Can You Muthafuckas Say “Stuck”?
March 26, 2007No, I ain’t up Shit Creek without a paddle. I’m at Shit Creek with hole in the bottom of the boat. Damn right it sucks.
Nobody can help by handing me a paddle or trying to bail me out. It just has to give.
Stuck where? Page 78, screenplay. Ironically, my two lead charaters are stuck too. I just need to stop staring at the screen and go go go. Just jump in and move. No life preserver.
Here I go. BTW, there is no shit in Shit Creek, that’s just the name. It is murky water, however. Full of snakes and alligators and slimey things I don’t know about yet, things I am not afraid of.

I’d give you a paddle, but I’m afraid of what you might do with it. You’re still okay, though. I know of some people whose protags are usually kaput and two meters under by page 78. There’s still hope.
Wow, that is a cool avatar, HoneyBunny.
Mine is still a question mark. That is so me.
Actually, I should edit that, I deleted some pages and got down to page 73. I’m back up to page 74.
I think deleting pages is progress. Sometimes you gotta step back into the dogshit to realise there was shit there at all.
And Bunny, it is more like page 50, 78 is beyond optimistic.
Deleting pages is more painful than writing them. I’m going back in, it’s great knowing you two got my back.
Actually, if you think about it, you should be thankful you’ve got pages to delete, in the first place. I can’t believe how ungrateful you are.
Kid, is it your last script that the cemetary gets crowded on page 6?
