On… new writing and new music 3 Replies Two cool new TV projects dropped in my lap in January, gang. So obviouslah, I needed some new music to listen to while I’m playing make believe in my head. Writing, for me, starts with daydreaming. And then, if an idea comes, scribbling it – whatever it is; characters, plot ideas, dialogue – down as fast as I can, on paper, on my iPhone, on my hands, inside of book jackets in the middle of the night when I’m too asleep to get some actual paper but too scared of losing the idea, anywhere. Yes, it’s incredibly annoying for the people around me. Where was I? Yes. New music. (Or new old music.) This is what I’m listening to: Nana Adjoa – Late Bloomer Gizzle – Get Loud For Me The Beatles – It Won’t Be Long Gin Wigmore – Kill Of The Night Dum Dum Girls – Coming Down Electric Six – I Buy The Drugs The Cure – Close To Me Gary Clark Jr – Come Together The Romantics – What I Like About You Iggy Pop – Candy Harry Nilsson – One
On… bad news 3 Replies Bad news, gang. ABC did not pick up Mavericks. It’s okay, shhhhh, it’s okay. Hug it out. Better? Okay. Yes. They picked up a bunch of cop shows and procedurals, and just one other sex-filled relationship soap so far – an Eva Longoria produced/starring show, set in a hotel in Miami. Who can blame them? I want to watch Eva Longoria in a sexy hotel soap in Miami, don’t you? Anyway, it’s disappointing, but it’s a pretty darn good script so it might find another home… I’ll keep you posted. x
