I’ve just submitted Reclaim to the UCLA Screenplay Competitions.There are literally hundreds of competitions so I’ve found the key is to enter selectively based on criteria that works for me. I must thank Irin for his endless wisdom and advice as I grow and learn as a screenplay writer.
I just got my script off to an agent out in L.A. and I’m up at 2:12 AM writing in my journal and setting a field of intention for the conference. I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I have a life coach in London who encouraged me to take something related to the [...]
Although I’ve been on a sabattical for 5 months, good things have come my way. I’ve been invited to attend and autograph books at Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference. I’ll be at the Verizon Wireless Booth October 25th and 26th. Please stop by and say “Hi!”. This is Maria Shriver’s last conference as the Govenor’s wife. [...]
I’ve taken a self-imposed sabbatical for five months. I’ve hardly seen or spoken to anyone. I’ve been completely obsessed with writing the most brilliant screenplay I can and submitting it to Sundance. So, now what? How do I feel? Complete, proud, grateful and amazed. I had no idea what I was jumping into and I [...]

May 13th I started jotting down notes for a book. May 18th I decided to write a screenplay instead of a book. May 24th I got Final [...]
September 29, 2010 Well, I had an amazing creative spurt. I’d hired someone to analyze my script. I got back 11 pages of critique. Somehow I knew just how to fix all the issues. Of course I asked for the Universe’s support. I started writing at 8:30 AM on Tuesday morning and I stopped writing [...]
Universe, what can I say beyond, “Thank you, again!” As I’ve mentioned earlier, I began writing letters daily to the Universe. I’ve never been good at meditating or journaling, so I decided what would work for me is writing letters. I start off every day writing a letter in a Composition Book left over from [...]
It may not sound huge to you but it feels huge to me. My original screeplay submitted to a screenplay competition was ranked in the top 200 out of thousands. That was my original story which some experts said wasn’t good. Hmmmm…… I think the key is stay true to yourself and your inspiration. That [...]
Well, I’ve found that over the last week I’ve been blocked, had breakthroughs, gotten stuck and unstuck more times than I can to remember. Each time I find a new way to move forward is exhilarating. Each setback the pits. It is difficult to not blame myself for not thinking harder or smarter. I often [...]
I love TUT’s messages (www.TUT.com). The one this AM had a link to an audio clip. In the audio clip Mike Dooley talks about how we feel often as if there is something wrong with us. (Yes, that’s me from time to time.) That we feel we are doing something wrong and hit glass walls [...]
