This is the first bit of feedback I’ve gotten on a screenplay.

Considering that I conceived of The Seventh Date back in 2012, wrote a short story of it in 2014, published that story in 2016, wrote the screenplay in 2017––and then rewrote it in 2018/19––I’m immensely honored and relieved to see it advance in a contest.

Here’s hoping it makes it to at least the Finalist round, as those get some real attention from the industry. I think this tale would charm and thrill audiences.

Upside Down Pictures…It won’t cost much, and it’d be perfect for you guys. Whatdya say?

The script did not advance in the Golden Script contest; still waiting to hear about a few others.

As far as fiction publishing/writing goes, I’m finishing up a ghastly novella and still waiting to hear about publication dates for two anthologies that will feature my stories.

Writing is tough. It’s often hard for writers to know if they’re on the right track, if their hours of effort will pay off in any way. Honest feedback can be scarce.

But if you as a writer are honest and quiet with yourself in the process, you’ll know if what you’re working on is something you or the few people you’re close to would truly want to read or see.

If so, the effort is worth it. Keep working. You’ll tell the story, and that story will reach somebody and make them feel something. And that means everything.

Keepin’ on…
