Here’s the problem. I have these flashes of these amazingly vivid movie sequences and plots that A. disappear from my head if I don’t write them down immediately (and I rarely do) and B. they never get fleshed out into even a simple written idea. Why is it that I can create an entire movie in my head that I KNOW is good….but I simply cannot get it onto paper? It’s very discouraging.
And yes, I’ve heard it all: Just do it. Just start writing. Blah Blah Blah.
All I know is that it is going to be a man’s experience with cancer, family, death, dreams, the search for a new life and the realization that maybe he had everything he needed in the first place.
Hmm…not bad for a premise. So, I say to myself….just start typing….
