How do you spell "Eerrrrrrnnnnttttt"?

You know, that game show sound effect for the wrong answer? I think I spelled it correctly, but any way you spell it, that's the sound I heard in my head a couple of days ago after I read some "stuff". That's where I'm going to stop. Those of you interested in pursuing this further can email or call and ask about it. And you should, because it's pretty funny.

I heard that sound again while composing an email to a casting agent, right after I realized I accidentally hit "Send" instead of "Save". Luckily it was just a general email and not something incendiary or controversial. At any rate, I fear I've "screwed the pooch" on that one. Oh well, they'll be more auditions... right? Is it slow out here or is it just me? Don't answer that.

And finally, some more bad news... I will NOT be performing in the 1-Minute Play Festival I had mentioned before. But when you think about it, it's really just the turning point in this summer's screenplay. You see, this is the part in the story where our hero get's fed up with letting things happen to him and decides to start creating his own opportunity. Then there's a big "getting things done" montage over some Smash Mouth or some other horrible band like that.

Or he could just blog.

Keep Writing

Things have really slowed down audition-wise recently. That's good and bad. Bad because daddy needs work and good because it's given me time to write. Not the blog, but screenplays.

I recently went back to a screenplay for a short film I'd been working on years ago but had abandoned for many different reasons. It's not an earth-shattering script and my wife even said, "It was never an earth-shattering idea." And she's right, it's not. I guess my point is, keep writing. Finishing the script, even if it's not the awesome piece of comedy I want it to be is more important right now. I fell off the creative wagon some time ago and I have to say, it's good to be back, even for a little while, even with a less than perfect wagon.
