I recorded another reading of a writing exercise this week. “Carla’s Dinner” is about a woman who is short on cash. I got a new text to speech program this week: Balabolka. I ran into some trouble installing it because the computer flagged it as untrustworthy. I did some investigation and decided that I could… Read Article →

Our writer’s group did a writing exercise called “The Jolly Doll”. I went with a detective story. In the old film noir movies the detectives often called the women dolls. You can listen to it here. I couldn’t come up with an idea for an image to go with it. Later I did a search… Read Article →
I didn’t get any work done on my creative projects this week. But I did some thinking about them. “The Minions of Eros” I need to completely rethink what I want to do with the story. As it stands, it is really just a framework for a story and not a story in itself. It… Read Article →

Then I abandoned that approach and tried to… Read Article →
The writer’s group I joined suggested we come up with ideas we could pitch. I Decided to share some here on my blog. The idea is to develop ideas for short “conversation” movies. I wrote up some of my thoughts about that a while ago: https://dynamiclethargyfilms.ca/stories/conversational-stories/ The Slow Speed Date Only two people show up… Read Article →
I started to work on this project as a script in August 2009. Since then I wrote 9 drafts as a script and 26 drafts as a novella. I dropped it several times and now I think I might take it up again. Recently I listened to a few Perry Mason audio books that I… Read Article →
I completed the story board for “The ZOOM Bomber”. I have started to ask for feed back on the story. Based on what I hear back, I will decide where to go with the story. I got quite energetic a couple weeks ago and finished off the story board in just a couple of days…. Read Article →
