Here we go

 A more significant number of stories are sad stories, we know life is a tragedy and those that live tell tales about their struggles and hardships. But the stories that teach us the most are usually the ones that begin like any normal day in your life and end well; in sadness. I watched the first episode of the Decalogue series by Krzysztof Kieślowski. It was about a young bright-eyed cute boy who was a learner. He loved Science which he inherited from his father, a hobbyist in computers, and wanted to answer the questions about who we are and why we are here. I'd watch every day of this boy's life. I'd want to see him do his best and live longer than I ever could. The computers in the film show an aged story, but God, saying things have aged like fine wine is a cliche and even pointing out cliches is one now. There's something about the period of innovation. I've learned that every story can have a grander scale. The best stories are those that teach you about life. And question things like God, the ocean, and the mountains, they're spiritual meditations on life and progression. Some of these stories are told by the city as a character, or the character's spirituality drives the film. Maybe it's something else. I want to figure out how to tell a story like this. It's at the edge of my tongue. How do you tell a story that someone cares about? Should it start and end abruptly? I can't deal with the internet age. There's a story there. The answer is a thought that hasn't been thunk. I looked for stories about science, mathematics, God, and spirituality. I found some which used the film medium so well that I can't understand how I even begin when I'm telling a story like that. I think I'll write episodes. Of my mini-series that I'd thought about. I don't know how it's going to work, but my writing will improve. So will my storytelling. I'll shoot it when I actually can. Sitting on a goldmine of a story is better than telling a story that does not carry any weight to it.


My writing has always been a roller-coaster, it's mostly due to my thoughts being ideas. An idea for a sentence that ends abruptly because ideas change, they evolve and you work them into better ideas. The logline for my mini-series is: character name got into engineering by using illegal means. Now when an investigation begins, he thinks back on all the decisions he made to get there.
