Getting Ready

I'm getting my submission ready for Sundance. I have the DVD burned and I am filling out the application. I need to make a 8X10 picture from the movie to have made into a photo and figure out what kind of publicity stuff I want to plan for, should it get to go.

I also managed a page or so in Complimentary Murder. I'm going to work on catching up to my David and Golith word count challenge by writing enough today to count for the first three days of the month. This weekend is for CM and then next week it is back to Psionics Institutes.

Joined In

I joined in on the Evolution JDavid and Goliath Challenge for July. I've signed up as a "David" to write 500 words a day for the month. I'm hoping this will give me a bit of a boost to keep toiling away on my works in progress.

I also outlined a resume, which I plan to work on this weekend. I decided I shouldn't limit my accomlishments to a single paragraph on a query letter, or bore the managers/agents I want to approach with a long letter and this will show them I have been working on many diverse projects and can handle the next step.

Screenwriting

I checked Inktip. Two more producers had my logline come up in a search, but neither downloaded anything.

I am going to e-mail a manager I found on Script P.I.M.P. about Rememer Me.

Script Submission

I submitted an e-mail query regarding WAR PAINT to a small budget production company looking for a creature feature. Usually e-mail queries bounce or get no reply, but I keep trying!

Whew!

I struggled and crawled and managed to finish the section I had been working on for PI. I did a little math and I have 9 more sections in this chapter and at about 1500 words each I'll be able to make my required word count.

Burned to DVD

Levitation has been burned successfully to DVD and is going out to a few friends for input. I need to check the Sundance website for details and send it out to them soon.

I am clawing my way along with the Psionics Insitutes first draft. Every bit helps, I guess.

The Movie

Thanks to my wonderful father, and his superfast computer, I have been able to render Levitation in the correct format and with high resolution. I'm also able to burn it to DVD. I want to play with the DVD set up this afternoon, and then make a bunch of copies to send out. Yeah!

I have also managed to get to page 3 of the new Complimentary Murder chapter I started over the weekend. not much, but its something.

However, now it is back to Psionics Institutes.

Yesterday and Today

I managed to write 1 page in the new chapter for CM. Whoo-hoo.

My father is coming down today to try and fix my computer so it will render Levitation in the right file format and burn it to DVD.

Progress

I read through the first 5 chapters of Complimentary Murder, revised the 6th chapter and began writing one of the 4 'new' chapters the novel needs. I've give myself the weekend to work on CM, and then Monday it is back to PI.
