Getting Started . . .

I'm back! I had to take a little hiatus there for various reasons, which I'll get into at another time. But, for now, it's time to blog. . .

I've been focusing on three things the past few days: finishing my query brochure, getting inspiration for a new writing project, and researching new writing techniques.

My brochure is pretty complete. I have two versions on which I am getting opinions. Once a final choice is made, I will be off to the copy center. All I need to do now is to get together a mailing list so I know how many copies I'll need to make.

I have a lot of ideas for writing, but I'm having trouble picking an idea to start on. It's not Writer's Block, it's just too many ideas and no starting point. I'll probably have to do some journaling or in depth outlining of some of my ideas to figure out where I want to start now.

I dragged all my screenwriting books out of my library to get ideas on queries, synopses, and starting new screenplays all together. I finally came to the conclusion that with Malice, I'm done. There isn't anymore I need to do at this point other than query, query, query. I just need to trust myself and jump in feet first.

So, that's where I am right now. I'm going start working on some outlining. I'm going to use Syd Field's Screenwriter's Workbook and Bob McKee's Story as a guide in getting started. I'm sure they'll give me tons of ideas. Logging off now; need to create. .
