Max Adams at See Max Run has a nice article on development, which should only serve to disgust and terrify even more neophyte writers than my little continuing series on adaptation is doing. Oh, and that will be picking up again this afternoon, sorry for the hiatus.
It is an interesting commentary on creative process -- back when I was under the most gruelling deadline of my film career, I updated this blog almost obsessively. Now, essentially left to my own devices, my pace has slackened on all my writing. Weird.

Max is pretty good at terrorizing us neophytes. And she does it with such style and panache. Looking forward to the continuation on adaptation...
You know, the timing of this post and the announcement for TF script before it...
Anyway, yeah that's a mess. Now, there is a development with books. But, usually the people behind that have either written or just been in the business to know what the heck makes a story and a quick buck. If you don't have a good story you don't earn the quick buck.
Movie, too many times the focus is lost on the latter. No good story? Who cares? Hey, maybe pretty visuals or the headliner will bring in revenue and DVD sales will cover losses. At least I can imagine that's how they would convince themselves.
