November Write Club Challenge

page 75 plot points at key moments, drama in check, comedy where needed. Just did a read through and it seems to flow, granted I wrote it, so only slightly biased. Buckle up I'm in the home stretch.

Had to stop writing over the weekend, bit got back into it Monday. I have my ending, now going back to the beginning ans outlining!!!!

"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."

- Ray Bradbury

It's official... I've shelved my pilot rewrite - for now. With barely 10 days remaining I've switched over to the foolishly optimistic idea that I'll revisit my old feature concept and blast out a draft before December. Am I mad or simply rising to a new "challenge"? Don't answer just yet, but keep the drinks coming.

Write on!

Draft off to grammar editor - still tweaking but about 90% done

...not edited yet but I definitely put most of my focus on completing it this week! My goal is to write two more episodes. I definitely want to submit Gates of Eden to the Stage 32 TV writing competition.

I am so patting myself on the back for getting this work done. It's wonderful how much better you feel about yourself when you are completing your goals no matter how crazy the dream is.

Happy writing to all!

I've written about 12,000 words of my NaNoWri Novel, ran out of steam, but I do like what I've come up with so far. Will try to get back to it this week.

Okay - while my grammar gets edited - I go and work each scene backwards as a stand alone. It forces me to work on the scene and not the story - gives a different perspective.

Still working on my short story, waiting to hear back from my editor on my novel (but I think it might be December before I do).

For some reason, I thought the TV Writing Contest would start accepting submissions later, so now I'm also working on fixing my pilot script so that I can submit in for the Early Bird Deadline on December 6.

I slowed down a lot in the last week. Went out of town for a few days and didn't get any writing done and had to easy my way into the process again. Wrote about 3K yesterday in my short story and hoping still to get it done before Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone else is having a good month!
