It’s been a long time… I shouldn’t have left you…

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:

Super Ted's Contest Life

The life and death of Super Ted in the screenwriting contest world.

Contests	Status	Next Step
Nicholl's	Did not make quarterfinals	None
Script PIMP	Did not make final 20	None
Silver Screenwriting	Made it to Quarterfinals. Knocked out in Semifinals.	None
Final Draft Big Break	No news	Quarterfinalists to be named late August

On a non-writing note, we’re getting the house! The drama for your mama finally came to an end and we’re just waiting for some conditions to be taken care of for the loan. Hopefully we’ll be heading over into the new spot in the first week of August. Yeah… hopefully, cause we’ve already given our 30 day notice to our landlord.

Not to be a Debbie Downer…

Oh, disappointment…

The house stuff is looking like it’ll take a miracle to work out.

Script PIMP announced their twenty finalists and Super Ted was NOT on the list.

But, the biggest bummer of the week?

I had to sit through the entire 99 excruciating minutes of What Happens In Vegas.

However, the weather’s beautiful today, there’s wine in my kitchen, and I have a four day weekend coming up… soooo, life’s not too bad.

Back to work I go.

EDIT: Woo-hoo! Super Ted was named today as a quarterfinalist in the Silver Screenwriting Competition.

Trying my best to Hakuna Matata

I’ve been completely slacking with my blog posts lately. My last few days in bullet points…

* Went into contract for what possibly could be our first house

* Experienced approximately three nervous breakdowns

* Celebrated SF Pride with some great friends and really bad beer

* Watched the USA Soccer Team fall to Ghana

* Went and saw Knight and Day… disappointed with it and yet unable to pinpoint why

The house stuff is super exciting, and yet I have this mild yet constant nausea that just won’t leave me the hell alone. Emails with documents needing my signature keep flooding in.

I need to get out of the house and leave my laptop at home if I’m going to get any writing in.

On July 1st, the Silver Screenwriting Competition will be announcing their quarterfinalists and Script Pimp will be releasing the list of their top 20 finalists and prize winners. I submitted Super Ted to both contests, so Thursday will be an exciting day.
