Light Distance Relationship

Hi blog! I wrote a story for a prompt in a discord server I'm in, and I wanted to share.

We were limited to five pages, and the prompts were: First Dates, Outer Space, Animals, Birthdays, and Childhood Friends.

I went with both First Dates and Outer Space.

The idea came from the fact that my boyfriend lives in South Africa, while I'm on the other side of the Atlantic in the states. Such a great distance in a long-distance relationship, you leap at any chance to meet. Relish any physical time together. Just to meet each other feels like a journey across space.

And so what if an LDR...was a Light Distance Relationship? That was the genesis of the idea and I just ran with it as far as I could.

Logline: "Two boyfriends on opposite ends of the cosmos go to great the lengths to meet on a planet for a single hour."

Update on life and projects

 Hey blog again, I've been trying to keep up with college of late and so I haven't been here. That being said, I'd like to take the opportunity to let you know how things are going in life and the pandemic and whatnot. I've been working with my friends and boyfriend ( Orlando , Curt , and Malcolm ) to turn Pastel Bears into a graphic novel and so my output of writing samples hasn't been at the level where I'd like it to be. I'm more focused in learning the ropes of production and seeing a project to completion in some capacity. Here's the first image I'm posting publicly about this project, some key art or a poster, either definition fits. Art by ImpossibleSnail on Twitter. Logo by  failedDEXsave . Beyond that I've been keeping up with school work and investing in my professional career going forward as a writer, looking into editing services and commissioning artists outside of those I'm already working with (such as above). Always somethin...

Pastel Bears Prose

 Hey blog, I've been doing some prose writing for some characters / story arcs in the world of Pastel Bears , one for the main character Deep Dish and one for the antagonist Victor. Just want to put these pieces out into the world in case anyone wants to read them. Koala "Bear"   - from the perspective of a koala that's actually a "drop bear", or carnivorous koala and his journey to control his carnivorous, or even predatory instincts. Predatory Expectations  - from the perspective of a polar bear with a carnivore supremacist father, the weight of his crushing expectations to be the perfect apex predator starves himself and goes mad, losing himself to his instincts, and ultimately being cut off from his father / renounced as his son.

Screenwriting Journey

As a programmer, which I used to want to want to be, I guess this would be the place I would say Hello World. I'm a screenwriter now so let me just start off with a FADE IN: OVER BLACK CHYRON: HELLO WORLD! FADE TO BLACK or something similar in a 12 point Courier font in Final Draft. But I just wanted to be out and open about coming into screenwriting. My name is Jacob Gregory Dammons, I was born in 1998. I grew up in Michigan, moved with my mom to New Jersey in the middle of high school, graduated in 2016, and attempted to go to college that year. I only attended for a semester. I saw a private school with high employment rates post-graduation and figured that it didn't matter how much debt I racked up, if I got through school I could just pay it back because of these high employment rates. That made sense to me then. I dropped out after one semester. Afterwards I was mostly aimless for the next several years, moving around with disparate family members...
