The Great Works Project

  • From the desk of Thomas Typewriter…09-07-2020

    First off, let me say thank you to everyone who reached out with a kind word regarding the paintings. Thank you. The Great Works Project continues to move forward. The scripts are on schedule with Season Two, Episode Twelve all set for publishing next Wednesday. Being that it is the final episode of Season Two, I would like to take some time and compile all the episodes into one collection. It will take me a few weeks to compile and format then onto Season Three. I am thinking that it might be time to set up a character…

  • updating…

    Progress moves forward on The Great Works Project.  The scripts, or storytelling side of it, are moving along. Season Two’s finished scripts are on schedule. I should be able to keep to a schedule of a new script every other week. As for the rough drafts, I am nearing the end of writing out Season Five. The list, or cultural side of it, is moving along as well. The previous three assignments did not really grab my attention. Alien was well-made and suspenseful, but I just couldn’t finish it. The same with Alien Lanes from Guided By Voices.…

  • From the desk of Thomas Typewriter, August 10th, 2020 edition

    When I was growing up, I had this overwhelming feeling that the world had lulled. As in, I felt like maybe I had been born in one of the times that was not too volatile nor too peaceful. The savagery is in the past and the wonders are in the future. I look back at that naive kid and shake my head. You had it so wrong buddy. I am still on furlough from my day job. No answer for when the movie theatre will reopen. I miss movies. Movies and museums.  But with every sour, there can…

  • The Script Illuminated – rough sketching

    While writing The Great Works Project, I am aware of the fact someone might actually try to stage this thing. While I view the script and the reading of the script as the medium, I do wonder how it will hold up when transferred off the page. How does it hold up to reinterpretation? To explore that idea I am going to try my hand at reinterpreting The Great Works Project. Maybe I’ll learn something in the process.
