Oh! Those came up in one of our long discussions of teaching, last summer I think. Probably in Natter.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

I'm sure it is mondo expensive. Though I wonder what the software was that was organizing his murder board data. Maybe that is more reasonably priced and I could just pretend I was running it on a touchscreen LCD.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
No name is springing to mind, of course, but there is software that will create cloud diagrams like that.

I really liked the drop down/pop up/whatever it is actually called feature.
Sometimes, when I'm outlining, I'll have notes about a beat -- a funny line I want to remember, the tone a scene should have, etc. -- so I'd like to be able to include those somewhere. But I also want to be able to hide those notes so I can see just the beats in order and figure out what I'm missing.
I have no idea if that made any sense outside of my head.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm the whack job who just keeps notebooks. Part of it is my own addiction to blank journals, so I figure I should use them for something. The other is my own linear writing style-- the thought of breaking things down into arcs and turning points and beats makes me twitch.
But dang, that board was way cool.

Perfect, total, utter sense.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I wonder if a system could be made to white board my design process.
I just missed the Life teaser. Did I miss anything important?

Just holy-shit-awesomeness.
Roman kills the interviewer, takes the video camera and wander the halls of his lair, showcasing men with guns and dogs and women giggling and men drinking and playing cards, then revealing Dani bound to a chair with a hood over her head. She spits at the camera and looks gorgeous doing so. He changes the tape and tells her to talk. She says "Crews" and the scene goes to static and titles.

I'm not sure if structure is what made TV writing my thing or if learning to write TV molded my brain around structure. Since I can't remember, it will probably always be a chicken or egg type question.

Life is making me twitch (in a good way).
My hands were shaking as I hit the remote to see if there was any time left.
eep!
