Little Bo Peep

Okay, guys--I'm going to have to issue another one of my stern roll calls.... if you are here and reading my blog, you have to say so! Otherwise this is what happens: I open up my blog, see that I have no new comments, and I say to myself, "Well, guess not everyone has read that one yet." Or sometimes when I'm in a bad mood (like today), I say, "Why should I give them free entertainment when they don't entertain me?" Either way I don't write, and you are bored. So you see why you should do your part? Becky has superfans, she writes more things, she is entertained, you are entertained, and everybody wins. So. Here is the plan. I will try to write a question for you to answer every day. I will write it again at the end so you don't forget. And, if you don't want to answer it, just say hello or write what your big plan is for the day. That way I know you're here and the Beckybloggyverse has not only a new post to read, but fun comments from you. Go.

I am eating stale tostada shells in my cube because I'm hungry but I've got work still to finish so I can't go home yet, but I'm too mopey to get it done. Such a sad picture.

Listened to Lionel Richie this morning. He's good, but it wasn't strong enough medicine I guess.

Last night I went to Whedonesque, 'cuz every so often I do that, to see what's going on with the Whedonverse, (shhhh! SHHHH! I can hear you whispering to each other already), and I found a link to one of the writers' websites. It's her blog, actually, and she gives you tips on how to write scripts. Good stuff, actually. So now that's what I'm going to do--write a script for a scene. Wait for my fledgling attempt:

This is hard.

Wow, okay, I have been at this for at least 2 hours. I've written and deleted probably hundreds of words. But there are so many things to worry about! You gotta decide what you want to happen, a genre, and within that genre, a conflict and resolution, and then you gotta divide up the action between characters, so you gotta make characters and decide what they're gonna be like, give them intriguing layers and keep them consistent from one moment to the next while still developing them continuously, and the whole thing doesn't work unless you have not only believable characters but believable relationships between those characters, so that takes a lot of work--deciding how these characters feel about each other and finding a way to show that in the script as well as give the audience some reason to feel the same way...

It is very tricky. Wow.

Okay, well I am not done. Script not ready for debut yet (if ever). Sorry for the false alarm.

As previously stated, I am in a bad mood, so I don't have many fun things to write. So here is your question.

What is your favorite holiday and why?
