RAMifications

Damn, missed the delivery guy who was bringing me 4gig of RAM...I could have written 200 times faster with that installed.


Things of note:

KCRW's The Treatment with Elvis Mitchell:
The best podcast there is (now that 1up Yours is dead). Intelligent interviews with a variety of film makers. 20mins of great chat with high profile directors, writers and actors. Make sure you catch Simon Pegg's dissertation on the
Ewok's guerrilla warfare. Download them quick because once they're gone their gone for good.

STRUCTURE:
When you start out writing you never want to play by the rules, but goddammit those rules really work.

the pen is mightier than the spork:
Screenwriter James Moran's blog. Amusing and insightful. He knows what he's talking about having written Dr.Who, Spooks, Severance (which is great) amongst many other things.

Mondo Movies podcast:
Ben and Dan give their almost expert opinions on the latest psycotronic movies and slip in a few golden oldies in there aswell. Great forum too.


Concerning Jerusalem:

I think I've cracked it by Jove. The answer to my writer's block was within the script all along, all the pieces were there I just needed to bring them together and get them chatting. Then run them over with a car.
