So.
Yeah.
I haven't updated in over a year. That's okay? Right?
The status on my projects hasn't changed that much. I got a lot done for 'Z', however it's still first draft-y and honestly, looking at it makes me feel worn down.
I'm wondering where I went wrong. Maybe it had something to do with the fact I didn't plan it. I've always been the type of person who keeps calenders, multiple calenders in fact and tries to be organized*
However when it comes to writing, I might write a rough outline, and then jump straight into it and get to know the characters while I write.
This isn't easy for 'Z', I find the random characters that are in the story for a chapter more interesting than my main character, also I suspect that she's a psychopath because she can shrug off almost anything that happens to her.
''Oh I just saw my Bff get ripped apart by 50 seagulls... Cool, I'm hungry, let's go to McDonalds. Then I'll never talk about her again or show any emotion whatsoever :D''**
So, I need to work on her a bit, I decided to write about random stuff about her, stuff I wouldn't ask a real person, and I'm slowly discovering her and finding her, which is pretty good.
I'm still working on the collection of short stories, mainly writing then re-writing and then throwing it all away and starting again.
I'm hoping to write more soon.
* Who am I kidding, I'm never organized.
**Not actually what happens.

First post.
The thing I hate most about starting a blog is the first post. I'm never sure what to write. Should I introduce myself? Hi, I'm Matty, I live in Iceland, there's lava.
This is going to be my writing blog, I aspire to be a screenwriter, or at least get some of my works out there. I wouldn't mind writing for T.v either. I've read about it.
I've been writing since I was 5, my grandmother gave me a notebook to write in. I did loose interest for a while but I seem to be back on track.
I'm currently working on a few projects, most important project this month is 'Crossing Lines' which is a Film-Noir type of movie and I'm doing it for Script Frenzy.
I'm not quite sure where it's going at the moment, I was thinking about setting it in modern day instead of the 1940s, it would be easier to write, but I like a challenge. I'm about 38 pages in, I'm behind but I will try to finish this month.
My inner editor is driving me crazy, so it's getting harder to write, but hopefully I'll pull through.
This blog is also a nice way for me to procrastinate.
