So I Guess I Fancy Myself a Writer

  I just put some finishing touches on my latest work and move on to my next project, I suppose that after 7 (never will be published) “books” I consider myself a bit of a writer. Sure, its a broad term. I mean any idiot can doodle on a napkin can consider himself an artist. So though in my head I think of myself as a writer, I am probably not that great of one. Think more of a Stephanie Meyer than an Anne Rice. Heh, well maybe not that bad.

  It kind of bothers me when a writer is told to do something… say… Ghostbusters 3 script and given an amount of time to do it. I don’t operate like that. I write when an Idea comes to me, not when I am told to do it. Now don't get me wrong, I can churn out a script for a new X-men movie in like 10 minutes, but when I do something new and original a good idea has to just come to me. I have ideas for new shit every day, and I write them. And all of them suck. Except 5. I just don't see how real brilliance can come out of a “Hey, here's 10 million to write this movie. And you have 4 weeks.”

Maybe I just suck.

Although there are some things I am pretty proud of.

But then again… probably not.

Until Next Time I Remain… Written.
