So I'm in trouble. It's not exactly writer's block, since the words are coming. It's just that the words are bad. The writing is bad. I'm pretty certain it's just a phase, but it's one of the most depressing things that happens to me. I'm getting nowhere in my play, and I've lost the drive to keep my "episodes" going.
My problem is drama. I can write flippant stuff, cynicsm, sarcasm, banter, but I can't write drama. I can't write tragedy so that it comes off as something gripping, something touching. It drags, and I inevitably leave the screen with a feeling of "what is this mess?" Ugh.
I can't figure out if I'm depressed because my writing is lousy, or if my writing is lousy since I'm depressed.
- Ohio State beat Michigan by 3 points.
- Happy Feet got more money than the new Bond flick.
- Prison Break keeps killing off characters. This is a good thing.
- The dad on Heroes is my favorite character. I hope he survives the night.
