Visual Writing

Writing for a visual medium is tough, a whole lot tougher than writing for a ..umm..reading medium. Writing for readers feels like putting a puzzle together, with the opportunity to buy missing pieces (research). Writing for a visible medium is sketching out how the puzzle should eventually look, then going out and finding pieces in the wild that will fit together into a perfect picture. I am bad at this. 

We take for granted the pieces we see on television. To be honest, I don't even know how to pick those apart anymore. I'm in that nasty limbo between being a viewer and being a composer, with only enough of each side to not know what's going on. I don't like it. I hope it clears up soon.
