Filming Opportunity - Application Sent!

Submissions were accepted from yesterday. I was too nervous to even start the application process, but today I bit the bullet and put forward and idea I'd like to see be made into a short film.

You've got to take chances like this, that make you uncomfortable and nervous, because you never know. Even if I don't get it, I tried! I put myself out there! I can do this independently if I feel strongly enough about this!

As always, I will follow this up when I know - but entries close at the beginning of February, so in the meantime, lots more ideas are to be written up, storyboards need to be completed and notes need to turn into shorts and put into the prettier notebooks I have!

Keep your eyes peeled, wish me luck!

The Joys Of 3am Writing

I've forgotten how to sleep apparently...

Luckily, my brain sees this as the most perfect opportunity to give me absolutely cracking ideas.

So, this morning around 3am, I wrote a short, in my phone, in notes, nothing fancy. Now, normally the notes I leave for myself during the night are utter nonsense, usually consisting of phrases I'd coined which no longer make sense to anyone in the world.

Today was different, this story had a message, it was strong. It was a lovely surprise. So when it was an acceptable time to leave my bed, I drew up a storyboard (poorly because not everyone is lucky enough to be able to draw nice things), and I am happy with it!

I said I would film something this year, and it's definitely something I can manage despite having no money to throw at it!
I hope you enjoy the glorious storyboard I put together!

Filming Opportunity!

I recently came across an opportunity on Twitter for the chance to have £10k (WOW!) towards making a short film. All my ideas flooded my brain at once at the thought of my work coming to life! How exciting! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while but due to lack of funds, it's always been a dream.

I am hoping to look through all my notes, notebooks and storyboards to see what I can do.
This week I'll be writing up more short story ideas, to ensure the best work will be put forward - and if I don't manage to get the opportunity, I'll have spent my time working hard, putting effort into work I'll hopefully one day have produced into other media, and enjoying writing different things!

I can always make an attempt to film independently if I feel strong enough that the work needs to be filmed - so it's not the end of the world if my application is not successful.
I'm filling in an application in the next few weeks and I'll keep you posted on how I get on!
Wish me luck!

Green, Green Grass Of Alone - Ten Word Story

Not too long ago, whilst being super busy on Submittable, I found Dime Show Review.
They were looking for ten word stories, so I gave it a go. It sounds easy enough, until you're a word under, then you get frustrated as you don't just want to throw any old word in to bulk the numbers, I got there in the end.

I submitted my ten word story for Dime Show Review and I was lucky enough to have it accepted!

I really enjoyed entering this piece of creative writing, they typed it lovingly with a trypewriter for me to make it look pretty.
