Sundance Screenwriters Labs

By |2016-12-31T02:17:30+00:00October 23rd, 2014|Uncategorized|0 Comments

So I found out awhile ago that Imagine This got into the 2nd round of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab and have gone from being super excited to thinking I don't stand a snowball's chance.  I finally let the cat out of the bag to a good friend who said I should be screaming it from the rooftops, because getting into the 2nd round is a big deal. I do want to scream with joy but my pessimistic optimism holds sway over the urge to brag too loudly about this amazing accomplishment.  I've no idea how many scripts were submitted or made it into the 2nd round.  What I do know is that if it's anything like the festival, it will be tons and the competition will be fierce.  Congratulations to all the other screenwriters who also made it this far. For now I shall buy myself a box of sweets and celebrate.  Yay [...]

Rejection – Part of The Life of a Writer

Rejection is one of those things every human being has to deal with on a daily basis; whether it’s about asking someone on a date, applying for a dream job, joining a social group, running for leader of a party or Prime Minister, or submitting an artistic piece of work.  Anything in which we need acceptance, approval or the ego boosting opinion of others, there is the certainty of rejection.  No matter how self-confident a person is, they feel distressed and crushed when rejected and it doesn’t get any easier, each rejection is a fresh wound that needs time to heal. Why am I talking about rejection, well because I submitted a script to yet another competition and several days ago received an email that it’s being considered for the second round.  I know, it should be a time to celebrate this partial victory and I did whoop and holler [...]

The Test in Testimony

By |2016-12-31T02:17:30+00:00August 13th, 2014|Podcast, SWoSSP|0 Comments

The above title is a phrase I’m borrowing.  I heard it this morning from a good friend of mine who called to commiserate my abysmal failure to raise the money I needed to get Sade’s World Short Story Podcasts off to a flying start. The campaign ended on Saturday with a total balance of £414.00, which after fees from Indiegogo, Paypal and credit card charges, came to a total of £360.43.  I have to admit I was rather disappointed, but most importantly I felt a lot of shame for some strange reason, even though I had nothing to be ashamed of.  But I guess I was feeling very sensitive and very bruised by the whole experience.  So I curled up under my duvet, (I do that a lot when things don’t go my way) I shut the world away and had a pity party all by myself. However, hunger drove me [...]
