So, it’s the start of a new week.
Current word count on the “Windfall” novelization: 4,412
Right now, I’m reading the book Make a Scene, Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time by Jordan E. Rosenfeld. It is a good book for me, at this point in my “writer’s journey”, reminding me of some of the powerful tools available when writing a novel versus writing a screenplay.
I have started to do a step outline for my newest screenplay endeavor, mostly in my head, but it is being blocked and progress is being made. I expect to be in the middle of this project by the fall.
Two main goals for this week: First I need to finish the reviews for the “More of Less is More” competition at Moviepoet.com. Then I need to decide on something to write for MoviePoet’s next competition, “White Out”. I have one idea, an adaptation of a short story, and I’m waiting to hear from the author. If the author doesn’t give permission, then I have another idea up my sleeve!
I have paid the entry fee to enter “Windfall” in the ScriptSavvy contest, and have until July 30th to make last minute changes. The thing I like about this contest, is I can get feedback from it, so even if I don’t win, I get something in return for my $$.
The novelization of “Windfall” is progressing. Some parts seem to write faster than others. Returning to this medium has been fun but I am grateful that the plot has already been worked out so I can concentrate on the actual writing.
