ScriptFrenzy!
Less than a month before ScriptFrenzy! begins again. I'm excited about this years event! There's a book called One by Richard Bach that I'm planning to adapt for the screen. Richard Bach is also the author of Jonathon Livingston Seagul, Illusions: the Story of a Reluntant Messiah (I think that's the right title), Bridge Across Forever and Running From Safety (among others). His books got me started on the spiritual path I now find myself on. I'm excited about this script. I also want to write an adaptation for Bridge Across Forever but One has caught my attention much more so.
Someone wrote the screenplay to Jonathon Livingston Seagul and made it into a movie. Richard Bach was so upset by how it turned out that he refuses to let anyone else adapt his work. I'm going to adapt One and send it to him for his approval. If he likes it, it may get made into a movie, if we can find the right producer/director but only if he likes it. I hope to do it justice. It's a fantastic book about alternative realities and I highly recommend it. I'm so looking forward to April 1st.
And BTW, I have a creativity coach with whom I'm trying to stay accountable to with very specific goals all the while dealing with my depression, demanding work schedule, exhaustion and uncomfortable living sitiation. I may be up for promotion at work soon which means transferring to another store with a longer commute. I so want to stay in the store I'm in. Only a five mile commute. The shortest I've ever had. Don't want a long commute. Eats away at writing time.
Anyway, here are my goals for the week:
write 3 pages daily in my journal
edit Mattilda down to 120-129 pages and send out by 4/1
write a blog entry
edit The Lonely Guitar, find a market and send it out
add 500 to 1000 words a day for five days on any WIP
consider entering the Writer's Digest Writing Competition: deadline: 5/2
edit Haunting Eyes (novella)
begin research for adaptation of One (script)
finish reading Van Gogh Blues and do the exercises
Also too, I've sent out The Manusript to Midwest Literary Review and now have a 90 day responce time. Wish me luck. It's going to be a long 90 days.
