Another week in Margaritaville

Hello, my Peeps – hope you all are doing well.

Not much writing accomplished this week – but I did do a rewrite of one of my older scripts. Much improved if I do say so myself. Now, I need to revisit the story line and ensure the story logic is correct, tighten up a few scenes, ratchet up the tension a bit. The script is called DELUDED and the logline runs something like this:

A jilted homicide detective falls for the sister of his high school sweetheart while struggling to solve a series of murders only to discover his new girlfriend’s affections have nothing to do with love.

Deluded is in the vein of Sea of Love meets Basic Instinct.

As for my attempts at landing representation? Sent out an additional thirty-seven queries – two were kicked back for invalid email addresses. I swear this is the most frustrating part of the query process – finding reliable/valid email addys. But, this is where the Three Ps come into play:

Persistence. Persistence. Persistence.

If an address doesn’t work for me – say, first-initial-last-name@yaddayadda.com – I will try: last-name, then first-name, then first and last initials, ad nausea. You get the idea. It takes time – but it mostly works.

Like to point you one or two faithful readers out there in CyberSpace to a new screenwriting message board: The GITS Club Message Board at http://www.gitsclub.proboards.com/ — swing on by and give it a test drive.

Well, that’s a wrap for this week.

Keep Writing
