Something I've learned about myself

i realized something today when my friend Wendy was talking to me on how many words she's reached so far for Script Frenzy

i'm not a script writer, i'm a book writer

i thought i could write a script, but i can't cope with the format, and i need to write things out as they happen in my mind one after the other in full sentences and get people to talk using quotes... i see things happening in my mind and I have to write what i see, not take the time to write what the setting is in little headings

o well, at least i tried it, right? and i guess i could always go back and write it as a novel instead

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*
