Still alive and well

Just so you don’t think I’ve fallen into oblivion, I am still around… All of a sudden I have work coming out of my ears so I really have to get quite a few of these tasks completed before I can continue with Screenwriting Structure Part 3…
Some good stuff coming up though! Stay tuned.
On a POSITIVE note…
After literally thousands of unssuccessful and three successful hacking attempts on Screenwriting Scoop! — we (meaning my tech guy and I) have finally patched up all the holes and have it back up and running and KNOCK ON WOOD, we think it’s pretty secure…
Now watch the Russian Hackers come back and kick my ass.
News?
Sure, there’s always some news, isn’t there?
I’m a little late in helping announce this but there’s a SUMMER CONTEST happening over at MyVisualPitch.com. You’ve got till August 24, 2007 to upload up to three loglines or Visual Pitches to their web site…
First Place prize is a $1000 and a consultation with me… In other words, I’ll read your script and give you some feedback on it good or bad. If it’s really good — you never know but it has to be REALLY FUCKING GOOD.
You know how I am with contests so at least I’m semi-involved with this one. No… I won’t lead you by the hand but if your script has potential, I’ll tell you. If it’s not something we’d be interested in… I’ll tell you. If it has potential but needs work, I’ll tell you. If you want to bust your ass on it (assuming it has potential), I’m willing to read and consider the final draft…
In the Scribosphere, some really good reading lately…
Over at MaryAn’s: That Would Never Happen
Over at Josh’s place he mixes it up with his craft and politics…
Over at Bill Martell’s Sex in a Sub blog, he discusses what’s happening to him and it’s always great reading… Check out his web site: Script Secrets and buy his Blue Books! They’re worth every $5 bill I spent on them.
Emily Blake at White Board Markers always makes me laugh…
Mystery Man has gotta be the most bloggingest (is that a word?) screenwriter I know… How in the HELL do you do that?
Nick, the The World’s Greatest Writerist and Spatula from SuperGun Cinema have been busy as hell not only writing but creating The Poke Show. Give it a look-see! Spat, what’s up with your blog?
Dave over at Man Bytes Hollywood is on hiatus but there’s more than enough over there to keep you busy…
John August talks about his recent trip to Africa…
Craig of The Artful Writer talking about the WGA…
If I missed anyone, let us know what you’re writing about in the comments…
Back to work… Screenwriting Structure Part 3 coming up soon!

Russian haxxors? That’s like Rocky IV, bitch!
My blog… broken.. I fixed it… somehow…
Think of me plodding around in a dark tunnel with spikes on the walls. That’s me coding a wordpress thingy in PHP on an HTML internet webserver MYSQL thing…. thing.
Ah what the hell, I’m too busy for this! I’m going to LA at the end of the month for two days. How’s the Rosevelt (sp?) hotel? That’s where they’re keeping me.
Okay, I’ll play.
What have I been blogging about? My assignment to write a script set on safari in Botswana and the new challenges it has presented. Which also led me into a discussion on writing ensemble films.
Keep up the writing the good stuff, Unk!
I envy the person who gets to take you home as the first-place prize.
[Ethical issue: Would it be wrong of me to enter my own contest? I could be COMPLETELY objective...]
Thank you for the link and for your involvement. I hope we find that lucky someone to help take their career to the next level, and, as always, appreciate your generosity.
Thanks for the referral. Just when I think my blog is an empty box . . .
Hey, thanks for the plug Unk.
Here’s my payment for your kindness:
You’ve been tagged.
Spat,
As it turns out, one of the Russian hackers is a brother of a Russian producer… How did I find this out? Let’s just say that after 10 plus years on the internet, I’m fairly adept at Internet Revenge… I don’t hack but I have all the same tools they’ve got so I gave them a taste of their own medicine.
And with a little revenge and Google translator… It’s all good. Big brother has access to lots of money and there may even be a meeting in the works.
Now that’s fucking hilarious…
Joel,
Why are we not exchanging links? BAM! Done.
MaryAnita…
You always make me think over at your blog… Never an empty box.
Nick,
WTF?
I just read your blog… 8 RANDOM things about me. LOL. Got a million of ‘em.

HAHAHA! Only you could turn a haxxor into an investor! Way to be, man. Way to be.
[...] little different today… A long time reader, Mike Scherer sent me an email thanking me for the post about MyVisualPitch.com back in July… His email was so cool that I went ahead and asked him [...]
