Script Fenzy Starting Soon

I got an email yesterday reminding me that Script Frenzy is gearing up for April. For those of you that haven't heard of it, Script Frenzy is a challenge similar to NaNoWriMo where you write a 100 page script during the month of April. You can check the website for more information.

Now on to why I'm talking about Script Frenzy. I got the email and a part of me went "I want to do it! Let's do it!". I've attempted Script Frenzy before and got about 40 pages in before I let life get in the way. It was fun while I was doing it. But another part of me said, "oh no, you're supposed to be in a new screenwriting course on April 14. Do you really want to try to work on two scripts at the same time? Not to mention HorseSchoolsOnline and my determination to have my young adult fantasy submitted by then."

I have a pattern and habit of stacking on too much stuff at once and then becoming overwhelmed. One of my goals for writing this year was to not allow myself to tackle too many projects at one time. So, I won't be doing Script Frenzy this year. I wish lots of luck to all of my friends who will be doing it and know that I'll be cheering you on.

    I wanted to give it a shot this year too, but I didn't buckle down and finish other things first. I'm in the same boat you are. :0)

Books to Movies Giveaway Hop

One of my favorite subjects are books to movies. I LOVE watching adaptations and studying the skill of turning a book into a movie. Adaptations are getting a lot of attention now with the success of the Twilight and The Hunger Games series. I could go on and on about the skill it takes to adapt a movie from a book, but I won't bore you. Instead I'll just give you a couple of my favorites: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen ~ Pride and Prejudice (A&E version) Emma by Jane Austen ~ Clueless The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum ~ Tin Man Cinderella ~ Ever After How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell ~ How to Train Your Dragon For the hop I decided to giveaway a copy of another one of my favorite adaptations. This is the first movie I consciously remember knowing it was based on a book and actually went out and read the book. The specifics of the plot are different, but the characters and overall arc are the same. Besides Hayley Mills is charming in the role ...

Welcome to my Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday snippet. You can read other #sffsat snippts here. Unicorn Keep is a young adult fantasy romance about a girl who swaps places with her best friend to become a unicorn keeper. *** “Your family sent you alone,” Herrick said. Of course they had, they had believed she was traveling on a well-traveled road to the closest city with Wilm as her escort. But she didn’t say that. Instead, she sat up taller. “You’re traveling alone.” “I’m not a child.”   She glared at him. “I’m not a child either.” “You couldn’t be more than fifteen.”   Her irritation grew at his accurate guess.   *** Available as an ebook from Amazon , Barnes and Noble , and Smashwords . Available as a print book from Create Space and Amazon .
