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
Write, finish whatever I'm writing, and get it optioned. Lol
Expect a new script up soon

Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war. A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages. https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1624410571/
2014 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!
2014 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
