One page of screenplay has around 55-60 lines, with about 30-40 characters/spaces per line of dialogue. And one page of screenplay (assuming that description and other non-dialogue text are minimal) amounts to about a minute on film.
So do the math. How many pages of screenplay do you think it would take to hold the Atlas Shrugged monologue?
Reading āWe Real Cool: Black Men and Masculinityā by Bella Hooks. Wonderful book and while Iām still debating some of the subject matter, it is still a great insight into an alternative opinion on why Black Males are in the state that we are in.
Sci-fi fans will hate me but I couldnāt finish the Forever War. I got bored. I will give it another go as everyone says its one of the best Sci-fi War books since Starship Troopers.
I am almost done with wheel of time. I think it would have been the greatest fantasy series ever if it didnāt have so much bloat in each book. If it was condensed down to 5 books it would be pretty exciting. Right now I am dredging through book 10. Each book has about 150 pages of content and 400+ pages of filler.
Isnāt her name bell hooks? (deliberate lower case)
my blog is over at unknownmeridian.tumblr.com, a lot of my writing is there (all of which is bad). In my sig is short piece I did based around fictional FG players in mid 00ās Cali. Gonna rewrite the entire thing at some point now Iām a lot better at writing, and actually live in the US.
So, I was subbing at my old high school today and was showing off Sheol Must Fall to my 12th grade English teacher. Apparently the writer of Breaking Bad went to my school and made the mural thatās in one of the hallways, so when she saw that I was now on my second published book, she put a good word in with the librarian. Pending a review from the library team, I may be having my first book signing real soon.
Found an online translation of The Life and Death of X, the autobiography of Taiji Sawada, original bass player for X Japan. Book certainly has a different tone now than when it was first published, considering Taiji took his own life about 2 years ago. Translation is still a work in progress and is being done out of order, still insightful regardless. First chapter is all about late guitarist Hideto āhideā Matsumoto.
Itās almost time for NaNo, but I might be jumping the gun early because Iām about to explode with ideas and the mental dam is cracking. Dear GOD Iāve missed this kind of inspiration.
Been getting heavy into Three Kingdoms again, so Iām making that the setting of my story. Any other Dynasty Warriors/ROTK heads in here?
