Haven’t done one of these for a while. Stopped as the site kept getting stuck on the same word for day after day after day. Figured I’d give it a try again. We’ll see tomorrow if I keep it going once more ( though I suspect I’ll miss Thursday and Friday as I have early meetings both mornings ).

Working on storyboards and outlines of episodes. Had to chop this up and get away form a long-form way of looking at it, treat it more as something episodic then something serial. Clarifies it a bit and makes setting goals on it a bit easier. I fucking hate planning. Anyways, random bits of dialogue. Names and genders are still really up in the air on most of the characters. Nothing has quite felt ‘right’ yet so still playing with those. Been writing bits for them that are mostly going to be thrown away and are just exercises at getting in character.

—–

Protaganist, “Why tell me all this? You expect me to do something about it?”

Character 4, “The point is to rattle your cage.”
Character 4, “To wake you up and make you look at the prison you’ve been in since birth.”
Character 4, “You can’t escape from it, but you’ll recognize it for what it is now.”

Protaganist, “So the point is to piss me off and give me nightmares about Cabbage Patch dolls?”

Character 4, “It is what it is, an ontological pyrrhic victory.”

—–

Character X, “What is that, what the fuck are you doing?”

Protaganist, “Cigarette butts. My little bit to help fight the litter problem.”

Character 2, “And you decided this was a good time to learn to finger paint with them?”

Protaganist, “Shut up already, will you. This is thaumaturgy, magic, symbolism…”
Protaganist, “Every cigarette is a nail in someones coffin…”
Protaganist, “Coffins are nailed shut to keep the dead in and the living out…”
Protaganist, “Ring of coffin nails around us, bury us in our symbolic coffin…”

Character X, “He is fucking mental, isn’t he?”

Character 2, “Mental is the fact he was carrying those in his pocket for just this sort of occasion.”

So, alongside my assorted project folders I have one labelled ‘fragments’. This is where I keep things that were neat ideas, but didn’t seem to have enough life in them to actually be anything more then just a little small blurb or a blip. It has a lot of interesting quotes in it, copies of some wacky statistical stuff, copies of bits of found photography and imagery, and lots of small writing pieces of a scene or a character sketch.

One of my favorite fragments, and something I’ve tried to do a bit with a few times in the past, and one of my longest fragments is this weird little conversation between an angel and devil at a coffee shop. Just the two of them reminiscing and enjoying some pie. Very rough, very unpolished, but a fun little idea.

So it longed to be used for something and it finally linked up with a few other fragments from the folder. Strange bits on urban subcultures. A bit of interesting voodoo lore I read a while back. Pirate lore. Et cetera.

Need to find some urban photography now. Brain needs city juice.
