I wrote as far as I had in my script, which was basically setting up the premise. Page 13 is a good page to introduce the villains, right? Need an outline, STAT! On the other hand, I’m hearing character voices quip, which is a good sign, script-wise. And the...

I managed a super-rough outline (um, yeah, it’s a description of the setup and a few minor plot beats) and wrote five pages of setting up the premise in Final Draft, so I suspect the movie script is a go. Although I really, really need to come up with a better...

The Austin Film Festival is paying actual real money for their Sci-Fi award this year. Clearly, I should enter. The only problem being that I don’t currently have a Sci-Fi script. *looks at calendar, looks at deadline* May 15. Can I write a Sci-Fi script in two...

Based on the latest crit for the nightmare story, the way my system of magic works was completely unclear. Every single question my reader had was about how the magic worked. And here I was worried that I was being all sledgehammery! Apparently, I needn’t have...

What I really need right now is a Hollywood Creative Directory. I haven’t done anything with Dot Com since I heard back from Austin Film Festival during the big move, and it’s time I change that. Maybe this weekend I should cuddle up with Max Adams’...

I didn’t make it into the second round of the screenwriting competition. Which dampens my faith in that script not even slightly. Dot Com rocks. It’s the best movie script ever. It’s young, it’s hip, it’s screamingly funny, and someone...

Today is Brian’s birthday! Happy birthday! Today is also the closing for Austin Heart of Film, but I mailed my script and Sallya on the 13th. Woohoo! *crosses fingers* I haven’t really written stuff since I finished the screenplay. Things are...

Script printed out and bound in #5 Acco brads with cardstock covers as per script custom and Austin Heart of Film rules. I picked a tasteful speckled grey cardstock, for those who care. Now I need to write a two sentence synopsis. Oh, the evil! I loathe summaries!...
