I'm No John August, but I Wish I Was.

I semi-regularly read the blog of John August, the writer of numerous screenplays and even a few movies. It's always a good read and everytime I stumble upon the link in my bookmarks folder I end up spending the rest of my night catching up on what he's been up to.

Tonight is sort of one of those nights and I even managed to find this quote from Mr. August that sums up why this night is likely to be fully realized as one of those nights:

For instance, I feel exactly the same way about screenwriting now as when I first started, back when I was sleeping on the floor and eating Ramen Noodles. That is: I kind of hate writing, but I love having written. I would rather do almost anything than sit down and write a scene. But having written it, then reading it back? Pure gravy.
