But there’s no way I’m complaining.

The good:  We signed on the house yesterday evening.  It’s ours.  Keys will be in our hands on Friday (along with some margaritas).

The bad:  The quarterfinalists for the 2010 Final Draft, Inc. Big Break Contest were announced yesterday and Super Ted was NOT on the list.

First of all, my sincere congrats to those who made the cut.

Secondly, yesterday was an absolute cluster, but I had about five minutes before stepping in to sign house documents to be hurt regarding Super Ted’s early exits from this season’s contests.  That’s all four of the contests I entered now… Super Ted has been knocked out of all of them.

I don’t know if this house stuff is keeping me focused on something else and helps keep everything in perspective, or if I’m going to collapse once the rush slows down.

Either way, I’ll K.I.M. the Tribe Called Quest way and keep it moving… continue with rewriting Super Ted, querying it, and outlining my new one.

Oh hi.

It’s been a little bit since we visited.  There has been a lot going on and blah… blah… blah…

The typical.  Life’s been busy so my blog has been the first to get pushed to the side.  But, hopefully things are starting to calm down.

The folks at Nicholl’s decided that my script, Super Ted, was not one of the 326 to make it on to their quarterfinals.  The news stung for about seven hours, but I feel like I haven’t had an opportunity to really dwell on it.  I’m rewriting it and prepping to send query letters out at the end of this week.

After the news from Nicholl’s, and with Script PIMP giving Super Ted the boot earlier in the month, the contest recap as of now is as follows:
