Red Planet Prize Part Two

Thursday, November 20, 2008

I've decided not to rip my Red Planet entry apart and rewrite it. I think it's too close to the deadline to do that to Second Skin now. I'll wait and see if I get through to the second round or not. If I don't then I'll rewrite it.

Besides I have enough work with The Roaring Forties entry without making it difficult on myself and working on two scripts.

Harsh Times

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Got a reply from an agent today. He liked my work, but is cutting his screenwriters list down at the moment and taking on more novelists. They provide a more consistent income so I'm told. So near, yet, as usual, so far.

I don't like "but", it's a horrible word, but it's always there in those rejection letters or emails. My life seems to revolve around the word "but". It haunts me! I long to read a letter from a producer or agent that doesn't contain the word "but".

Red Planet Prize

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

The Red Planet Prize is taking up most of my time at the moment. Second Skin now has just over thirty pages and The Roaring Forties is on page fifteen. I want both of them finished by the end of the month (if I can), so I need to get my head down and crack on.

I'm also going to chase up agents and production companies who have copies of my scripts, so that I know where I stand.

September Round Up

Friday, October 03, 2008

September was a quiet month on the writing front, as I spent a considerable amount of time working on my Red Planet Prize entry.

Three of my Mr. Vista episodes for the web series go before the camera this weekend. I might even be persuaded to direct one.

October is going to be spent writing the entire Second Skin pilot episode and the Roaring Forties pilot with Brendan O'Neil.

Both my novels' plots are taking shape and will soon be ready for writing.

Emails Are Great

Thursday, September 25, 2008

I got a great email back the other day from a production company. No they didn't want to buy my script, but they did say that they thought I should at the very least be writing for current TV drama. They liked my writing that much!

They even gave me some names of agents to go to using their name as a reference (which is why I'm not naming names here). I've emailed those agents so I'll wait to hear back from them. It might finally be my way in. Excellent!
