Play

I just wrote a 15-page stage play (don't ask). It sucks I am sure, but it is gratifying to be able to pound out the pulp fiction.

Editing chapters

I finished chapter four and am working on chapter five. Like I said, I would like to finish by the end of the summer. I need a refresher from the self-editing book. I will have to make sure it is with me as I edit.

Sitcom screenplay

I finished my screenplay on the 7th and today I revised and sent it in. I have never entered a contest before and I am pretty excited. They are picking the winner at the end of September.

I have also been freelance writing 400 word articles for a website. I just received payment for them and that was pretty great. I have to travel for work this week, but when I get back, I am going to write more. It is a great, easy way to make money.

I also received an e-mail on writing informative books and was invited to send my resume in. Again, I don't have time at the moment because I have had to travel for work this past week and again next week. The pay is between $1,200 and $1,600 and the word count is 65,000 words. I will have to see on that one.

Besides the freelance writing, I am going to get to my book. My mom was just telling met that three people from my area just had romance novels published, so books are still being published. I would love to be able to send out my book by the end of the summer. Now there is a constant refrain!

Screenplay news

I finished a screenplay I was working on for a contest. I am very happy! I was worried I wouldn't get finished in time, but I did. I don't really have more to say. I am a little wiped out. Except for: YIPPPEEE!
