Bootles is back

Riding the wagon in from LazyTown - Mr Bootles returns....

Met with my good friend Blair last night at Panara Bread.

Have you ever been to Panara? Really great place. They have bread, sandwiches, coffee, tea, salads - and - get this -

Free Internet Connections.

Not some stupid Starbucks pay plan through Verizon or something like that.

No.

Panara has it open for all. And they encourage you to hang out all day. Just move to a smaller table at meal times...

Cool Cool Place.

Enough with the shilling....

So Blair and I return to our favorite haunt to try to pick up a few tattered pieces of the story we started a couple weeks ago when he showed up to help art direct for a day.

I had taken the scattered idea and put some of it to paper... Throwing a few scenes into the air and seeing where they landed.

As tradition would have it - I am willing to jump in and start coming up with scenes long before there is a story or motivations.

As tradition would have it - Blair does not like to come up with scenes before there is story or motivations.

So.

We began the night in the traditional writers way.

We watched a show on the internet - courtesy of the orphan. Thanks Kyle.
We talked about our families.
We bitched about our jobs.
We gossiped about the people we knew.
We complained about everything.
We went to the bathroom.
We looked up stuff on the internet.

And when they told us it was closing time -

We in earnest began to come up with stuff for the script.

Needless to say - after much debating, sweating and a little inspiration -

We broke the back of the story.

We know the open - and know what the close is - and where it is going.

Now all we gotta do is come up with the rest - which is everything.

Oh yeah - check out Blair's blog - he actually posted!
