Hey there, my friends.  Been awhile since I’ve updated you on what’s going on with me, so here it goes!

WRITING – yeah, I need to do more of that.  You don’t get the representation, the sales, and the accolades without FIRST having a product.

This past weekend, I finished a short script, PG.  Logline is on the side bar.  I just sent it to an interested party.

I’m waiting on a contract for an option of a short script of mine, and when that’s confirmed, you will know all about it.

Right now, my big thing is organizing my writing.  Need to figure out which short projects I will work on next and which big project I’m going to work on in April for Script Frenzy.

I plan to submit to about six contests this year, so I need to get working on new feature-length script and get The Problem with Being Happy polished for competitions.

I’m researching agents, managers, and prod. companies online and with my trusty 2009 Screenwriter’s & Playwright’s Market.

I’m editing – always editing.  I’m taking April off – for the most part – LOL, so I’m excited about that!

I’m also in the process of preparing materials for The Nubian Chronicles and SisterDivas magazines, both slated to go live May 4, 2009.

I’m ALSO in the brainstorming stage of developing a podcast for writing tips, book reviews, and story-time.  I just bought space on PodBean, so I’m dedicated to doing it.  Will probably launch in June.

LOL

OK, I think that’s it for now – really should be working on something – like writing…or editing.
