"I Write, Therefore I Strike"

The Missus and I have worked hard to bring screenwriters, writers, as well as their friends, and family everywhere, a way to show their solidarity and support.

We have a whole new section at the shop dedicated to The Great Writers' Strike of 2007-2008, with the slogan "I Write, Therefore I Strike." Doesn't that sound like something Rene would've said if he were a striking screenwriter?

Some of the clothing costs a little more because the designs are printed on both the front and the back, this is a Cafe Press expense because of the cost of printing on both sides. This was also my idea because this way the message can be seen up and down the picket line, as well as any where the writer or supporter goes.

In a show of solidarity, we are also selling the "Value Shirt" that Cafepress offers AT COST.

"A '6S' Story"

A Six Sentence story for all my screenwriting friends and for those that live their lives at forty-eight frames-per-second.

A warm thanks to Robert McEvily for providing the venue and to Katie Schwartz for bullying me into it.

As I Move Forward...

...well, sideways, really. Other than:

Tweaking a screenplay for submission for a contest last year...

...then taking it out this Spring to chastise it for not being the one that was going to land me the director's job and three picture deal, I've pretty much thrown the towel in on screenwriting.

I have a screenplay or two, still in me and they will be done before the decade is over. The number one priority is to test my limits as a writer in terms of different genres and to not bore myself or duplicate the same style twice. To wit, that has meant writing a short story about every eighty hours and I have succeeded so far in doing just that.

Are they all top shelf quality? I'd be a bad writer if I said they were.

One of them was even published online and another is still waiting on any response at all from an Ezine. Another will be published in the near future, hopefully. The point I'm trying to make before I go traveling to far down tangent road, is that I'm trying to build forward momentum in terms of actually having a career in writing.

So far, so decent and I haven't been bored.
