I just submitted my screenplay The Problem with Being Happy to two competitions:  the 2009 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards and the BlueCat Screenwriting Competition.  This type of news wouldn’t necessarily warrant an update; however, this is pretty big for me.

TPwBH is the first feature-length screenplay I have written. (the oh-so-horrible scripts from my teenage years do not count.)  In 2007, I wrote a six-part miniseries adapted from a novel I wrote; the pilot was a quarterfinalist in the PAGE Awards.  In 2008, I began writing short scripts and my very first short – a one-pager – was a finalist in a competition.

2009 is the year of TPwBH and my short screenplays.

There are several more contests for TPwBH and goals to submit it to production companies, agents, etc.

Tomorrow, I start working on a new screenplay, Saying No to the Big O in April’s Script Frenzy.

I realize that no one is going to just give me anything, so I need to get up, put up the money and time and energy and dedication, and REACH MY GOALS.
