New Year, New Blog, Same Life.

So, the highlights of what Q1 2007 have in store for me:

New Job. I have a new part-time job outside the home, my first time working for someone other than myself in about four years. I didn't expect to get the job, since I don't have anything resembling a resume, but I felt so strongly about it that if I didn't at least try for it I knew I'd kick myself. I guess that passion must have translated well into my interview, because I start on Tuesday. I'm very excited about this company, its mission, its future, and the people who work there.

More classes. It seems I am a perennial student. This quarter I continue to work on my TV Writing Certificate at UCLA Extension, plus I'm taking another online writing class, so that makes three classes altogether in addition to my new job. I'm sure I'll be fine, I just have to stay on top of things.

Writing projects. First up is my feature screenplay, which I'll be referring to as KoD in this blog. Need to get this one done in time to submit for Nicholls. After that it's back to spec scripts to get ready for Disney and WB, but that'll be more like 2nd quarter of this year. If I manage to find the time during first quarter I'd like to finish up my short story (which I'll refer to as "NDA") to enter in the Glimmer Train new writers contest.

That's about all I've got going on right now. Please feel free to drop me an email if you want more details or want to volunteer to critique any of my writing.
