Joy of Internet/Podcast

If you are reading my blog, you must know the hottest trend on the Internet at the moment, accoring to MY Internet watch, is podcast. I listen to a few in my commute and I recently came across Graham Hawkes's interview podcast where he talks about exploring ocean with his innovative approach to undersea exploration.

The greatest joy of Internet surfing is coming across a gem like this that fuels my imagination and provides ideas for my scripts, in this case, Dark Tide Rising--that's a tentative title until God drops few more clues toward the perfectly fitting title for this story. With burning passion, I parked my rear and wrote first 15 pages in flash, setting my heroes to explore the deep sea in hopes of retreiving a sunken nuclear submarine. A feel good start, as a writer, but now I have to make the rest of the rope, and tie its end nicely.

One of my dear friend, who regularly proofreads my scripts, told me that I have interesting ideas, but I lack overall structure that holds them together. Ouch! He also mentioned that I start off great, but he notices the pattern that I get tired at the end. Ouch! I'm working to amend those and one of the greatest challenges for me, as a writer, is to keeping the flame of my interest to the script I'm writing well alive till its satisfying conclusion. But, hey, there's always rewrites. And more rewrites.

You can learn more about this deepsea exploration at Deep Flight Submersibles Homepage. I plan to walk on the moon, and explore to the deepest part of the ocean in my lifetime. Yeah, so I got to live long, healthy lifem, and cross my fingers for latest medical advacements. (Human desires never know its limits.)
