New Story!

I started reading yet another writing book. It's about writing a story outline in 30 days. Kind of has me motivated to get serious about a story I've been messing around with. I'm having trouble, however, deciding to name my female main character Bailey or Broghan. It's definitely between those two. I might be leaning towards Bailey, because someone else has also discovered that beautiful name and use it in their novel.

Happy Independence!

Thankful for a free country to live and write in! Wahoo!

TOMORROW I send out my manuscript and my tuition money. Today was kind of impossible to do so. Who knew that the post doesn't work today? Huh. *snicker* Dumb blonde moments. Actually, it was a typo. Two days ago I wrote the blog entry at midnight, like I'm doing right now. So, yeah.

I started--well RE-started The Artist's Way. Tomorrow I start writing my morning pages. Let's see how that goes *eyeroll*

WGAW!

Tomorrow I submit my script to the Writer's Guild. I did a little script-tidying tonight...removing the "fat" I added for Screnzy! I didn't really need to do that, as I can always change things later and still have the "patent" be applicable (I only need to re-register the script if I change the plot.) So, yeah, pretty excited about that. Oh, and tomorrow I also send in my payment for the classes I will be taking this fall (still nervous about those.)

Okay, I need help. I am totally in a non-writing mode (yet here I am, writing...*facepalm*) I need to start working more seriously on my fanfic story for the competition, but I DON'T WANNA!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I'm not in the mood. My Inner Editor is like "Bwa-ha-ha!" Need to tell him to shut it.

I guess that's it. I'm off to surf the web...or do something. Yeah.

Later,

Hooray! for Trying New Things

Just yesterday, I signed up for two online writing classes, which will begin this September. The classes are "Your Screenwriting Career" and "Writeriffic" (basic writing course.) Hopefully these will help me sharpen my writing skills. We'll see how they go. I'm a little nervous, because I've never taken an online course before; but I think I'll survive.

Script Frenzy! 2007 is coming to a close. Everyone, in order to win, must finish and get their 20k (or more) validated by 11:59:59 (in their own timezone) tonight. Good luck, everybody!

The Show Must Go on!

Things for Script Frenzy! 2008 are looking bleak. The wonderful people at the Office of Letters and Light still need to raise around $100,000 to pay for costs this year. If you were a part of the Frenzy and want it to happen again next year, you need to donate! Think one person can't make a difference? Donate $10. Then 10 other people donate $10. That's $100. Then one hundred people donate $1,000. That's $10,000. Then 1,000 people donate $10. That's $10,000! And it all starts with one donation. If you don't donate, who will? Please go to the following link and make your donation today. As cheesy as it sounds, one person can really make a difference.

I made my donation (waiting for the ticket to prove it)...have you?

On Your Mark, Get Set....

TYPE! (Okay, I first typed "typo", which would in itself be a typo. Hee-hee.)

The contest at Chamber of Secrets Forums has begun! I have received my ten quotes, which I must work into my story, and have begun to write. Over a page so far! And from this point on, I don't think I'm allowed to talk about it to any potential voters :)

I was going to do some JTR research, but I think I'm going to stick with the JFK assassination. I really sense a lot more evil with JTR; I just read a chapter about the supposed diary that he wrote, and I already have the creeps.

Well, on a lighter note...Let me try and find a lighter note....No luck. Oh well.

Keep writing always!

CoS Writing Contest

...that's what's next on the docket :D I can't write my progress online, though, since it's an annonymous competition. (www.cosforums.com)

I'm doing some Kennedy research, see if I can come up with a new angle for a play. Great thing about presidents: The book/play/movie doesn't have to be authorized! They're "public domain".

Oh, and I got my Script Frenzy! T-shirt yesterday. Whoot-whoot! Already got one compliment :D And today I sent an excerpt of my script to a friend. Lisa is so supportive! She's been telling me for years now that one day she's going to see me on Jay Leno XD

Well, I guess that's all for now. Got to get back to my Cherry Coke and lemon poundcake :P
