What - what - what is a Howler?
The moon light shimmers on the CLAWED HANDS that remain at its side. Its BODY is totally BLACK, it looks like it wares an all in one black body suit, but this could be its skin. Its FACE, not seen clearly in this light is pale, oval, with what appear to be black, BUTTON SHAPED EYES - they are not holes; they rest on top of the face, like buttons sewn on to material. The TEETH shimmer as they move, like large KNIVES lined up in a row, as it opens its mouth slightly, before snapping back its neck and letting out an ear piercing HOWL.
Above is an excerpt from episode two of Nowhere Land entitled 'I Think My Mind Must Be Broken'.
Kinda got back on track today with writing, spent the last couple of days rethinking the episode and blocking it out beat for beat. I think it works, i am just worried that it only being episode two i am showing too much, i am moving too much with the plot. But only eight episodes it needs to. i have characters, and although i don't need to rely on plot and this show is not a plot heavy show, in terms of plot only fuck the characters, this is a show that needs its characters to respond to the plot. Drama, basically. I have put someone into a new environment who knows noone and there fore needs a catalyst to move and react and live and breath. Besides, no plot, no story and no show, it would be boring and not worth writing. But at the same time character is very important, aside from the plot they drive it forward. you can't have one without the other is what i am gradually getting to. character and plot are one and the same, a character can be the plot and as this is all occuring inside the mind of the protagonist, never has this idea of charcter is plot been more true.
CURRENTLY LISTENING TOO: Porcupine Tree - Metanoia (60 mins of prog experimentation and improvisation... ahhh bisto!)
CURRENTLY WATCHING: Angel season 5, The Shield season 5, Veronica Mars season 2, Lost season 2, Batman Beyond season1
CURRENTLY READING: Girl friends travel journal, 52, Detective Comics, Y The Last Man
CURRENT MOOD: Fucking hot man!
