Alright, so I'm still in the mists of reading the three F. Scott Fitzgerald books I checked out of the library. I'm almost done; I'm currently reading the last one (The Basil and Josephine Stories). Then I'm going to read The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick and start a new series of posts.
A way to always have posts and to buy time when I have a stall in inspiration is to start a series. At first I thought this was going to be a one time thing because I can't easily get my hands on film scripts. However, I think this series will be fun and I'm going to try as hard as I can to find the scripts.
I sort of started this series before with this post and now I want to take it to another level. I love reading novels that have a film counterpart then watching the film. But if I'm completely honest with myself, I'd rather read scripts than watch films. That's the extreme screenwriter enthusiast in me. A 'Novel Adaptation' series is perfect for me. I also think it's going to be fun for me because I took an Adaptation class sophomore year of film school and it gave me a bit of experience and insight into the art of adaptation.
I learned that with all adaptations you have to determine what the story means to you before you can write the screenplay. Translating the text from the novel verbatim into a screenplay doesn't necessarily give it a story with a meaning and subtext.
The series is going to be like most of the posts I write: a comparison between the two interpretations of one story, what I liked and disliked about them and, of course, if I recommend reading the book or seeing the film.
The Nail Polish x Novels series is also still alive. I just haven't had any inspiration to make one. I'm going to make an effort in the coming weeks to make another post like that. Those are my most girlie posts and sometimes it's good to be a little girlie.
Recently, I've been missing True Blood SO much. I feel like it's been a year since the season 5 finale (it's technically only been about seven months). I'm missing True Blood so much, I've read and re-read the Trivia on their IMDb page and numerous articles about who the new showrunner will be. The last show I missed this much was Gossip Girl and to ease the suck that is waiting, I read all the books in the Gossip Girl series. So guess what I'm going to do now? Yup! I always wanted to read the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, but I got so distracted it never happened. Now I have a major obligation to myself to read the series until True Blood starts again. And also after season 5 ends because it's going to be a shortened season.
I can't wait!
