Editing in real time

Is how I get it up, so to speak. I found that my writing brain worked best while improvising and using the iterative thinking that one develops as a filmmaker. Also, I found that it was very difficult to capture all the things that one adds/subtracts during editing without it being live. The liveness helped me, even though mine was a screen media persona. I'm very headstrong. The flush of new excitement is what much of my best work captures. - Sondheim never figured out how to get it up alone, so I take that as a win. - With the Dakumentary, it's literally me doing what Joe Dante did with the Movie Orgy. - I publish corrections, and I make plenty. I've also published apologies. This might not be high-class journalism, but it's certainly got several dedicated readers that are following along with my antics.
