a beautiful day for a rejection
I'm not going to be giving a play-by-play of my agent search here, but it has begun, and today I marked an important milestone: I received my first rejection letter! Hooray, I'm a real author on the road to publication!
My Script Frenzy screenplay is coming along nicely. I'm up to page 40, which is great in terms of the 100-page goal for the month. Not so good considering that I'm at the point in the plot that's supposed to fall one quarter of the way through the script. I'm following the structure outlined in Save the Cat!, which is for a 110-page screenplay, and I was figuring 120 pages would be fine -- at a minute a page, that's a two-hour movie. But 160 pages is right out. So we'll see how it goes. I'm really enjoying the process of adapting one of my novels into a script and figuring out how to tell the story in a different medium.
The weather today, wow. I hope those of you who had it to enjoy were able to get outside and enjoy it, and that those of you who didn't have it don't hate the rest of us too much.
