Summer Project #3: AFF Reading is DONE!

[zainybrain]

I did it, I did it, I completed all the script reading and critiques for Austin Film Festival on Friday night before midnight! Yay!

Turned in my last checked-out and read scripts yesterday after the Austin Screenwriters Group meeting. And that's another big ol' burden off my back!

• Project #1: Complete rewrite of CAN'T SAY NO and submit to AFF and other script contests - DONE
  
• Project #2: Coordinate a one-day writers workshop with script guru Michael Hauge - DONE
  
• Project #3: Read/judge scripts for AFF and get the Producer's Pass - DONE
  
• Project #4: Write a first chapter and do a synopsis for the Hawaii Writers Conference contest of the supernatural mystery I thought of last year: PINKY BLACK AND THE BITERS.

Yes, I do these to myself, but it's in the arena where I am ambitious. Not so ambitious at my dayjob. I believe in giving value for my paycheck. I believe in learning new things and taking on challenges for personal growth. So I do find growth in my dayjobs.

The summer projects of 2009 were mostly about giving myself opportunities in where I hope to transition to full-time someday: being a writer / screenwriter / story developer.
