My Humble Abode

The illustrious ramblings of an idiosyncratic fellow (Man of Feeling, perhaps?), complete with nonsensical tintinabulations

Peel me from the skin...

Greetings and salutations, fellow fans!

I have begun working on a screenplay. I fully intend to finish the manuscript by april 30th, which would put me in the running for a contest in which I can be an apprentice to the man who wrote the screenplay for The Grudge. It would also put me well in advance of the running for the 2005 eerie movie festival, in which I can have my script delivered into the hands of those mighty, curled claws of movie makers (producers, directors, et alia). That would be an opportunity I will meet headfirst, probably with a second script by then (June... which should give me ample time to work on another script, the seeds of which have already been planted in my head, though how strong of a sapling it will make is beyond me).

At any rate, I am moving along quite nicely, I think. My pacing has made at least 10 pages of screenplay, which, at a page-length of 110 pages, will leave me finished in less than 11 days from now (I am currently roughly at page 45..)

Hopefully things will work out. I hope to prepare myself for luck's good graces. I do not want to have it said that luck crossed my path and I was not prepared, such as a director saying "I really like this work, do you have anything else we can see to option?"

I mean... two scripts sold in one night can make a serious cashola increase to a man's bank account!

At any rate, that is roughly all that is new for the week. My crazy old landlord called my parents again, harassment charges will be laid on her, but that's just a story that either you already know or is too long for me to repeat... but if you don't know the story of my crazy landlord, ask me... its a rather interesting story.

At any rate, I will hopefully have something done scriptwize for you all to see made into a movie.

Wish me luck!
