Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

appy New Year! 2010 was a productive year for the Little Engine, but more than anything 2010 sewed seeds for 2011. While I hope to learn about synopsis letters this week, I've already started to work on new projects.

Namely, I've written draft log lines for about a dozen screenplays and for two of them I've already outlined main characters, sub-characters and their subtexts, what each screenplay's major (and minor) dramatic questions are and potential locations for different scenes. All broad strokes, but steps in the right direction. Tonight I'll work on a third. I've also reached out to folks in my class. Hopefully we can continue critiquing each others' work each week as that proved very helpful.

A friend asked me what my New Year's resolution was. I didn't think twice: To write my ass off. It's alright.
