Writer's Block

So I’m at a writer’s block with what I want to shoot this semester. Fucking fuck. Yeah, I have some ideas but I don’t know if I really give a shit about any of them. I feel like there all half ass and the potential within in the scripts I have started on are not worth pursuing.

I came up with a new idea last night while I was on the way home in Brooklyn from this restaurant that has this beautiful cashier. It’s a family oriented business, I’m sure, so it somehow makes her a little more accessible. I then began to fantasize about events that could have taken place with her. I started to write them down, but now I’m having trouble figuring out if this script works or not.

I asked my roommate, what he thought of my base root idea. He patiently listened, then told me not to think about it. He told me to just write everything down, and decided later whether or not it was a good idea . . . so that’s what I’m doing.

I guess it has potential but whether or not it’s going to be effective is up to my god damn mood.

Here’s the Back Story:

94% of the time I’m thinking about females

90% of the time I think about ways to approach them

80% of the time I “fantasize” about something terrible happening to them so I can come save them, sweep them off their feet, and be declared a hero.(Who the fuck needs an “in” when you can just save them from a burning building).

So that’s precisely my foundation to the story.

Here’s the Idea:

It begins with our character Jon (yeah I know) who is perhaps lonely and lives by himself. He enters a pizza parlor, only a couple of blocks from him and immediately notices the cashier behind the counter is gorgeous, he places his order, stares at her awkwardly, and pays with his credit card. Once given the receipt he decides to make bold move and leaves his first name and phone number. He quickly retreats back to his apartment.

Upon arrival he realizes he’s missing his keys and remembers that he had left them back at the parlor. Jon regretfully turns his ass back around into the cold and back to the restaurant. Though once he returns no one is in the restaurant. After knocking on the window a man appears and opens the door and tells him they’re closed. Jon informs him that he has left his keys. The man hesitantly lets him inside to retrieve his keys. Shortly there after Jon realizes he’s in the midst of a robbery and joins the rest of the victims, including the young woman whom he had left his number for earlier. After a long intricate, violent, vulgar scene Jon assists and saves everyone at the parlor. He also wins the affection of the young girl whom he has a liking for.

The film cuts back to Jon at his apartment door, where he begins to fish for his keys again. He finds them, then lets himself in. After setting his pizza down, he opens up the box to find a napkin with a young woman’s name and phone number.

We’ll see if the script is any good . . .
