2009 - A Year Of Writing

It's January 1st and I'm trying something new. I'm not much for blogging but I'm a writer, and any kind of writing is supposed to be good exercise, right? I've decided that in 2009 I'm going to do something I've wanted to do most of my life. I'm going to write a novel. I missed NaNoWriMo but I'm going to work under the same principle and just work and work at it every day until it's done. There are so many great author, editor and agent blogs out there and I doubt this will be anywhere near as interesting but I'm going to do my best to keep this updated with my progress.

Who am I? I'm a writer/director with a whopping one short film under my belt (it did win some awards though), a couple more completed short scripts, a feature script, and a collaborative film project in the works in which I will write, direct and edit one segment this year. In addition to completing my first novel, my other writing goals are to finish a feature length and short film script this year, as well as shoot another short film and several music videos. I figure if you're going to dream, dream big right? Oh yeah, and I heart YA.

I will try to use this blog to track my progress on the novel and anything else interesting in my life. I hope I find some other writers like me who are working on novels as well. I look forward to early mornings with my laptop and coffee in my brand new I Heart Writing Mug!



Wish me luck!
