemption Story for the Cancelled
“Slow and steady [!] wins the race.” A heavy empathize on steady (let’s google search the word: –And now, let’s focus on the 2nd definition of the adjective: –That exemplifies the latest update on my screenwriting progress journey). Now the cancelation theme of the story is planned to be infused in the next revision. AtContinue reading “A Steady Update on “Studio:” a Redemption Story for the Cancelled”
Dusting off my First Spec Script: Studio
So the first pull from the digital shelf is Studio, my first spec pilot. Set in 2012, it’s about Tanner, a blissfully privileged and charismatic college sophomore whose tuition is cut suddenly due to his divorcing parents’ legal fees. You can find this current edition at my Screenwriting tab, all the way to the bottom.Continue reading “Dusting off my First Spec Script: Studio”
Blank Canvas: Shelved
Let me say it: Blank Canvas was not published last month. In its current state, the intended message of the story got lost while filling holes in the subplot, and the array of possible patches strays from the main plot. Thus, instead of blindly writing nonsense to complete the screenplay, Blank Canvas‘ dignity will remainContinue reading “Blank Canvas: Shelved”
21 days till Blank Canvas
The past few drafts of Blank Canvas were complete overhauls then empty busts; the inspiration began hot but quickly cooled to a dead freeze. But here I am, flirting with the original story, but this time it feels fresh: it’s been a few months since I read this rendition of Blank Canvas. The separation spoutedContinue reading “21 days till Blank Canvas”

Thoughts of the Moment- April 14th, 2022 | Blank Canvas 2.0 Kickstarts
Well, at the moment, I am writing this post at my girlfriend’s house. She is watching Survivor Season 42 while doing her nails. So, yesterday I read the outline for Blank Canvas 2.0, and I enjoyed the fresh direction. My focus will now turn to my major commitment: completing Blank Canvas by June 2022. Thus,Continue reading “Thoughts of the Moment- April 14th, 2022 | Blank Canvas 2.0 Kickstarts”
Vice Aware: BC Script Update
Alright, enough running away from Blank Canvas: In March of 2022, I rehauled the story by cutting out a story arch that was not in my authority to discuss: the consequences of infidelity. The new scene outline roared into existence, followed by a genuine opening scene, but my consciousness hazed out of the plot asContinue reading “Vice Aware: BC Script Update”
Screenplay Update: A New Direction for Blank Canvas
The Universe is quite mysterious; a force interconnects us we cannot describe but know so well. I just finished writing the outline for Blank Canvas 2.0. It’s a complete rework from the previous drafts, focused more on the essence than the story– which is weird to think about because I found myself attempting to forceContinue reading “Screenplay Update: A New Direction for Blank Canvas”
