#tv spec script

Yeah it was a while ago but like, ignore the details it's the thought that counts.

DELCO/DOUBLE D: You can't just waltz into an office like this. You need a distraction.

R.J.: No one's here.

DELCO/DOUBLE D: But it's almost lunch which means this place is will be swarming with too curious kids and their inadequate parents.

R.J.: Fine. What distraction were you thinking of?

New Girl - Jenga Tournament  

I'm a huge fan of New Girl - it's light hearted and silly.  I submitted this spec to "NBC's Writers on The Verge" but have not gotten a word from them. So in celebration of the premiere, I decided to release the spec on the site. Tell me what you think! 

Synopsis 

In this episode, Jess breaks Nicks laptop, destroying his Zombie Novel, while Schmidt and Winston enter a Jenga Tournament.

I am trying to write a spec script for a television show, because if I am going to write, I think it would be awesome to write for a comedy show. Also, I once wrote a spec script in college but it's now two years old and horribly outdated. Also pretty terribly written. I got either a B+ or A- on it which looking back was really too high of a grade. I think my saving grace was I wrote a character who was supposed to be terrible at jokes, and apparently I write awesome terrible jokes that are funny in how terrible they are.

I don't know where that leaves me, other that writing for children's shows. Except I would be way too inappropriate for that.

I put in a whole half hour today of writing, and by writing, I mean outlining. This was after a two hour debate of whether I should actually change the show I'm writing for. I almost picked a dumber show so that it would be easier to write, but then I remembered I am submitting this to a program I have no hope of getting into anyway, so I might as well go all the way. Who cares if the script is literally falling apart! I'm not getting in, this is about getting back to writing scripts, silly. And remembering to start repeating this process every six months until I die/get somewhere.

So even after a whole half hour of writing, I hit that road block where I've just been thinking too much and my brain hurts so I guess I came to blogging so I don't lose writing stamina. Because writing without having to really think is the definition of blogging, right? 

Also, today marks the day I finally got moving in the independent housing direction. One of two future roommates dropped out of moving out with us, which is actually helpful because now me and the other girl can move forward a lot easier. Which means soon, I will no longer be a girl blogging from the spare home office room/part-time chihuahua sitter, and will be a girl blogging from an empty bedroom/probably part-time barista to afford rent! I have to take baby steps into this whole adult thing, it seems. Foreseeable other adult babysteps: 1) actually affording a mattress for said apartment, 2) can include fancy add-ons to bills like cable television, 3) actually having a surplus to my monthly income/output, like, ten dollars at this rate would be awesome.
