The Life and Times of Billy Hughes: July 2009
http://rememberbillyhughes.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. For What It's Worth. January 2, 2002. Rooftop of the CNN Center. At 9:37pm on December 23. 2001, Billy left a voicemail on my cell phone. I didn’t get it until nearly midnight because I was MC'ing the office party. This actually makes it easier to say. Um Heh, still kinda weird to say . . . but I’m joining the army. I’ve been reading and watching everything they’ve been doing over there and I think I could really help. I wonder what boot camp’s gonna be like? Since I can fly?

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. McKay Books' first Internet promo! Saturday, September 10, 2011. Mean Man and The Ruffians. How long has it been since the last Ruffians. Nope Just checked Vimeo. It's been four months. For a project that I said I wanted to shoot one a month, why's it taken me so long to follow up the third episode? Two words: Mean. Man. In episode 4 of The Ruffians. Kept trying to take over the episode and this episode of The Ruffians. Opened up and revealed itself to me. It's still going ...

Saturday, May 19, 2012. I'm not sure if I like pretending these are from someone who can't remember how the script really went, or if these are from some abandoned first draft of these now-famous scripts. The first one (from Apocalypse Now. Came from Stop Podcasting Yourself. The rest (and future ones) are mine. Labels: first draft hollywood. Thursday, May 3, 2012. Then I listen to Henry Jackman's score for X-Men: First Class. It helps me. Maybe it'll help you, too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Simple tem...

had an idea today...: End of Draft 1
http://scottfogg.blogspot.com/2012/11/end-of-draft-1.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. End of Draft 1. Stop looking at me like that. I haven't been ignoring - well, okay, actually, that's a lie. I have. Been avoiding you, but it's been for a good cause. I've just completed the first draft of what will hopefully be the first of many adventures of Phileas Reid. It started like this:. And ended like this:. I've had a great many distractions. Then then it's off to the publishers and my dreams will be in the hands of English majors. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://scottfogg.blogspot.com/2012/11/artist-needed.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. As I begin the second draft of Phileas Reid Knows We're Not Alone. I want to get the ball rolling on the next step, which is publication. The dream, of course, is to be able to walk into any given book store and find copies of this adventure in the young adult section - which means I'm preparing myself for a lot of rejection letters from a lot of major publishing companies. Because, ultimately, everyone. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Stories From...

Wednesday, November 28, 2012. I'm reading the first draft and boy, is it rough. There's the occasional passage or paragraph that makes me smile with pride, but most of these sentences are making my shudder. I still like the story and I try to remind myself of that: This story is. Good It just needs to be told better. The reader deserves that. And I need to be able to sleep at night, knowing I've crafted the best book I could and that it's not out there, embarrassing me. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Then, ...

I was doing air-aerobics over the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, who were high-kicking the morale of the men. I don’t know why I’m here. I know why. Here, and I’m totally behind it, but what am I doing here? PS: I feel like a complete idiot including this, but could you take a look at this contract Warner Brothers sent me? Timothy "T...

The Life and Times of Billy Hughes: August 2009
http://rememberbillyhughes.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. August 7, 2002. Wednesday morning begins at 3am. My cell phone is going off. Glows on the screen. I hit “answer” and then clear my throat into the receiver to let him know that (A) I was there and (B) that he had had woken me up. It’s three in the morning. Do you know where your superkid is? It takes me a second to realize what he’s said and then I’m instantly awake. Turn on your television. I scramble for the TV remote and flick on the television. What’s going on? What are you ...
