Just a few more hours...

I'm getting on the computer at midnight tonight to start writing my script, because that's when Script frenzy officially starts. I'm hoping I can write at least ten pages, but I'll have to stay awake long enough.

Can't decide...

I can't think of a good title for my script. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, except this April, there's a contest going on on the Script Frenzy site where you can enter your script, and have a chance to win a professionally designed poster for your scipt.

And when you enter, you must give your script name...I'm either going with "Crater," "The Scientist," or "The Death." I'm kind of going with "The Death" because "Crater" sounds kind of boring.

But I'll think of something later.

5 days...

Man, I can't wait! Script Frenzy starts in five days!

I'm completely ready to start writing. My script is outlined, and I'm excited to finally be able to write it soon.

I really can't stress how important it is to write a sumary of your script/novel before you start writing. My first book wasn't pre-outlined, and when I started writing, I had a lot of trouble keeping the storyline from unravelling. 

But the script I'm writing this year (currently called "Crater," although that is definitely subject to change) has a great plot, or at least compared to my first novel.

Anyway, I'm still thinking about turning my script into a movie...I'm not an adult, and filmmaking isn't my job, so it isn't like I have all kinds of crazy deadlines to work with. I have all the time in the world to make a movie, so it probably WILL eventually get filmed...that is, if I finish the 100 page script before April 30.

Wolfbreed

Sorry for two posts in one day, but I forgot to post this earlier.

Here's a picture of my band logo, made by my friend, who is the lead singer and bass player:




Crater

For now, my script will be titled "Crater." I know, it's a pretty lame title, but I'll try to think of a better one later.

Anyway, I've been thinking about filming my script after I finish it...but the problem is, I don't think I will be able to find enough good actors. There's also a part near the end of the movie where these zombie-things dig their way out from underground, and start killing everyone in sight. And that could be a little hard to film in a low-budget movie. So...anyone want to give me $60,000,000 to make a movie?

Finally.

I finished outlining my script...meaning I wrote a complete summary of it, so this April, all I have to do is start writing, and I don't have to think of any ideas.

Mom, look! A beaver dang!

We found a beaver dam a little ways away from our house. They built it in a creek beside the road, causing the creek to overflow. Now, a small part of the woods is flooded.

Death Troopers movie poster

I was bored today, so I scanned the Death Troopers book cover onto my computer, and edited it some in Picasa.

YES!

It's here! I just got my proof-copy of my book in the mail today!

It should be available on Amazon soon, so when it's released, I'll probably post a link to it. It would be awesome to have a few readers...

By the way, if anyone at all is reading this, and you have written a book, I would seriously reccomend using createspace.com. It only costs a few dollars ($3.00 for me) to publish. And if you already have used create space, awesome. Please leave a comment with a link to where your book is being sold, and I would be happy to buy it.

Actually, no.

Forget what I just posted about the new Skeleton Creek videos coming out...they aren't, even thought today is the release date! Aargh!

The Raven

Finally! The new Skeleton Creek videos for The Raven were released on sarafincher.com today. If you don't know what i'm talking about, I suggest you read Skeleton Creek.

Also, I started reading a Spiderman graphic novel last night...I stayed up pretty late and read most of it, and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. Instead of just being a comic about an average superhero who constantly fights crime, it's a really good story.

I must go now and watch some videos on the Skeleton Creek website...

Guess who's a published author?

Just finished editing my book I wrote for NanoWrimo today. I submitted it to create space, and I should be getting a free copy in the mail. My book also should be available on Amazon, but right now I can't find it. If you do a search for The Vegas Spy, it might come up, but I think it takes a few days for it to be posted. By the way, here's a preview of my book.

YES! I'm so excited!

The Band

(Sorry for the two posts in one day, but I really wanted to post this.)

Guess what? Me and my friend's metal band, Wolfbreed, just finished writing our first song yesterday, and can now play through the entire thing. YES! We're a real band now!

Yes! I got it...

I just thought of a good idea for a screenplay last night, so now I have a basic idea of what I'm going to write during Script Frenzy. But I already have enough other projects to do right now, so I won't end up actually writing the script until April, when Script Frenzy starts. (If you haven't already signed up for Frenzy, you really should, by the way.)
