What's new and exciting...

There is a lot to talk about so lets get right to it...
"A Beautiful Somewhere" is completed, posted, copyrighted, registered and getting great reviews on Scriptbuddy.com. Readers have hailed it "4 stars!!!," "Superb! Outstanding and one of the best scripts on the site!" Thank you all for your kind words. Review it for yourself here :

"The Something" is re-written, completed, registered with WGAe and was submitted for posting today on simplyscripts.com and scriptbuddy.com. I will let you know when it is up and ready for your thoughts. I came up with an effective tagline for the film ="Something is happening..." More to come on this script soon.

My third feature will push my mind to the limit. It is called "The Barnhart Effect." A quick synopsis : America is on the brink of war with Russia over a malfunctioning weapon. One man, Bay Barnhart, holds the key to peace. The problem is, he doesn't know it. I am in the process of a tedious and stressful rough draft so stay tuned.

Have a great week and keep writing!

Screen Writer's Corner- It's November Already?

Where has 2008 gone? Don't forget to vote Tuesday the 2nd!

"A Beautiful Somewhere" hit www.simplyscripts.com last week. A few people have reviewed it and there were some great comments- "Easily one of the best scripts on this site." - Craig posted. Thanks to everyone who read the story and I hope you enjoyed it.

"The Something" has over 400 views on www.simplyscripts.com. That's so awesome and thank you all! All the comments have one thing in common- it needs to be a feature. That is in the works and I am 50 pages into it. It has turned into a teen-paranoid-thriller with a Halloween twist, you'll enjoy it.

I am still waiting for simplyscripts.com to post my features, but I know it can take up to 10 days so I am being patient and I hope to have them up this week.

What I Am Working On:
1. Representation/ Queries on "A Beautiful Somewhere"
2. "The Something" re-write
3. New Feature Idea (tentatively called "Inhabitant one")

Movies coming out to see:
1 New Bond Movie: Quantom of Solace
2. Defiance - Daniel Craig as a Jew AGAIN!
3. The Day the Earth Stood Still- looks cool...

Keep Writing!
