The last class I took, Publishing and Distribution, was
pretty tough. I finally ended up with a story through SmashWords about Snow
White. Here it is if you want to take a peek. My daughter was more than content posing, as long as she got to eat the apple when she was finished.
The class I’m participating with
now is Writing Workshop I: Film. This is very tricky to talk about because 1) I
totally love film and 2) the workshop classes are supposed to the most
difficult of all before graduation. It sort of reminds me of dating a totally
hot guy who can’t make up his mind where he wants to go until everything is
closed; I want to show him off, but … okay, that’s a lie. I’d keep him home to
myself, perfectly content. If you want to see a hot guy, go find your own!
Any-who,
for our class this week we had to create three loglines, which I did pretty
quickly. But after sleeping last night, compounded with the ability to work out
again, my brainwaves refuse to sleep with the other parts of my body. Exercise
not only stimulates physical health, but mental health as well. When I got home
this morning, at 5:00 a.m., I pulled the computer from my son’s room. (He
listens to music all night to sleep.) I sat down and rewrote the first three
loglines and added two more. When I was finished I couldn’t choose which three
to submit, so I submitted all of them. I figure that way the others can read
what they want and overlook the rest, but I won’t have to choose. Go ahead,
submit which one you like, or even hate… but if you hate it, you gotta give a
reason.
The Change - LOGLINE: When a babysitting teen cannot get her younger sister
changed for bed, intending on sneaking a boy over, she needs a solution to keep
her sister quiet or her parents will deny her summer trip to Brazil.
A Ride to Remember – LOGLINE: Two brothers unite for a Christmas
vacation in the Uintah Mountains on a weekend excursion, but an unscheduled
snowstorm separates them leaving one incapacitated. What will he do to survive
until help can be found, and how will he know if his brother is still alive?
Rocky Mountain High – LOGLINE: When a teen’s family spends their
vacation at their mountain retreat he never anticipates a zombie outbreak, and
uses pure grown marijuana to intoxicate the zombies. But will the drug trigger
mental interference or heighten the zombie’s hunger?
Lightning Strikes – LOGLINE: A new Air Force recruit, nearly hit by
lightening, discovers her neurons increased reasoning speeds by 80x, but is she
quick enough to save a school from destruction when a man, asserting to be the unclaimed son of
Satan, gains interior access?
Snowed In – LOGLINE: A single woman must defend herself when her psychotic ex
breaks in to “set things right” in the middle of the night. But the situation
gets hot when the snow flies trapping the sadistic ventriloquist with her for
the weekend.
(The last one’s antagonist is NOT named Edward. I said he’s
crazy, not crazy smart.)
Also, I
submitted my application to the place in Hollywood searching for a summer
intern last Monday with a couple of amazing letters from my instructors. (Wow, they were so good I couldn't believe they were for me.) I won’t find out for a couple of months, but I’m crossing my
fingers. The experience alone would be memorable. But if I am accepted, I’m
going to have to find a place to stay for a couple of months. This is pretty
scary when I don’t really know anyone out that way. We’ll see what happens
because everything always works out—I totally believe that. Life is just weird, but you gotta love it anyway.
