Well, Script Frenzy ended last night. It was a grand event, perhaps the best Script Frenzy yet! I managed to complete 101 pages of script, but they were 3 or 4 different projects -all of which are not complete works in themselves, at this point!
On other fronts, I've taken some surprising photos of wild birds down at the Spit this week! Phenomenal surprise to find such unusual large birds in our neck of the woods! I'm also working further on 'Renaissance Woman' which should be complete this month, and I can begin the re-writes! (Yet another book awaiting re-writes...) May is upon us, and the season brings colour and light and life. Perhaps the landscape series will continue this month, we'll have to wait and see! Enjoy the weather!

I've got too many projects on the go, that's my problem. I know, I know, you don't want to hear it, since you don't suffer from such a struggle. But we all have our struggles, and too many projects can be as daunting as too few. The brain gets befuddled with the decision of "Which one is most likely to be worth the time I"m going to need to spend on it, to prepare it for publication (or at least attempted publication)?"
Well, the "hot seat" belongs to the "Whatever Happened to Henry Hudson?" novel since it's got a bit of a deadline. I mean, when I wrote the thing, in all of about 6 days, I had no idea that 2011 was the 400th anniversary of Hudson's death, (well it hadn't struck me, that's all). The realisation of that made it more pressing than the others, since an important date like that just doesn't happen by chance now, does it? And so, I've been whipping myself to complete the re-writes, and it's out there, being considered now, half re-written, but percolating nicely. The others are all in lesser states of completion. I'll fill you in later! hil Well, they say that writers should have a blog. So I now have a blog. It's not difficult to set one up. I'm sure the keeping at it will be more painful. But perhaps, here on these pages, I will work out my writer's blocks, stew about the struggle, and create the new, so that writing will become more productive over time. I'll keep you posted!
