Writer Block
The strangest thing has happened after watching Quentin Tarantino’s latest teaser trailer for his forthcoming movie ‘Inglorious Basterds’, he’s made me excited about writing again.
How can a trailer, not even a fully baked one at that make me want to finish what I started? Simple, a few carefully chosen words that appeal to me and stick in my head just captured my imagination. My favourite part is when Pitt steps in closer to the camera and says ' …and I want my scalps'. It’s a line, but it summed up the movie. I love the pause just before the delivery of the line.
I can definitely attest to the fact that writing a script (for whatever medium the script is ultimately used for) is damn difficult. I miss it and I really wish I can keep this enthusiasm up, just enough for me to finish the script that has been gathering dust for the last 5 years.
