The Initial Idea: What to write?

Drawing
When I was a kid, I would draw all the time.
I drew from my imagination.
I drew from reference, like comic books.
I got into graffiti.
Drawing inspiration has slowed and drawing tapered off.

Writing
When I was 20 I discovered Henry Rollins and his books, and was inspired to write.
Wrote poetry for years, but ran out of gas. 
”It’s been said, and by better than I.”
Desire to write more
What to write? Novel? 
A screenplay will be easier. (yeah right)
But How?

Introducing the new podcast/blog page!

Hello,

Welcome to the new and improved podcast and blog page for the upcoming independent film Overcoming Going Under! Thanks for coming and reading. I’m still working on getting wordpress figured out and the content from the previous version of the podcast loaded up here, but when I do new posts will commence on a much more regular basis and I will be blogging about the progress of the post production and all that goes along with it.

So stay tuned! You can subscribe via your favorite RSS feed reader from the sidebar, and if you enjoy the blog and want to support the film we’d really appreciate a donation. Any amount would be appreciated, and if you donate and leave your information you will get a special thanks mention in the credits of the film and a free copy of the dvd when it is available!
