Resolutions

Now is the time to put your New Years resolutions into effect. Don't tell anyone, just get started.

A year ago, I started to change by choosing to eat a certain way. Ever since then I've been growing as a person and I don't plan on stopping.

You can do it.

Untitled Chef Project and Roundtable

Two screenplays in one week. Not bad. Two specs scripts as well, yet to be made.

Untitled Chef Project - Steven Knight, he of The Detectives writing fame, brings us a story of American/French chef who tries to sort his life out. How? By disappearing after a drug bender in his restaurant in Paris and reappearing as clean and sober in London. What I like about it is the fact that the protagonist is horrible to other people. There is reason,  but it is a twisted, selfish one. Quite a fun third act as well.

Roundtable - by Brian K. Vaughan, he of Runaways comic writing fame. Four modern Knights of the British Realm must unite to fight ancient evil. Who better to defend us than, a Richard Branson surrogate, a faded athlete, a scientist and Sir My Cocaine. It didn't grab me too much, but who am I to judge a script that was sold. Plus, no one pushes the pram a lot. 

A couple of apps that are worth checking out: Blinkist for reading summaries of non fiction books. The other is called Focus@will, a productivity app that plays music that improves your concentration as you work. I just used it for two hours with a five minute break in between.
