I think; therefore, I have angst. Be one with my musings and highs and lows as I go through this journey called life and this wish called BESTSELLERDOM.
Hey All,
Happy Memorial Day weekend! It's about 3:30 in the afternoon, and I am EXHAUSTED. I stayed up until about 9 this morning. Just woke up about thirty minutes ago. I got into a nice writing jag and couldn't stop. WHEN I FINALLY DID STOP, my friend and publicist, Tonya and I were surfing the net and we came across an AWESOME site: http://www.melswebs.com. Check it out AFTER YOU'RE FINISHED HERE! (lol) The webmistress allows writers to post up poetry and short stories, and so I was excited to write a little erotic ditty to post up. Spent about an hour doing that. THEN, I cracked open my OLD and DUSTY poetry folder...stuff I wrote when I was in love, dumped and in between. I posted two pretty cool poems up on Melswebs, and then I spent the rest of the night getting down and nostalgic about past relationships and experiences with Tonya and showing her the equally bad poetry.
So, there was a HIGH...the writing. Then there was a low...the nostalgia. Then wouldn't you know it, there was another HIGH. Rollercoaster City here. Was surfing a website and found out that MTV is going to be premiering a new network next year. An all gay/lesbian network titled LOGO. Then I found two other networks/channels that are currently 'live' either by satellite or dish tv or pay-per-view. Tonya and I were excited...Tonya more so. As my publicist and best friend, she's in charge of getting soooooooo excited that I don't HAVE to be excited! (lol) GOOD JOB, TONYA. GOOD LOOKING OUT! (lol)
I promptly e-mailed all three, asking how to submit proposals.
I had been contemplating writing a screenplay or a series for RUNNING FROM MISS RIGHT ever since I wrote the book. I really do love the story and the characters, especially Jack. She's my girl!
I have a sequel already outlined, and I'm sure there is a lot more that could be done with all the characters.
It could be...dare I say it...the NEW "Friends," with ...*gasp* black main characters, a multicultural cast, and a sexual twist! ROFL And don't get me wrong, I ADOOOOOOOOOORE "Friends". I'm heartbroken and lonely now that the show is off the air. Maybe there's room for something like this there, EH? Hell, we could do a back-to-back gay night with RFMR and Will and Grace, and top it off with ER that has a lesbian doctor on the show.
A girl can dream, can't she? LOL
Anyway, with my day basically GONE, I have to figure out what I'm going to do to salvage the rest of it. I plan to finish episode #3 of "Femme2Femme". I plan to tweak the short story I wrote last night. I plan to write up the CONTEST that will start on RUNNING FROM MISS RIGHT, starting tomorrow. I plan to cook dinner (baked chicken, rice with cream of mushrooms and green beans). My online English class begins on Wednesday, and I need to insure that my students are IN IT and aren't terrified out of their minds. This one will be a task. (sigh) But I'm USUALLY good at completing tasks.
Wish me luck!
More later.
