370 Out of 6048

Earlier this year, I wrote my first screenplay–a fantasy-genre comedic adventure story, Arazel & Xarenia. I decided to send it out to a few screenwriting contests to put it to use while I worked on more screenplays. Well, today I recieved this letter from the Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting (one of the higher profile contests out there). My screenplay wasn’t among the 320 that advanced to the quarterfinals, but the note at the bottom of the letter stated that it was “among the next 50 scripts.” In the top 370 out of 6048 entries…with a comedy…in the fantasy-genre…that’s something I can be really proud of.

    Coding, Alamo, and Bob

    As soon as I started work on coding something, someone sends me a link to a program that might work. I’m running it through its paces though. The program is PostNuke, and it looks like it might be flexible enough to handle what I’m looking for…with a little tweaking that is. ^_^

    On Friday, July 25th, the Alamo Draft House will be featuring a Dracula Night hosted by Jason Henderson, writer of the new Image Comics series, Sword of Dracula. If you’re in Austin, and you like vampires and comics, this will be an event to check out.

    Bob the battleship.
    The very friendly battleship.
    He does backflips.
    He takes us on trips.
    He’s Booooo-oooooob…the battleship.

    And my crazy comic story about a battleship kiddie show host that loses it on the set one day will be in stores in August (via Digital Webbing Presents #10).

    Finally…since I’m still working on getting my current scripts section updated (and adding my new screenplays section), here’s a little sample–the opening sequence of my Arazel & Xarenia screenplay (it’s in pdf format). Enjoy!

    Quick Site Update

    Been a long time since the last update here…I’ve been testing out a few different programs for the site to help out with my comic scripts and new screenplay/prose sections. Unfortunately, it looks like I’m gonna have to code a custom solution for it.

    Just one more month until Wizard World Chicago. I’ll be up there helping out with the Digital Webbing Booth…if you’re there, feel free to drop on by.
