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.

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:

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.
