With the end of the year near, I wanted to give a few thoughts on what was good and what to look forward to.

I’m keeping it short and sweet at just three items per…

2014

Writing stuff--
In 2014, I optioned a script,
I wrote one new screenplay
Re-wrote two existing works

Non-writing stuff—
Made manager in my company
Bought a new car
Stayed married (a testament to my wife’s ability to deal with the dumb shite)

2015

Writing stuff—
Start a new script with a member here (she knows who she is)  
Get my optioned script made into a movie
Participate more on this site (give back)

Non-writing stuff—
Lose weight
Complete an invention I’m almost done with
Complete my second photo-journal book

How about you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S SIMPLY SCRIPTS!!!

Shawn…..><

Wrote a ton of shorts - sold, optioned or had produced 15 of them and won an award or two along the way.
Sold one short for translation into a feature, fingers and everything else crossed that this happens.
Most importantly, learnt a ton, much of it from the great SS community - thanks all.

2015
Finish my first feature, and write more some more.
Continue to constructively contribute on here (and elsewhere).
Continue to learn.

Thanks all and here's to 2015, sure it's gonna be awesome!

Writing-wise, I don't think I actually accomplished anything this year.

Next year, look out for more of the same.

Happy New Year. =)

I seriously don't remember - the years and events just blurr for me into one.

2015
Plan to finish a Christmas feature and really work on polishing. THen rewrite and rewrite - I'm not good at it as I often bail out and start something new. so, I'm thinking this time I won't. I like the concept and I want to submit it later to comps. So let's see.


Happy New Year, everyone!!! And congrats on all the accomplishments - looking good.

Happy 2015 -- hope this will be a good year for everyone here, writing-wise and non-writing wise.

As for my writing accomplishments/goals - not much, really:

2014

Started screenwriting.
Uh... wrote a few crappy shorts.

2015

Get better.
Write more than a few pages a month. Even considering I only started in July and have been reading plenty of scripts/about screenwriting, I've been slacking on the actual writing.
Write a pilot.
Write my first feature and hopefully at least 1 more.
And if I consider something I wrote good enough, enter a screenwriting competition.

An extra good luck from me to Dustin (I've always found your motivation about screenwriting/filmmaking inspiring) and Angry Bear (5 features sounds like a big goal and I liked the have fun tag), and a big congratulations to Anthony (15 shorts optioned/sold in a year is amazing).

Hey DS, I think you have made good progress, and quickly. All the best.

If you want a read, let me know.

2015

For me...

Keep learning

Keep trying

Keep being able to take the knocks on the chin - they happen all too often

Keep dreaming, of what is unlikely, but still ...

Keep enjoying - otherwise what's the point

Keep...whatever follows next ...


My scripts  HERE

The Elevator Most Belonging To Alice - Semi Final Bluecat, Runner Up Nashville
Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.  Third - Honolulu
