12.1.21

Today is a special day because the date is a palindrome. I’ve been thinking about writing screenplays and prose and the difference between different types of writing. I feel committed to the iphone project being a movie, but I also feel excited by the idea of writing something that’s final form is print first, just to get my foot in the door. 

So for the print project, I’m thinking not a full on novel but maybe short stories. But also reading Camden Joy inspired me to realize that a novel can have many different parts and take place in different situations and different voices. There’s something about writing for print that feels old timey and because of that I want to write about the present as well as the past. Whereas with the movie I feel more down to just focus on 2007, june 29th 2007 exactly, and really go into the visuals. 

So my hopes and dreams for the print project: 

Autofiction basically 

I want there to be a character who’s a poet so I get to just write poetry from the perspective of this character, which seems easier than writing poetry from my point of view.
