The best part of the end of August is when all the movers and shakers come back from vacation eager to start writing 😃

Looking nice in the new Feedbin app! This year I started writing first thing every morning. So far, 195 hours. All new content. Loads of new feature ideas for my app. A couple bookshelves the way. Best decision.
And I’ll never stop.
Hi. I have a support request.
Let me see what I can do.
OK, fixed. Enjoy.
But the whole WORLD gets to enjoy immediately. 😃
What an amazing time to be alive and writing code.
Terrence Malick AND a story??!
I’m so in.
Also, his trailers always have the best music behind them. First 40 seconds or so are James Newton Howard, but the last?
Henryk Gorecki Symphony No.3, Op.36
Hey Siri, build me a story based on Mission Impossible: Fallout.
“Sry, Jim. I can’t do that. There is no story. Instead, copy and paste the phrase: ‘Walk away’ five or six times, and you’ll be good to go.”
Fifteen years, I chose XM Radio over Sirius because they ran a Film Score channel. I loved listening to movie music while animating. After the merger, they dumped the channel. Today, I discovered Cinemagic is back with the SiriusXM app.
And guess what was playing?
10 hours straight writing. No breaks. 8 hours ago I had the wrong storyform. Ten minutes ago I finished the entire treatment. In five minutes, I’ll go outside.
Fine-tuning the Holistic Premise in Subtext, and this one for Eternal Sunshine feels so perfect…
And just like that, I’m granted access to take Subtext serverless. 😃
Going to be a GREAT weekend!
On the other side of using my app Subtext to write something for high-profile client. This thing is AWESOME…though I can see a TON of stuff I’d like to do to improve it.
Benefits of being the one who put it all together. I can rewrite my own software. 😃
Not really sure what the hubbub was with Little Woods. Pretty sure there was one more Act left to tell. You got Understanding the sit., Doing the selling, Losing the stash and control, then…more Doing? Missing the Learning bit (P.O. finds out, etc). Incomplete storytelling.
Driving down Sunset and blasting the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soundtrack after securing another writing gig. 🦶🏻☀️ 🏝
Friday afternoon story meeting.
This episode of Acquired was great, particularly if you’re like me and building a product for market fit. Rahul’s interviews always inspire, Superhuman is incredible, and the hosts on this show actually engage and ask great follow-up questions.
Definitely one to listen to again.
I love watching this video on Steadfast Main Characters I put together years ago. So good…and still so timely 😁
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood…three hours of watching someone watch a movie. 🙄
Morning writing buddy.
Tenet trailer was totally not worth it 🤣 Wasn’t a total loss. Top Gun on big screen was great, as was Joker which looked phenomenal.
Hobbs & Shaw was a blast.
While rebuilding my system from the ground-up, I forgot to install Hazel–my go to for cleaning up my desktop and keeping everything sane while I work.
Tickets purchased for Hobbs & Shaw tonight. Mostly for the glimpse on the big-screen of Tenet.
But also because I love the Fast & Furious movies 😃
Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far In Foot is evidence that creative constraints are a good thing. With no real Relationship development and under-serviced Overall Story, the film is a chore to get through.
Films with a score less than 80% NEVER have all Four Throughlines.
Ever.
Delightfully surprised by the new way links open in Safari iOS 13:
“Heartfelt thanks for walking with me on my journey,” said Milch, who kept his remarks brief and focused on Deadwood in his speech between standing ovations. “Here’s hoping I have a few more stories left to tell.”
The feeling is mutual.
The Farewell was fantastic. Expertly structured holism that explores burdens worth keeping–particularly when you see yourself as part of a whole, rather than an individual.
Can the foot say to the hand, I have no need of thee? No. Because all are necessary.
The Farewell to Summer with Summer.
