I remember some popular books on screenplay writing suggesting to the authors that thye should have the ability to tell the whole story in few words and then breakdown the whole into pieces of detail and have some background behind (that do not show up in the script but completes the universe of the protagonists as their "come from" and "go to").syncmitterhttp://twitter.com/syncmitternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385802817303073404.post-79969279982792501372008-12-17T18:55:00.000-08:002008-12-17T18:55:00.000-08:00I have noticed that almost everything on TV is muc...I have noticed that almost everything on TV is much more dumb than before. There are of course the few exceptions like CSI, and of course CNBC where it is still semi smart. I think CNBC is the only smart news out there but the only focus on business. Maybe it is because they know people need to be smart to make money in the markets. <BR/><BR/>I really wish they could make a news show that is for us thinkers out there. Even in the written media I see the same trend, only the business magazines seem to still have deep and thoughtful articles.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483603494726164338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385802817303073404.post-62821781288108182452008-11-16T14:31:00.000-08:002008-11-16T14:31:00.000-08:00I'm all in as well.

This new media model is much more democratic (the non-political small d), where anyone that wants "in" can get in. While success is by no means guaranteed, at least we all have a fighting chance to control our own destiny, something that the old model did not allow.Jeff Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026506425936771550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385802817303073404.post-16683476824308826762008-11-14T08:52:00.000-08:002008-11-14T08:52:00.000-08:00Jeff:Well, that's a good point.

In the old days of the letter networks, for example, ABC, NBC, and CBS captured just about everyone who had eyes and a TV. Not only were the networks monopolistic gatekeepers, but they were aggregators, the likes of which we will never see again! Old media had the luxury of only having to sweat to get content into VERY FEW places and then their work was done. They had "captured" nearly everyone.<BR><BR/>Today, by contrast, and in regards to all these new media methods of publishing, the content creator must now exert tremendous effort to get their content into all sorts of places. The effort that must go into aggregation of eyeballs has absolutely skyrocketed. Moreover, this effort now more than ever, requires intense creator involvement as the publisher is increasingly unwilling to fund or participate in this new media marketing effort.<BR/>I'm experiencing the fact that while the "new way" gives me many more options, this "new way" is costing me far more money and time, proving once again - you don't get something for nothing.<BR/>good luck to us all!<BR/>Jeff BachJeff Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026506425936771550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385802817303073404.post-85339779037504257442008-11-14T07:08:00.000-08:002008-11-14T07:08:00.000-08:00Never thought of talent and craft like this.

The writing is pretty atrocious, but the interesting thing is one of the "novelists" got a computer as a gift and began typing on it, and suddenly, her sentences became more complex. I guess it's a good thing in that any sort of reading is good--and also, if it jumpstarts people off the textnovel and into more complciated novels, well that's good, too.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724359857107668407noreply@blogger.com
