The Filibuster


So I just finished a writing session with the Gypsy... And I think we spent more time enduring tortuous filibusters and debates on who knew the most about cross-dressing men in London, than actually revising the script. I mean we were so caught up with this burden of proof that it almost appeared like we were defending our creative integrity...

The winner of the debate would be able to add or delete certain defining details about the love interest of the film, meaning there would be a chance that one of the central characters (the love interest) could possibly be misunderstood throughout the entire film as a part time cross-dresser...

By the end of the debate the Gypsy deemed herself as the winner with one important cultural tidbit, that I was totally ignorant of, apparently all British men are secret cross-dressers and thats why they enjoy all those costume parties so much.. Who knew......

this is why i find working w/ partners extremely difficult. i always get a little frustrated and depressed when it takes over 5 minutes for the other person to realize that i am right when it comes to everything. this is probably why i'm a novel writer now as opposed to a screenwriter.
