I am going to go look up the The ScreenWriters New Year

At this time of year I always swear that I'll finish my script by this time next year.

Go ahead and laugh I laugh too.

It's a routine now. I like doing it. I have to do it. Even if it's complete bullshit. I'll light my own light at the end of the tunnel.

Here we go.......... This time next year, I'll be shopping around a script that I am very proud of.

I guess that means I do intend to care ......one day.....at some point...... hmmmmmm maybe I do already.

Happy New Year to all you Screenplay Writers!

Do you know that our New Years celebration starts today and ends February 25th. That's a lot of champagne and take out.

Oh is that weird I drink champagne ( it's not always really champagne ) and watch the oscars? I make a toast to the winner of best screenplay. I hope it's to you one day. Then I can say..... Hey! I read her blog! The Show Must Go On and her blog Planet Pooks and her blog Celluloid blonde LOL Now that's excitemet and worth wishing for!

I know we don't write to win anything but from now until the big annoucements. People know we are out here. Hoping we do something that will be really entertaining. Maybe create a great role for someone. Introduce us to a part of ourselves.......

I know you are out there. Working hard. Torturing yourself. And yes, of course I truly believe it's all for my viewing pleasure. The audience of one. All good movies give you that feeling.

Here is the other good thing about a long New Years Celebration.

I haven't seen one.....not one of these movies......
