To write a script, or not

i've been thinking about this whole script writing deal, and i have no idea if i'm actually going to finish the darn thing... i have a few ideas, maybe something sci-fi ish, like Lost in Space, but it's just a spaceship full of different people travelling through space trying to get to some colony or something... i guess i'm just not sure if i actually want to write the darn thing

well, i'll write it and see how it goes, i don't think i'll care if i finish it or not... as long as i write a bunch of it i'll be happy

Not just big news... GIANT NEWS!!

there's a writer's conference here in October, and i just saw that i can make an appointment with an editor or agent to plug 'Full Moon Falling'

can i just say OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!????

this is just amazing, and now i'm totally nervous because i'm not sure if i'll be ready, or they'll even like it, or if i should even do it or wait and do it next year so i can get a chance to edit it and re-work some parts and get rid of what i'd call the 'extra crap i might not need'

cripes, now i'm panicking... okay, let's just calm down here *breathing while trying not to hyperventilate*... i think i'm okay now

Woooooo! Time for a little self-promotion

since Script Frenzy is coming up, and also since blogs are so popular, i've been put on the Script Frenzy blogroll... isn't it exciting?? i could become famous in the eyes of bloggers, well, maybe a little more well-known

but isn't it exciting?? who knows how many new people will visit my blog during Script Frenzy??

Much deserved props

ok, i think it's time that some props went out for great people that i know

first, props to Wendy, the best Canadian person i write with... she's so talented and so funny, everyone should meet Wendy

and Nancy, she's the sweetest person on the planet... she's a total mom, but i love her because of it... moms are the best people on the planet... she's so creative, too... one day you'll pick between reading my books and reading Nancy's books

and Jeannie... how can anyone not love Jeannie?? she's one of the nicest people i'll ever meet, and another of the sweetest... *hugs for my Jeannie*

Just an update

well, i wasn't really sure what the theme of this post would be, so it's probably going to be all over the place

school's going good, i'm a little behind on one class, which means lots of reading over the next week or so, but it's ok... Monday's a holiday, Victoria Day, but it just means i'll be at home reading for my distance class instead of at school reading for my not distance class

June's on its way, which means Script Frenzy starts soon... i'm not so sure about it... i mean, i'll try it and everything, but i don't think I'm going to get all that far... how can a 20,000 word script be equivalent to a 90 min to 2 hour movie... i'm at 83,000 words for me book and i'm just starting to get close to the end, got a few more chapters left

i think i've gotten hooked on e-books from Ellora's Cave... which is good, i'm getting some ideas, but it's also bad because i've spent a lot of money... at least i've got the ones i wanted to read

my passport finally came last Friday... 12 and a half weeks from the time i mailed it to the passport offices to the day it got here... NOTE to everyone: get your passport now, even if you're not planning a trip... get it now

i guess that's it for now... have a nice day, peoples

Life update

well, peoples, it's that time again... well, it's always that time, but who really wants to be technical??

the first week of school is pretty much over, and it wasn't that bad... well, it's the beginning, it's never bad at the beginning... i've got a 2 page mini-essay due in a week and a half, then little write-up's for the books i have to read due the next week... then another few essays due in June and July, and exams in August... but i was expecting that

the weather's been nice, warm and sunny... the backyard looks amazing, all new and shiny... maybe not shiny... the new grass is growing like it's on growth hormones, the new plants are starting to get flowers, the little fountain and pond is bubbling away... once i get some pictures i'll put them up here

i've done a little more writing, but it's been slow goings... every once in a while i get a block and i can't think of how to continue, so i just watch a movie or read or whatever then get back to it... i'll update the little chart soon

did you all see my new label cloud thingy?... it's so pretty... i think i might change the colours around a little, and the font, but it's looking pretty good... if you think it's too cluttered, let me know

have a good week-end, peoples

Is that a tumbleweed I see??

ok, i've been thinking here, and i've been wondering if people are actually reading this darn thing or not... sure, i might be boring sometimes, but i'd like people to tell me i'm boring so i know to spice it up a little... this is really making me reconsider my possible podcast

so, tell me people, are you reading this blog at all?? if so, then i'll keep at it... if not, then what's the point??

:0)... well... :0(

O no! Real life intrudes in 5... 4... 3...

*snicker* is it wrong that i think the title is cute? no, of course not

well, it's only the 6th, but it's probably time to prepare outlines and plot notes for Script Frenzy (see link to the right and down)... now, i'm not really all that focused on writing a screenplay or stage play, i'm much more of a novel writing kind of girl, i just thought it would be interesting to try... i've got a lot of ideas rushing around in my head, and i don't think all of them would fit in a book format

what sucks is that my summer classes start tomorrow...eww, i know, but it's only 2 classes, so it's not like i'll be totally swamped or anything... i just have to block off time to write my essays and make sure i read everything i'm supposed to while marking important passages and taking relevant notes... if i do that, then everything will be fine and i won't fail or anything

i've found a bunch of writing tip related podcasts on iTunes, which i'll listen to on my way to school... if you Google these people, then you'll find the websites... there's I Should Be Writing with Mur Lafferty, The Writing Show with Paula B, and the Creative Writing Podcast from americanwriters.com... these are all handy if you're looking to write a novel for the first time or if you're editing a manuscript... i really like Mur's, she talks about continuing to write after being rejected

have a happy week, people... hopefully it's not raining where you are... it is here, which means the birds haven't been around to swim in the little pond we have below our new fountain... i swear, there were like 10 birds either in the water or on a rock next to the water at lunchtime

I'm ba-aaaaack

finally... God, i was getting so tired with that trip after a while, and so tired with flying... i was SO freaking bored on the plane home

but, now i'm back home, and will probably posting here when i get a chance between school and whatever else gets thrown at me... if anyone has random questions, like about NaNoWriMo or Script Frenzy or my possible podcast, then please ask by leaving comments... i'd like to know that people are still reading this blog
