2009 Resolutions

Okay, normally my New Year’s Resolution is to not make any New Year’s Resolutions. Not this year!

Resolution #1: Get in shape. Lose weight. Get healthy. Okay, that’s three, but they are all related. A healthy writer is an effective writer. I already have the gym membership and have been to the gym twice.

Resolution #2: Write at least three (3) – count ‘em three – new screenplays. I went to Panera this morning at 6:30 AM and wrote until 11:30 AM. Started a new screenplay, a Rom Com – at least I hope that’s what I’m writing. If it turns out to be not so funny, well, then it’s a romance. Anyway, wrote twenty pages. Sounds like a lot, but I’ve been working on this script for at least a year off and on and by that I mean thinking about it, brainstorming it, then doing character studies and two outlines: a short one and a much more detailed one.

Resolution #3: Query as many production companies as possible – New York and L.A. I have the list of companies I plan on targeting, ‘canned’ queries for four of my scripts, and next week, when things in Hollyweird get back to normal, out they go.

Resolution #4: Update this blog more often. Hey, it’s day two and this is my second post. So far so good.

What are your New Year’s Resolutions?  

Keep Writing!
