Great title, huh?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, let me give you a little update. As we head into the weekend, I feel compelled to tell you what is going on in my life. I'm fine.

...

Okay, so there's a bit more than that. First of all, I have completed the initial draft of what is the pilot episode for my own television show. FOX is sure to pick it up any day now, because its brilliant. Actually, that's not true. In my mind, FOX wants to pick it up, but in reality not even my own mother thinks its a good idea. How comforting.

Second, I can promise you all a little taste of my World Literature II class. Let me just say that a French play has never sounded more like California until now. Yes, we're reading Moliere's Tartuffe. Its a wonderful piece of work and I highly recommend that when you have little else to do and inclination to read in rhyme that you pick up a copy of the play and read it to yourself, if you can keep from giggling long enough to do so. Sometime this weekend, about the same time I type it up for my class, you'll be able to read Tartuffe, by Moliere, adapted by Yours Truly and Her Classmate.

Third, on a more political note, for those of my readers in Nebraska, Senator Ben Nelson will be on Creighton's campus tomorrow talking about Healthcare Reform. I will be in attendance. I'll let you know if I laugh or cry, or a bit of both, but either way I have to get some video for the folks back home. They don't believe me when I say that Nebraska is actually a state worthy of representation in the national government. Ah, stupid Californians... I do love thee.

And finally, I have made up my mind (just now, literally) to give you a sample of my pilot episode. Just a few scenes to generate interest and maybe get a few laughs. I just can't help but share.

Now, my friends, I have to wake up early tomorrow to be a guinea pig, I mean, research subject in a psychological study. Good night, y'all!

Where has the time gone?

Well, guys, time goes here. Or at least I do now. Most of you already know this. For those of you who don't, I'm telling you.

College is absolutely wonderful. I won't talk too much about it, I promise. But I could... College, however, is incredibly busy. I hardly have time to think, let alone blog. But this is not to say that I haven't been busy. Most of my old projects are on the back burner right now, though they still get some TLC when the mood strikes me. Most of the time, I'm doing homework, but that's creative enough in its own way. And some of that homework is actually fiction, too! Recently, however, I've branched out into a new arena: script writing. I'm 20 pages into my latest script and I think its pretty good, even unedited. And it has led me to discover something new and possibly wonderful...


I know that's a big picture to look at, but look at it anyway! Script Frenzy 2010 is when amateurs and professionals all over the world in many different languages and styles write 100 pages of script and upload it onto this site. I don't have all the details, so google it and find out for yourself. I can tell you that there are a lot of free script writing programs that make formatting easier. The one I'm using right now is Celtx. Google it as well and you'll find a free download of the full program. Script Frenzy also has a link to the same download if googling it is too much work. This year, I'm going to take part in Script Frenzy and I encourage you to do the same. They even let people co-write scripts together. Maybe you could find a buddy and write together. Sounds fun? No, I didn't think so either.

In the meantime, I'm supposed to be doing homework right now. Its not like I'm actually going to do any, I'm just supposed to be doing some. Look for updates every now and then. Life has finally stabilized to the point where I can do what I used to do for the most part. I may even post pictures of my new digs. I don't know... you'll just have to check back and see if I do.
