January Goals – 1/12/11

Thanks WriteOnOnline for the cool prize!

WriteOnOnline rocks!

Now, I just need to write a script so I can hear it spoken.

Goals for January:

Focusing more on blog/site:
-Clean up pages and categories
-Start defining mission statement
-Start thinking of logo ideas

1) Clear clutter from old house.

2) Move house!

3) New Year Resolution – hone and finish that script rewrite in new house!

Complete new screenplay

I plan to add another 12,000 words to my novel, Franky Benítez. Thanks for asking!

Goals! Easy:

- Make revisions to TV dramedy pilot and sneak it under agents/producers’ noses.
- Finish action/espionage screenplay. Hone elevator pitch. Become best pals with Doug Liman.
- Get to good mid-point on the Great Las Vegas Novel.
- Secure artist for new comic book pitch. Pitch. Hit. Win game. Go on to World Series. Win Series. (I think I took that metaphor a bit far.)

Goals. Rhymes with moles and holes; stoles and zoles. I have no idea what a zole is, but it may crop up somewhere in the near future in something I decide to write.

BUT: FOR THOSE JANUARY, 2011 GOALS, let’s see what is tangible:

I plan to enter 2 Contests on the merits of a script I wrote that beat out 3164 others in July of this year, 2010. for Contest #1: That means clearing 15,000 new words by January 24TH and then at the opposite end of the spectrum, to widdle down my logline for that script to only 250 characters for Contest #2.

Since there are so many great screenwriting contests online that have producers/managers and agents read those scripts (for a modest fee), I certainly recommend that monthly goals include a few entries, as you never know who may reading your famed words and take that project on!

That’s all…for the present!
