Thanks for the praise, Jon! It was pretty ambitious, but the revision process, I’m sure, will prove even more ambitious. Gotta bang it out in a month, which means edits, proofreading, but also additions, subtractions, and who knows what else to make this book sing!

Ten pages at day, four days a week, equals seven weeks. That’s a lot of discipline, a two month marathon. Congrats, Jon.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to comment, Jessica. I’m happy to hear my post inspired you. I like to share the things I take away out of this world, and the one thing I do most is write, so I take a ton of lessons from that, especially now with this whole book writing experience; it’s very different from screenwriting and especially poetry writing. But whether a person is a writer, filmmaker, or just a traveler on the road to knowledge or the next best thing, I like to think these lessons can be applied not only to writing, but to living as well. Thanks again for reading!

Your writing about writing inspires me, even though i know nothing about making films.
You speak to the process and the practical nature of the urge to do it…that, I enjoy.
Just wanted to write out my thoughts here:)

Comment on From Television to Tomorrow’s Vision by Trigonis

You definitely come from a deeper sci-fi background than I do, Terry, and that's awesome in my book! Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. My brother was very much into The Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, and Star Trek, so I got a bit of my love for sci-fi from him. I used to watch the newer episodes of The Outer Limits (circa 1990s, I believe?) and some of those sorta freaked me out, but I don't think I've ever watched the original series. I'm gonna check into Night Stalker; the title sounds familiar, though I don't know if I'd ever watched the show. And the name "Doctor Cadaverino" just made my morning, my friend! That's awesome!

Thanks for adding some further station identification to the TV conversation, David. Wow, T.J. Hooker, eh? I remember seeing a few episodes of that show, along with Kojak, Hawaii Five-O and Matlock (my Dad liked those courtroom type shows.) But it seems T.J. Hooker taught you some very valuable lessons, and that's awesome! And I agree 100% about Optimus Prime (although Rodimus Prime came a long way in the later seasons of Transformers.) And my favorite parts of the G.I. Joe cartoons were always the "Knowing is half the battle" closings, which taught me many interesting thing, specifically that knowledge is power. Thanks again for taking the time to share, David, and I'm glad you enjoyed the post!
