No, I'm not prepared to go on stage just yet. But why can't my free thoughts translate well into written word? When doing presentations in class, I find that I'm actually disabled by having notes set in front of me. I can't have boundaries. I have to be able to pick and choose what to say as I go along.
Now, my dream in life is to be writer. I want to pen the novels you read and the movies you watch. Since I have trouble sticking to things that I write down, is there a way for me to come up with a movie on the fly? I mean, as we film? Sure, I'll have a basic premise for the whole thing but I want to be able to just do what strikes my mood at the time. If I was a comedian, I don't think I would have a set of jokes. I think I'd just go up there and I say whatever I'm thinking about.
I think that my maverick style of doing things is certainly a gift. (Can I say maverick or has the McCain/Palin campaign copyrighted it?) I'm trying to figure out how I can apply it. So, we faithful two readers, what am I destined to do? Television Personality is the answer. Mo Rocca is doing it. I'll make sure to apply the same place he did.

I have to say the word "maverick" does make my stomach turn a little.
I think you can write, you might should just not think to much about it. Of course you must research, plan, edit and rewrite. But if you are charming and witty when you ad-lib, you shouldn't be trying to force it into your writing.
As I was reading this, images of you as Perez Hilton, dishing out the latest celebrity gossip on E!, kept flashing through my head. Now I'm thinking that may not be such a bad place for you, after all.
VIVA LA MAVERICK
