- Today, received “BlueCat Screenplay Competition Analysis” for my full-length screenplay The Golden Curator. Overall very positive feedback! “What a neat and twisted little tale you have here… Even with all the craziness on the page, it never sounded like a campy comedy; instead, it was like a drawing room farce with just enough menace to make the viewer worry about the fate of our hero.”
Saturday, September 22nd
- Today, very successful meeting with Shannon. I feel like we’re definitely on the same page, and that my ideas for this project are flowing and coalescing. I can’t wait to start outlining the first pages!!

- Working on becoming better acquainted with the exhibitors at APE (Alternative Press Expo). There are a couple I most definitely want to check out, but I want to make sure I don’t miss anything!
