Goodbye 2020 and Hooray to 2021!

 

I know we all feel like the title to this post. Wow, what a year full of crazy it was! I look back and am pleased with my writing output and I'm still at it. Of course I am because if you've been paying attention to this blog at all you know that writing is a compulsion of mine.

I'm in flux right now since the feature script getting all the attention was written with a lot of my own pain inside of it, so it was particularly hard to write. I am not a fan of painful writing so I hope that's not the only path to selling scripts.  

Luckily I love writing fairy tales and I have an opportunity right now that is very juicy in that regard. I have a fairy tale trilogy that could go well beyond that. It's fun to write and I get depressed at every conclusion because I want to stay in that fairy tale land when it comes to writing. If you do something daily like I do where do you want to live? Fairy tale cuteness or pain and sadness? 

2020 gave me another published short which was wonderful and I look forward to it coming out in March 2021 in Common Tongue Magazine's first edition. When Lightening the Way was published Soft Cartel let me know it was peaking their hits to a level they investigated it trying to find out what was going on. That was very cool and my writing partner keeps bugging me to write that as a feature script. I might, but I have a lot of other projects. 

Also in 2020 a feature script, you know that one with all the pain in it, is in consideration with two movie production companies and one producer. I am hoping it's my breakthrough but again I have fear that what they will want in future scripts is more pain. Luckily I have a good opportunity at the same time on one of my fairy tales so maybe if that goes too I won't get pigeonholed into one thing when it comes to writing. That would be really rough too since I also love writing science fiction. 

Hey I also know my life may mean I only sell one, but that one they are all considering right now, I think if it gets made it's going to go very big. Let's just say I think we can all relate and visually it should be pretty stunning. 

Lastly, in 2020 I actually started winning at poker and literally won money in six different  games within a couple of weeks. That event caused a reaction from the platform I had the run of luck and it wasn't a good one unfortunately, even though I thought they were the champions of poker play. Oh well, so it goes, writing is my real passion and poker was my distraction between writing. 

So hope you feel good about some parts of 2020 because I do and I bet if you look for it you will find good things that happened in your life too this year. Like you, however, I've never been so ready to kick out this year to get to 2021. I am definitely going to celebrate the New Year! Let's all do that!
