Big News!! Big Big News!!!

Well I might be jumping the gun just slightly but I couldn't hold in this news any longer. 

I have a couple of financial backers interested in my screenplay.

This is why I completed it when I did.

We are meeting later this week to talk over details and I'm SUPER excited.

It's very, VERY early into this but the fact that I have interest is amazing to me.

I'll keep you posted as I move forward.

Officially done with my first ever screenplay.

Good news! Good news!

MY SCREENPLAY IS DONE!!!!

120 pages of magic waiting to be filmed. 

Now of course there are revisions to be made and cuts that are bound to happen but it is DONE!!!

This is one of the best feelings in the world. Something that I started is complete and I have never been more happy. I even completed it within my self appointed goal. 

I have more good news to come all of it involving the screenplay that I should be holding a copy of in my hands by this time tomorrow.

I might hate the Oscars now.

Went to work tonight knowing that the Oscars would be airing on the station that I work for. I know the Oscars being someone who has watched them every year as far back as I can remember that the Oscars always run long. This year the Oscars running long meant that I had to work and hour later and spend 30 minutes in the studio waiting for the dang speeches to be over.

That being said I am very glad that Heath Ledger, Sean Penn and Kate Winslet all won. 

Picked up some books recommended by Southern Gothic Productions and have to say what little I got to read today is amazing. I started with "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe" by Carson McCullers. I'm only a couple pages into it because of working but I am digging it. I also picked up "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers and "Wise Blood" by Flannery O'Conner.

Tomorrow I'll be curled up with my book, a cup of tea and SoGoChat open on my computer. 

So close to a finish on my script. Just a couple more elements and I'm done. Should be ready for viewing tomorrow if I get as much done tonight as I would like. Lining up editors to help me out. I'm kind of nervous about the feedback but I guess I have to be ready to hear negative and positive things if I'm going to send it out for production.

Can't say it enough, go check out Southern Gothic Productions blog. It is the most amazing place on the web. 

Felling Inspired and Determined.

There are times in life when the writing is on the wall and you can choice to ignore it or follow what it says.

This week has been one of those times.

I have always felt that there was a plan for my life and that all the crap and drama that I have gone through was supposed to happen to get me to where I'm supposed to go.

This week has showed me that what I have always thought was true is.

My place in this world is behind a camera, typing keys on a keyboard, and making something to entertain others.

I know now that the path I am on right now is the path I was always supposed to be on. I just had to go through the other crap to get here.

If I had started this 3 or 4 years ago I wouldn't have made it.

I was not as strong as I am now. I was not as determined as I am now.

Life is funny sometimes. It tosses and turns and does some crazy things. But in the end, what life throws at you can either break you or make you stronger and I am happy to say that it has made me stronger.

I can face the rejection that is bound to come, the doors that will slam in my face. I am a strong, determined woman ready to face this big scary world.

Bring it on! 

First script is almost done. Couple of final revisions and I will need a couple of people to read over it for me and I will be ready to look at getting it produced. I'm so excited. It's a very personal story with a lot of basis on my life which makes it all the more special. Even if I produce it myself with my handheld camera I want to see this story played out by someone else. I want to see the characters that have been running around my head for the last 3 years come to life in a way that I can only imagine.
