2012, My First Year in San Francisco!
I don’t usually do this “New Year’s resolution” thing. But I have so many short-term and long-term goals, I thought this would be a good way to organize my brain.
I’m not sure exactly how long it will take to complete this goal list, but I’m hoping to accomplish a good chunk within the coming months.
But, before that, I’d also like to make a list of my recent accomplishments. Often, I feel like nothing is moving forward, so hopefully this list will remind me that my hard work is paying off.

Achievements of 2012
- Have been working incredibly hard on my new online graphic novel The Poet and the Flea.
- Have taken part in some wonderful collaborations and look forward to continuing/completing them: The First Reich and Elias & The City of Cats.
- Entered several screenplays into a variety of competitions and have received a great deal of positive feedback (see résumé).
- Nominated for a number of blog awards — Reader Appreciation Award, Very Inspiring Blogger Award (twice), Blog of the Year 2012 Award, Liebster Award, and Beautiful Blogger Award.

Goals for 2013
- Complete materials for Elias & The City of Cats (hopefully before the end of January) and send out to publishers.
- Finish first 10 pages of The First Reich and get them up online.
- Begin working with Masa and Gabe on full-length screenplay collaboration The Blanks (working title), to be finished before June 2013.
- Send out inquiry letters about my completed full-length screenplays to production companies.
- Finish the script for The Poet and the Flea, hopefully somewhere between 60 – 75 pages.
- Work on my first zine (possibly a tie in with The Flea) and self-print it.
- Open up a Storenvy account to sell zines and other merchandise (prints, t-shirts, etc.).
- Work on the next 10 illustrated pages of The Poet and the Flea. Then the next 10, and so on and so forth!!
- Find a reliable and talented director and/or producer to turn one of my short scripts into a short film. Then enter the short film into a number of festivals.
- Finally get an official internship, fellowship, and/or job in a field of interest.

Here is a brief update on my current creative projects and endeavors…!
- Had a wonderful weekend (May 31st – June 4th) in San Francisco with friends Ariel and Olivia!
- Visited the Legion of Honor to see The Cult of Beauty: The Victorian Avant-Garde 1860-1900. Quite an amazing exhibit. Featured the artwork of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Aubrey Beardsley, etc. Also, very much enjoyed the Victorian Home Walk. I believe both experiences will help my writing.
- Robots Are a Girl’s Best Friend: Currently in progress!
- The Poet and the Flea: As of Thursday, 28 pages of written script (1 page of script = 4-6 illustrated pages), and about 28 pages (1-6 completed, and 6-28 in progress) of illustrated work.
- Thinking of converting “The Ink Drinker” (short story) into a full-length screenplay…
- No word yet from Playground Pictures. Monday, sent e-mail in response to ghostwriter gig on Craigslist. Tuesday, sent e-mail in response to Japanese language tutor gig on Craigslist. Waiting for responses.
- Continuing research on various production companies to send query letters to.
- Tuesday, signed up with meetup.com. Joined a bunch of interesting groups. Hopefully, I’ll meet some new friends and learn the city!
To Do:
- Apply to the Bluecat Screenplay Competition
- Apply to The American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest

I’ve been looking into various production companies to send query letters to. (This is just a rough list for my personal use. In no particular order!)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Leave me a comment!
