“The show takes place in a fictional newsroom, none of the characters are inspired by real people, not even a little bit,” Sorkin said. “It’s entirely fictional. It isn’t meant to be anything on CNN, MSNBC or Fox, it’s generic cable news.”

He also talked about Dev Patel‘s character “Neal.” Patel plays a young staffer on ACN’s “News Night” who is the digital-savvy one on the team. He is an Internet idealist, and runs the show’s blog. “I have a blog?!?” anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) asks him in one scene.

“We get to see how the people who report the news first get the news themselves, and it is almost always entirely digital,” Sorkin says.

Sorkin also notes that the show will take place in the recent past, kicking off in the pilot episode with “a news event from about two years ago that we are all familiar with.”

^That.

Who do you think you’re fooling, Sorkin? xD

Or maybe, just maybe, “The Newsroom” is just one huge Keith Olbermann fanfic that Aaron Sorkin and company have been working on.  I mean, do we all remember when Keith went ballistic because MSNBC went ahead and got him a Twitter that he wasn’t running (yet it was simply his own name)?  Same shit with Will’s blog.

Look.  We all know you have some strange fascination with Mr. Olbermann.  I mean… Dan Rydell, hello?  Yeah.  You’re secret’s out, and that’s okay.  Just own up to it.  Own your Olbermann fangirl.

At roughly 6:45 this morning, the story that I had been planning for Camp, the novel which I’d already taken roughly sixty pages of notes for took a different route. I had been conversing with a good friend (a writer herself.. my muse even) and she had made a suggestion that maybe I should go a different way with this whole idea. I should keep the idea as a whole, but as far as organization I should shift things around and present it all differently.

So, I went from having thirteen different folders, each with a different year, to five different folders, each with a different character. Now, of course there is going to be some overlap in the story, since the four six main characters do tend to share a lot of history together, and at 6:45 in the morning I’m completely oblivious to what needs to be shared and what doesn’t, but I’m hoping that I can keep my brain focused long enough to figure that out today.

Either that, or just figure it out as I go along. There are a lot of separate story ideas that need to be threaded together, all from different points of view, some telling the exact same story. This is kind of new to me, regardless of how much roleplaying I have under my belt.

It still needs a title. The interconnected lives of four/six adult males who fall in and out of love with each other until finding their soul mates (though, finding their soul mates doesn’t necessarily stop the sleeping around; it just limits who they sleep with). Usually I keep things untitled until I’ve written a bunch, but I kind of want to create some kind of cover art for this baby, and that’s kind of hard to do without a title. When I had created the Scrivener file last year I’d titled it “NaNoWriMo2012DraftZero”, but that isn’t going to work. Maybe “Draft Zero” would, though. Hmm…

And you know what?  That imaginary life is fucking AMAZING.
