Even while I’m hard at work on another script, and revving up for a collaboration with fellow writer David Burton, I’m super jazzed about this script.

I’ve finished my latest script, ‘The Gospel of Simon Magus’.

A 2,000 year old sorcerer, cursed by Saint Peter to be reborn every 99 years, attempts to avenge the murder of his one true love and win salvation by hunting down his former disciples.

So far I have sent the work to my Beloved First Readers, as well as queries to Michael Pitt’s agent and Gary Whitta’s (author of ‘The Book of Eli’) rep. This script will be my main focus for a good bit, as I want to get it into fighting shape for the various competitions.

A friend of mine’s band. I really dig the sound.

Give it to You

I think the thing about writing is you are never, ever going to know if you REALLY have talent. And even if you sell something, well, maybe you used up your stockpile of ability on that one job. So in the end, you write because you HAVE TO, not for validation.

A great, easy to read primer that distills (what should be) obvious information in a humorous, thoughtful manner. As a ‘Wannabe’ myself I found this to be a useful brush-up on the basics. If you’re just starting out, I’d put this up there with ‘Save the Cat’ as a must read.

Starting work on next script. Mainly the outline. I have the first act down in my head, but need to flesh everything out before I start the actual writing. Really excited about this one, it’s one of the reasons I started writing scripts and I think I finally have the ability to do it justice. More details to come…

I suppose everyone who writes scripts thinks “Man, wouldn’t it be awesome if INSERT ACTOR played this part?”

Well, I’m no different. I can watch the following ladies and gentlemen in just about anything they do, because they just have that much talent.

So, without further ado:

Entered LPM into Shriekfest, a highly regarded horror/sci-fi script contest. Rereading the script, I fell in love with it all over again. Do I think it stands much of a chance? Well, not really. It’s very edgy, has lots of dark humor, and for it to see production it would need a ballsy producer willing to take a chance.

Still, that might just happen. It’s funny as hell, original, and the merchandising opportunities are off-the-hook.

Anyhow, a script is like a child, and I have to give LPM it’s chance, because I believe in it.
