“Reject the tyranny of picked. Pick yourself.” ― Seth Godin, Poke the Box
Hi everyone. Just a quick update for me. I’m in the midst of post-production on my short film, so I haven’t had much time to do much else this morning, really, other than get a little exercise in, which is important. But that was really all I had to say.
Okay. Wonder what the writer’s life is like? This is what it’s like. I just got through writing, um, how many words did I write? Let me just check. Oh, I didn’t even know. I’m barely aware of my word count these days, but I write every single day. Where the hell did I start? Wait. Nope. Not there. Nope. Not there. Not there. Not there. Okay. It was there, right? Okay. It was right here. Actually. I changed that. Yeah. Okay, so let me see. Come up with that word count.
Forget it. It doesn’t matter. What matters is I ran across a situation where I wrote the word “gobsmacked” and I thought, okay, would a 30-year-old woman in the year 2022, which is when this is taking place, use the word gobsmacked? So I had to Google it or whatever you want to call it, and came up with gobsmacked: “The British Slang Gobsmacked: A Closer Look.”
Hi everyone. Yeah. One of the things you have to do as a screenwriter is network. Networking involves personal interactions with actual individuals, so that can feel a little overwhelming to people when they think about it. How am I going to interact with every single person that I want to read my book? Well, don’t think about it that way.
Hi. Just want to give you an update on where I am now. Just got back from physical and occupational therapy, which took up most of my morning and a bit of my afternoon. So I’m going to try to keep this short. I’m going to be making a movie. That’s a big announcement right there. I’ll be directing. It’s a short film, about 10 minutes. It’s called “Absolution”, and we’ve sent out a casting call for my film as well as several others that are part of the 10th Wave of Charm City Filmmakers. So this is huge for me. It’s been remarkable getting to this point. I never thought I would do this, actually, but I’m very glad to be doing it now.
