The Matt Ritchey Creative Process: Get an idea, get excited about it, procrastinate, work on the idea more, agonize a bit, begin to think the idea is worthless, ask opinions, tweak the idea, procrastinate, begin to think YOU are worthless, ask for more advice, then bang out a draft in three weeks.........

Hmmmmmmmmm.........sounds like the beginning of greatness. WOO!
Depressed. I've spent the last three days waking up and going for a run or lifting (yay for that part) and eating well which is part of the new plan, but I also wind up taking a four hour nap in the middle of the day. Why?

; ) Thanks....... even considering the rain in LA, I'm feeling a it better today.....
One week to auditions part deux. I got three guys for a callback and can only HOPE I get more girls (take that really any way you wish). Gonna be a long, hopefully really FUN day. I'm getting really psyched about this project (as opposed to terrified, which comes and goes).
Waiting until the end of February to get the postcards and advertising rolling.. Yes,...

; ) Thanks!
RIGHT!
First casting session was.......... sad. Why do actors submit for things that they won't show up to even AUDITION for? I mean, I get being busy, I get canceling, I get not wanting to do a show for no real money and focus on your TV and film career.... JUST DON'T SUBMIT!!!!!
*sigh*
But the good news is I have fifty new submissions and...

Happy 2010!
Ignoring the idea that time is simply a concept that humans created to, y'know, figure out why it gets dark all the time and snows on occasion, I'm ready for the new year to bring fantastic things!
More work, more shows, more creativity, more happiness, more fitness, more sex, more more more!
(Plus less fat, less bullshit, fewer economic issues, but I'm trying...

Happy new year!
My New Year's Resolution is to learn to walk on high heels. Can't wear combat boots for the rest of my life.

Oh. And by the way..... has anybody on here done a SLAVE LEIA set? I was just thinking about that the other day... seems like that would be a no-brainer around here, but I haven't seen one and have no idea how to search for it either.
Any ideas?

I thought about it. But I havn't found the time to make that bra, even though there are tons of instructions on how to make it online!

this is a good idea.
this is a good idea.
I should blog more.
"Blog" is a word that oft reminds me of weird 50's horror monsters. I'm just sayin'.
Okay. So it looks like my show is going to move to THE EL CENTRO THEATRE in HOLLYWOOD on MELROSE for APRIL 2010. Again, this is the new thriller based on Edgar Allan Poe's work. So, show up. Please.
It's double-billed with my friend's show...

i liked it "back in the day" when it was called a journal.

Right there with ya. Plus, you can say that word and sound French. Say "blog" and you just sound nauseated.
Okay!!!
It's official: the fundraising has begun for NEVERMORE!!
NEVERMORE fundraiser
It's a thriller in the vein of DEATHTRAP meets Edgar Allan Poe. It will be my directorial debut in Los Angeles, also the debut for anything I've written, and of course, I hope to sell the screenplay. ; ) But for now, it's just going to kick ass onstage.
Hope you guys can make...

Okay, this is a corny post but: I love New York.
Been a long time and I'm visiting again.... and loving every second of it. Then back to the grindstone in Los Angeles.....
Which reminds me: I'm directing a new gothic thriller (which I wrote a year or so ago) in April and would LOVE to spread the word to, y'know, people who would have...

I simply don't post enough. And really, who can blame me? There;s too much eye candy to type!! Anywhooozle, for those with interest, I have updated my Shakespeare blog... many times over. Everything from sonnets to classwork (I teach) to monologues to my grandfather (really). Check out www.mushakespeare.blogspot.com. A bonus: you get to see a multitude of hair and beard styles.......
