The Latest Project
The hallmark of a great artist – writer, painter or otherwise – is not resting on your laurels. Van Gogh did not paint Starry Night and then sit back basking in accolades. Shakespear didn’t write one play and think “there, I’ve done it! Now I don’t have to do that again!” I, still fresh off my high from finishing and editing The Soup Storm, am not done with writing.
I have much more to tell. There are more stories in my head waiting to get out.
I haven’t been very chatty lately on the blog – not posting much in the way of content or new writing. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with outlining my latest project: The Definition of Me. I’ll post log-lines and a synopsis later – for now I’m still working out a few kinks with the major plot points and… well, I have a decision to make.
This month is Script Frenzy. My goal is to turn The Definition of Me into a complete first draft by April 30th. However, every time I start to write this story, it comes out like a weird crossbreed between novel and screenplay. So, progress on the actual screenplay is paused while I work out the problems that are causing the conflict with dueling formats.
But I am still writing. I want that made perfectly clear. I am always writing.
If you are a writer and interested, check out the Script Frenzy site. It’s a fun personal challenge and a way to jump-start yourself to get those ideas down on paper.
