Elevator Music Can Be Good Music Too Update 12 ~ [1/27/12]

          This is going to be short. I'm going to have to update this again a few days. I'm so late putting this up because my Internet (also land line) have been out for a few days and AT&T fixed it about 3 hours ago.

          First. Elevator Music music is NOT ending! I finish the rough draft of Episode 2's Script: Silence On Radio Monday. It is not below, because I wrote the entity of the script in my notebook and haven't had the time to type in all up. So, expect that in a few days.

          Second. I'm taking a little break from this. Why? The same reason I needed to before. School. This is my last semester and I want to keep it that way. Also, beside my core classes, I'm also taking a screenwriting class with my friend. In that class we have a semester long project--write a full fledged feature length movie script. And it's a lot of work. Working on two big story project at the same time plus all the work for my core class is a bit daunting. I'll post my Script for that up on the blog, so look out for that.

          Third. I still going to work on EM, just slower pace. I want to have an outline for both Episode 3 and 4 done by Update 13, as well as have an improved version of Episode 1 Script, too.

Seeya, next time.

P.S.: Check out Bosnian Rainbows' first single: Torn Maps
        You can buy it for a $1 in the link. It's really good.
        Bosian Rainbows is Omar Rodríguez-López's new project while Mars Volta is on hiatus.

UPDATE 1 (1/31/13): I have finished typing the script. It is in the Google Drive Folder. You can find the links below. Please give it a while and comment on it.

Elevator Music Can Be Good Music Too Update 11 ~ [12/30/12]

          This update is late because I am having several problem with focusing the story and my working habits. Compounding this is the fact that was a very busy and odd month--Finals, stomach virus. Plus there is that fact that I'm losing motivation partly because of me lack of a way to focus this project and partly because of the lack of interest in the project from anyone. But I forging forward right now. But I obviously need a plan and a solid one or next month I'll be right here again.

          Really the only this I can fix is my work plan and the story. The problem here is that I haven't set up proper goals and more importantly deadlines in a decent amount of time. So, that is what I'm going to do: Set up a specific focused goal with a deadline. First Setting A Goal should be done right. It's needs to be...

1. Specific
2. Measurable
3. Have a deadline
4. Written down
5. Review constantly

          Now, before I get started on my goal. I make something clear to myself. I've been stressing out about fixing the First Episode, but now that it is done I can always come back to it and make my fixes. I need to work on the next episodes right now. So this goal is specifically going to focused on Episode Two.

My Goal

• Finish Episode Two of Elevator Music by the next Update [1/27/13] (About a month's time)

          Goal and deadline is good to have but also needs to accompanied by a course of action. In other words I need a plan on how I'm going to achieve this goal.

My Course of Action

• 10 scenes, 12 scenes max (excluding intro narration and credits, but include final scene)
• 25-30 pages, 32 pages max
• Daily writing. At least 1 hour. Goal is a page or scene a day
• Finish write a detailed outline of Episode Two first Link to Outline
• Stop working on Episode One this month completely. Focus on Episode Two

          This is my current goal and plan for the next month. I don't have a new draft for you guys to see this Update, but you can check out the Script for Episode One from the Update 10 below. Also, I did make a few changes to that Script when you can find in the Early Access folder of the Elevator Music Google Drive Folder also located before. Not too many changes.

Script for First Floor (Season 1; Episode 1 - Pilot) [Partial-11/25/12]: Here
Google Drive Folder [On-going; Updated On 1/12/13]

UPDATE 1 (1/13/12): Check Google Drive Folder > Early Access Folder for the Episode 2 Outline and Beginning Draft! Also, the slightly updated Episode 1 Script from December is there too with some of my comments both on Script and on the Google Drive comments section on that doc. Lastly, on the Google drive stuff you can leave and see comments by simply hitting the button on the top right labeled as 'Comments'. Sometimes I put my own extra notes there as well.

UPDATE 2 (1/6/13): I finished the outline and I like it. I have renewed hope! But I think it is vitally important that I finish a complete draft of episode 2 by the 27th or not continue with the story. Heavy, I know, but if I'm going to work--I need to work. What's a challenge without coincidences?
