I started writing a script a few weeks ago, and I'm in the process of nit-picking (editing) it. It's about four writers living in a house together and the dramas that inspire them to write what they do. I'm a firm believer in the importance of writers, and also that to be a great writer (of any kind) you need to experience some sort of emotional turmoil that you can pour into your writing like me when I'm putting gravy on to my roast dinner (I like to drown things).
The script that I'm working on is the first part of six, and the idea was to have each episode a play on a cliché. For instance, the first one is called "Wham, Bam, No Thanks, Man" after "Wham, Bam, Thank You Mam." The second one is currently called "You're Not The One That I Want" but I don't like it. I came up with a better title a while ago, but I can't remember what it was, and it's really starting to piss me off. Damn me and my stupidly bad memory!
Even Googling clichés hasn't helped. It takes me to all the same sights and they're useless for finding things. Perhaps I should change my ways (for once) and go for a different angle on things.
We shall see...
