What’s new in K-town?<\/p>\n

I’ve become accustomed to my tiny space such that I want to trick it out. There’s a closet specifically built for a murphy bed, so I may return it to its original state and install one in there. \u00a0The question remains; should I use the closet for a full size bed or a twin and put shelves next to it? Space is at a premium in this 250 sq ft cage so I have to be prudent.<\/p>\n

I can’t stand clutter so if I can close it away behind a door, I’m happy. That said, my place is a mess, but that makes my brain askew too. I sit here typing and I see a clump of things next to my desk that need to be put away, yet there they are, taunting me. It’s an odd tug of war.<\/p>\n

As for writing updates, the sold screenplay was delivered to the production company and any day now I’m expecting some notes. \u00a0I feel as if I have moved upward into a different stage of being a screenwriter and I have a solid feeling of accomplishment.<\/p>\n

Also, one of my scripts hasn’t been kicked off the island in what I’ve come to lovingly describe \u00a0as Survivor: Agency Edition.<\/p>\n

Here’s the scenario:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You \u00a0submit your screenplay to a Production Company A<\/li>\n
  2. However, Production Company A only takes screenplays from Agency X<\/li>\n
  3. You then submit your screenplay to Agency X.<\/li>\n
  4. If Agency X hasn’t lost your submission (this happened to me), you get sent paperwork clearing them of any liability, CYA paperwork etc.<\/li>\n
  5. You sign the paperwork and…<\/li>\n
  6. wait….<\/li>\n
  7. and wait….<\/li>\n
  8. and wait……..<\/li>\n
  9. and… you get the idea….<\/li>\n
  10. Coverage is being made by readers (you hope) on your script so that the agency can decide on whether to pass it on to Production Company A<\/li>\n
  11. The coverage is acceptable and your script gets pitched to Production Company A …<\/li>\n
  12. And this is where I’m at. Stage 11.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What happens next? \u00a0Who knows? \u00a0As Willy Wonka\/Gene Wilder once said: “The suspense is terrible… I hope it’ll last.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
