Guess what?

I won Script Frenzy! My page count goal was 80, but I ended up getting 117 pages. Now I just have to edit my script...

Update

I'm planning on writing an unofficial 39 Clues novella (short novel) and posting it on the 39 Clues message board this May. It's currently called "The Mosaic of History" although that if definitely subject to change.

I don't know if any of the few people who actually read this blog have read any of the 39 clues books, but anyway, I'll probably end up posting a link to my 39 clues story sometime soon.

By the way, "The Decayed," my graphic novel is going pretty good. I haven't been working on it much lately, but it will (hopefully) be finished by the 30th.

"The Decayed" book cover

Here's the book cover for "The Decayed," my graphic novel I'm writing. It isn't the final cover, though, but just the basic idea.

Whatta ya think?

130 pages!

I decided to convert my script from a screenplay to a graphic novel script. (If you don't already know, most people write a script before they actually start drawing a graphic novel.)

So, on the script writing software I use, it automatically converts the script to whatever format you want. So I told it to convert my screenplay to a graphic novel script, and it turns out it's about 130 pages as a graphic novel script. YES!

Update

My script is now about 60% complete...I worked on it pretty much all day yesterday, and got about twenty pages. (Yeah, I know, I'm a slow typer.)

Here's an except...

Here's a small excerpt from my script I'm writing this April. It's about thirty pages so far, and I'm hoping I can reach eighty or more before the 30th.

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - morning

Carl sits at the table as usual. Across from him are Dan, a cop, and Ron, the police chief.

RON

You need to tell us something.

CARL

How can I? I didn't do it,

so I have nothing to tell you.

I don't even know anything!

Ron looks at Dan.

DAN

We should tell him. It might

make him want to talk to us.

Ron turns to Carl.

RON

All right. They've found

something in the crater.

EXT. CRATER

A split second scene of the crater. Two cops are walking around it.

Bones.

And by the way, I know it isn't formatted very well. I copy/pasted it over from Celtx, and all the formatting was automatically removed.

It's a little confusing, I know. That's because this scene takes place on, like, page twenty.

But basically, Carl is accused of murdering people in the town. A large crater then appears later outside the town, and the police suspect that Carl is disposing of his victims in the hole. In this scene, they actually find bones in the crater, so we now are almost completely sure Carl did it.

"Decayed"

How about that for a title? I'm either going to go with "The Decayed" or "Decayed" or "The Decay." I might make a sequel to it called "The Death" but I'm not very sure. Or maybe I could call the script I'm wiritng now "The Death." I really like that title, because it sounds like you're talking about death as a noun, which is creepy. (By the way, The Death is actually a plague that turns victims into zombies.)

21%

As of yesterday, my screenplay was 21% complete, and I'm only on day 3!

Um...that's all.
