Huh.
I think I just wrote 423 words of flash fic. That would certainly make up for the 10,231 word story (and still growing) I did last month. Speaking of the hurricane story, I don't think it's ready for critique yet. There are still a couple of things I need to add to...
The Year of Getting Serious
My Hollywood Creative Directory is on its way. I received one of my two first script queries back in the mail as undeliverable. D'oh! Short fiction markets are all over the Internet, but this is not the case for the places I want to send scripts. (The online version...
First draft done on hurricane story.
The first draft clocks in at 10,113 words, and it's likely to expand in revision. For one thing, I think the end is a little abrupt (in fact, I may not be done after all), and for another, I don't think there's enough tech, and there are characters who disappear in...
Screenplay Competition Season
I've started getting notifications about screenwriting competitions, which means I need to decide which ones I'm going to pelt with screenplays. I'm considering blowing off Austin this year--I won't have anything new until Script Frenzy, and they've seen everything...
Or, maybe what I need is a lack of distractions.
1533 words written today, for a total of 4582. That's almost NaNoWriMo productive. Note to self: Distraction=Evil.
No, it’s definitely stalled.
I'm not sure what's up with the story, but it's at 3049 words and just doesn't want to move at all. Maybe this is the equivalent of the NaNoWriMo week two, and I should try to plow forward. Maybe I should set an arbitrary wordcount and do it even if those words suck....
Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
