I never thought that I’d ever be able to say this, but my story outline was approved by my editor, and I’ve just submitted it to the film producer. Now to wait and see if they’ll let me do the screenplay on spec.
It’s nothing major, a very small film by an indie production house, and [...]

I flamed out of NaNoWriMo 2007 with a word count under 20,000. The story simply didn’t have enough life in it, and I was relieved when I hit the delete key on the file. Still, getting 20,000 words onto the page was exhilarating in and of itself, so I’ll try again, this time in what [...]

Scott over at Alligators in a Helicopter talks about film critics.

I think the reason why I can’t keep this going steadily is that I take it too seriously. Instead of just posting any old thing up here and letting the words flow for the day, I end up drafting and editing the post.
