I’ve been in a great lull lately. I haven’t written music in a while. I thought that would drive me crazy, but it’s actually been a good thing. I don’t know what this means, but I know that I used to be such a control freak when it comes to goals and dreams. Now I just don’t care that much. It’s a nice space to be in.
I actually found something new to work on. It seemed like a tangent at the time or a distraction. But now I’m realizing it’s the main road I am on. Well, the main road for now. Cause I would like to get back to my band. But somewhere in the middle of the witching hour between my dreams and my insomnia (which is pleasantly fading), I found a script for a short film. I really did find it at 4:00 AM. I woke up from an insane dream, I literally woke myself up to pull myself out of the the unsettling dream. And the idea came to me, I saw the characters, I saw frames of it. I typed it up into my phone with my eyelids at half mast. I really wanted to sink back into my bed, but the more I typed, the more ideas came spinning out of me. I’m really excited to see how it writes itself. It’s coming together slowly. There’s not much I can say here about it. But hopefully in the next year I will be getting it together.

All good ideas arrive by chance.

Nighttime is really the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone else is asleep.

Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.
Howard Aiken
There is no idea so stupid or hackneyed that a sufficiently-talented writer can’t get a good story out of it.
