"Another Sheet of Paper"

Staring at a blank page
My mind becomes enraged with anticipation to
The thought that will emerge

An explosion of creativity and imagination derived
From a pod of contained inspiration

Some march to the beat of a different drum
And some expressed with the same reason
Clawing to become a new race of poet warriors
Words never to be vanquished by smoldering battlefields

My mind free as the universe
And the stars represent the next verse

Let me not leave you or love you,
But indulge me in your strange brew
Served in a lust loved cauldron of our insanity,

Stress soaked reins of words wrapped around my neck
Answering fearfully at every call and beck

Into my seat of relief I sank
Because the page was no longer blank

The Low Down

My name is Jordan Ramay and I am a writer... for better or worse. Worse most days, and better on some, thus is the life we choose. You know what I'm talkin' about. If I could write for even half the time I spend doing the things I do to avoid writing I'd have 10 solid scripts by now. Which leads to the next fact about me.

Of all the sublimely superb forms of writing I have dipped my pen into, I landed on the form that is constantly mocked for it's level of difficulty,validity, and creative necessity for the writing game. You guessed it...SCREENWRITING.
It's probably because of all the blank space on the page and how the dialogue goes strait down the middle of it. The truth of the matter is...... we love that shit. At the end of the day I'd rather get to the fucking point instead of filling a page with boring dribble about some expositional bullshit memory that barely holds relevance to the scene we are reading.

But I digress. I guess the simple fact of the matter is, I've always loved movies and I've always loved writing. Once I realized that screenplays were the genesis of a film, it just made sense.

I will be posting some of my own work, articles, and any other titillating nuggets I find concerning screenwriting as well as all other forms of writing. Hopefully you enjoy some of my writing and find something of use during your visit. Feel free to send me your work and I will do my best to get it posted.

Right on to the Writers, Death to the Fakers.
