I'm so friggin excited right now I can hardly stand it. Breaking Thresholds has caught the attention of a production company. They read the book. They liked the book. Before they decide if they want to make a movie out of it, they would like to see a screenplay. They want me to do the screenplay. I've got two weeks left. I've never done a screenplay, so I'm learning a lot. I used to gripe when going to see a movie based off a book I'd read. You know, the book is always better than the movie because in the movie, they change things and cut things out. Well, now I know why that is. I understand. I've accepted it. I'm just happy that I get to be the first one doing the screenplay for my novel. The changes I've been making will make the story work so much better cinematically. And the heart of the story is still there...mainly, who and where is Desmond?
Still loving our new home. The newness hasn't worn off yet, but I'm really starting to feel like it's "my" house. It's so nice.
I've put off working on Djinn: A Love Story to do the screenplay. I'm almost finished in making my outline, or "treatment" (tee hee hee...screenplay lingo). I'm excited about this and can hardly think about anything else.
Oh, if you haven't already, go see Repo! The Genetic Opera. Great movie! Seriously. And Coraline is sufficiently creepy for those into Tim Burton's stuff. Truly amazing work. The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button was awesome! What a great meditation on life, love, the aging process, and who we are. We watched these movies this weekend. It was a good weekend.
Something else I've been getting into...Wii! Yes. I play games. And Wii is a blast! I love doing bowling night with my family. So fun.
Anyway, there's my latest update. Not much to report. And not much time to muse on various things. Drop me a line sometime!
