I just realized it’s been two months since my last blog post. Whoopsie! I’ve had my ups and downs, some exciting firsts, and competition/fellowship results, both good and bad. In addition to currently sitting in Italy as I write this, a recent highlight is that both Curio and No Rest for the Wicked were namedContinue reading “Lots Happening in the Past Couple of Months…”

Oh Snap! I’m a DOUBLE Quarterfinalist in the 2022 Screencraft TV Pilot Competition
I’m thrilled to announce that I got word last night that BOTH Curio and Riftmaker advanced in the competition.

Curio is a Quarterfinalist!
This is the first time this script has competed, and I’m thrilled to announce it has advanced to the quarterfinals of the WeScreenplay TV competition!

One Year Down: What I’ve Accomplished So Far as an Aspiring Screenwriter
I don’t think anyone would be surprised to hear that spring 2020 was not a great time for me because it wasn’t a great time for pretty much anyone.

I wasn’t writing anything, just editing and continuing withContinue reading “One Year Down: What I’ve Accomplished So Far as an Aspiring Screenwriter”
Help us Bring the Characters of HOOD to Life!
Being in this crazy screenwriting game is all about connections, and I was fortunate to find an amazing multimedia project through people I’ve met through social media. I am already learning so much about the non-writing side of creating a show! The entire HOOD project includes a book, podcasts, and eventually a TV show. RightContinue reading “Help us Bring the Characters of HOOD to Life!”
My Screenwriting Bootcamp: MasterClass Part 2
Over on my author website, I did a post about the first six MasterClass courses I did to help me learn about writing in general and screenwriting in particular. I’ve got several more under my belt since then, so I figured it was time for another post.

LitCon 2021 – Adapting Your Novel for TV and Film Panel Discussion
During the first weekend of March, I was the host for two panels about screenwriting for LitCon 2021. The first was a Q&A session, and for the afternoon we focused specifically on the process of adapting a novel or short story for the screen. A big thank you to Joe Compton, L. Marie Wood, andContinue reading “LitCon 2021 – Adapting Your Novel for TV and Film Panel Discussion”

With all the other stuff going on and interviews to post, I totally forgot to post about my progress in the pilot competition. On Dec 9, I found out that I was one of just 50 finalists overall in the competition, which started with about 4800 entries. Woohoo!!! So now…
Creating My Own Screenwriting Boot Camp: MasterClass Courses
Originally posted on Phoebe Darqueling:
There are a few online degrees and intensive workshops for aspiring screenwriters out there. But, frankly, I’ve been a self-directed and motivated student of storytelling already for six years. It just doesn’t seem like it is worth the cost wade through the basics again. However, there is certainly more to…
