So I just read POKE THE BOX by Seth Godin, which has been released through his new partnership with Amazon, The Domino Project. Now, I must admit, before I launch into my rather verbose reaction to this book, I didn’t buy PTB when it was first published–even at it’s very accessible introductory price (.99). Why? […]
I have a crazy, bloody, dark & funny love story resting underneath my fingertips. I’ve been working on unleashing it for a couple of years now. Yes, a couple of years. I know that this story starts with a funeral, ends with a wedding and people die in-between – hopefully only the bad or irredeemable […]
LOCATION: home office, Vancouver, BC, Canada WEATHER: Rain – currently pouring – though seconds ago the sun attempted a break through. TODAY’S TO DO LIST: flesh out new idea for AFTER THE VIRUS prequel **Note: can it be called a prequel if the storylines eventually overlap? Will need to check into that, eventually, if the […]
…it’s just bullshit, Meghan. “The writing isn’t flowing, because I haven’t found my voice within the story,” I say to myself whenever I am restless and distracted, whenever I want to justify not writing. And it is bullshit. The worse kind of bullshit – my own – lying to myself, because: I AM MY VOICE. […]
I’ve been working on my comedy about love this afternoon, no it’s not a romantic comedy – because I said so. I’ve been playing around with a couple of opening scenes (set at a wake) including this one (set in the bathroom of a community centre). Trixie dramatically flings open her stall door and then […]
I am currently swathed in cashmere [vintage, it tried to snow in Vancouver last night – crazy!!], sipping chocolate mint tea [from my own garden] and researching “dark” poetry for a young adult novel I am working on called ‘TIL DEATH [working title]. I wrote a short film with the same premise last summer when […]
Spending the day combing through my works in progress, and, not only can’t I decide if this should be the short story that I intended to write or if it has the legs to be expanded into a young adult novel, but also, I can’t decide if this should be my next project either. I […]
Just found out that the first act of my feature script LOVE LIES BLEEDING will be read at the Cold Reading Series this Thursday, July 29th. Logline: Pamela just wants to reunite in the afterlife with her dead fiancé, Grady. Problem is, Grady was a secret agent, and his coded emails have infuriated both his […]
This is the sixth episode of my web series SiftingRealities. At the end of episode 4, Belinda seems to think she’s got this whole “sifting” thing under control, but does she? Oh, those are shortbread cookies she is making and eating in the final scene… I’ll post the recipe later on today.
In our fifth episode of SiftingRealities, Belinda attempts to exert some sort of control over the craziness she thinks her brain is projecting… if the pills won’t work perhaps she can find away to stop the other realities from bleeding into her own… “I’m not as judgemental as you always make me seem.” Ah, Marie […]
