September You know what? I'm really proud of the NYCMidnight Short Screenplay Challenge entry I wrote and submitted this month. It was a prequel to the one I wrote in August, which means I'll be moving on toward expanding them out into a potential feature length maybe. I'm looking forward to my feedback from the judges. Also? On the 27th of this month, I had the incredibly awesome honor of having my Intermediate Acting Class [taught by Sean Maguire] workshop my first short screenplay from August for the entirety of the class! It was so incredible! And Sean said that when I get the next draft done, we can workshop it again!
October I am SO stoked that I got back into writing poetry in October! It wasn't much, but it's a start.
November I am actually REALLY proud of the piece I wrote for the NYCMidnight 250 Word Microfiction Challenge 2022. I worked really hard on it, started with one version and wasn't really happy with it and, instead of editing that, I just started over with the same concept, but a different angle. The second angle was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better. Fingers are crossed it was good enough to move on to the next round.
