Yay, me!
I managed six script pages in an hour last night, followed by a couple of paragraphs puttering on the recalcitrant nightmare story. I have therefore tentatively decided that four pages a day in hopes of finishing the movie script for Austin is doable. I’m trying...Austin Film Festival
Austin Film Festival’s screenwriting competition closes on May 7. The movie script is currently 32 pages long. The average film comedy is 90-110 pages long. May 7 is 18 days away. Assuming I would need to write about 60 more pages, that’s a little over 3...writing update
That story draft that was so sucktastic? I somehow managed to wrangle a couple of good paragraphs out of it. I thought it was probably “warmer” than the previous draft, and apparently I was right. In other news, I went for a run last night. It was about...playing scripts off short fiction
I got several funny pages done on the movie script. Hooray! On the other hand, I read a bit of draft for the nightmare story I wrote last week, and it is the suck. Not first draft suck, either. Worse. Woe. Ah well, this is the whole reason to have multiple projects in...Scripts R Us

This is a very useful link for the nightmare story, even if not all the items apply to the story in question. Also, I think I was writing with the wrong POV character, although I wouldn’t have known that if I hadn’t attempted a draft, since it took me an...new story in circulation
That extremely silly story I mentioned is now in circulation under the title, “The Captivity of Princess Sallya.” Goe, lyttel storie! Goe! 🙂Aha!
I’ve figured out why the nightmare-based story is proceeding so slowly. I don’t have the rules set for the story universe. It looks like our universe, but any world in which (that would be telling!) is not our world. 🙂 Some time rule-building for the...New story idea
Inspiration struck Wednesday for a twisted tale I’m calling “The Grandfather Paradox.” Yes, for those of you who recognize the reference, there is time travel in this story. Right now I’m trying to figure out the time-travel rules. I...Subscribe
