I have started the ball rolling. I awoke today with a renewed sense of determination which I have a feeling I am going to have to do plenty of this year. I started early and knocked off some things on that pesky "To Do" list of 2010. I registered my screen play with the WGA (Writer's Guild of America, West), tried to pursue a copyright as well, but being that it is a government run sight I couldn't get past the new user login... Go figure, and they want to run health care?! Kind of scared about that, but that's a topic for another day. I also submitted my script to be formally critiqued and am now waiting on confirmation. Hopefully there will be no bumps along the road and it will come out pristine. If so, then I am on to getting an agent and am already in some correspondence with some interested parties.
Besides that, it is business as usual. Saturday I will be judging the children's art work at Central Ohio Art Academy and then Sunday I will be presenting awards and trophies at Eastern Palace to the winners. Although, they are all winners... All of them get awards, some are just bigger than others. I think I will post pieces up on here. I think I am going to post all of the art on my website in it's own section. Haven't decided yet.
Wednesday I am off to the sunny side of the west coast, San Fran to be specific. Then it's on to San Jose. This year is starting off with a bang to say the least. Things aren't really falling in place as I had planned, but then again I don't really have a place for them to fall into. So, all-in-all I would have to say that everything is going better than expected.
This productivity thing really kicks butt. I should have made this a goal so long ago. I think this is how successful people really do get successful. Focus, determination, motivation, and an unrelenting vision on what the outcome is to be with all steps leading to that finale.
No matter how small, or how large, the key is to just keep on moving forward. Even if you get set back, you got to just pick yourself up. Dust your self off, and be like, "Hot DANG! I'm gonna wup this life a new tail!"...
I'm not too sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it means something. A little sadden that I have had to put my mandarin on a back burner, but I also have decided to in it's place write a one woman show for a student at the art school who just doesn't find her theatre class at school testing her true potential. The hardest part was figuring out the demographic... After all it has been awhile since I was a thirteen year old girl.
I have an idea for the play, a concept. The craziest part is I know the exact last line word for word and what the play will be about. Possibly even the title. Have to do some research on a play format, but it can't be that hard, right? If I can get it produced through her private school which, then we can get this thing into production. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to add play write to my list of accomplishments.
I will give you a hint as to what it is about. A girl who is dealing with self identity, dreams, success, failure, and the realistic coming to grips with her own self, but as a comedy. I don't want anything too serious. That is all funny stuff , right? Plus, there is going to be tons of interpretive dancing... Lol...
I will call this opus... "Be"
p.s. I am still writing my second novel, just in case you're wondering. It's coming along quite swimmingly. I am 5o pages into it and have managed to kill off two characters AND work in two original Blues songs. As sang by the fictional character Morris Redding, aka, Mr. Mo "Blues" Red. At first I was worried about telling anybody about this book idea then I realized if someone can write it faster than me and tell it in a better way, so be it. But I ain't scured (that's scared in dirty south dialect).
