Well, crap.
Okay.
Now that May 1st is here, Script Frenzy 2012 is officially over. And I haven’t finished the first draft of my HORROR MOVIE screenplay. What else is new?
All this means is, I didn’t finish in time for my self-imposed deadline.
That doesn’t mean I’ll stop writing, I’m just going to keep writing past the deadline. Ultimately, I’m supposed to be directing this movie (next summer, theoretically), and I can’t do anything until the script’s done, so I just have to keep whacking away at it.

There’s an annual on-line writing challenge held every April, going on a few years now, called Script Frenzy. It’s a sort of companion challenge of a November writing challenge, National Novel Writing Month (or, NaNoWriMo). Again, it’s a challenge, not a contest. And the challenge is this: to write and complete a written work in 30 days. NaNoWriMo challenges you to write a whole novel in 30 days, specifically 50, 000 words or longer (or, 1,667 words a day).

Man.
Time DO fly!
Well, this isn’t much of a post, I’m embarrassed to say, but that’s okay: this hasn’t been much of a blog.But I thought I’d post something just before we enter 2012 and get distracted by various end of the world events…

Okay, there may be a HUGE sliderule being used in terms of defining "big shot" here...
BUT, on March 26, DefTone Pictures Studios had their spectacular movie premiere for their zombie epic, THE FINAL NIGHT AND DAY, at the Hamburg Palace Theater, and I was one of the producers!

Check it out!
Since January, the lovely Mermaid Heather has been celebrating the start of her fifth year as a blogger. So to mark the momentous occasion, she's enlisted the aid of several of her blogger friends to submit a post on one of their favorite films. If you haven't checked out her blog devoted to reviews of horror films (with the occasional detour into other horror related topics), this is a good time to take the “plunge”-- an appropriate verb to use for MERMAID Heather, and I don't mean that to be lamely funny, but because it IS appropriate: Heather's a tad swim-crazy.
She ALSO works in a crime lab, which enhances her sultry coolness factor even more! Which is obvious, because nothing says sultry coolness than an intelligent young woman, well-versed in the ways of horror movies, who investigates a crime scene while clad in a fashionable bikini composed of elastane-nylon and polyurethane, and who’s ready to dispatch a malevolent fish at the drop of a hat!

As is my usual tradition come January, I CHEAT with regard to the previous year's Resolutions because I didn't follow through on them, or I started too late at the end of the year to properly fulfill them. So, I usually give myself an extra "grace period" in January to try and catch up.
Not surprising for a guy who's apparent life motto is "better late than never."
As a reminder, the 999 Movie Challenge was to watch 9 movies in 9 different "genres" a piece in 2009.
Or 81 total films.
