All aboard?

Well, kids, a few bits and pieces to tell you about… With encourage and feedback from two award-winning screenwriters, Brian Weakland and Terry Gau, I wrote the TV Pilot for A Spider Sat Beside Her as a part of a limited series (THE MELT). Script in hand, I was then invited to join a screenwriters’ group of over 30 years, which has spawned talents such as Vince Gilligan of BREAKING BAD and BETTER CALL SAUL. Needless to say, I’m delighted to be a part of the Virginia Screenwriter’s Forum.

With a leap of faith, I entered the pilot screenplay into a slew of screenwriting contests. A few days ago, I was notified that the script for A Spider Sat Beside Her had won the Best TV Pilot Screenplay Award for Drama from the New York Screenwriting Awards … Wow! Cross fingers that I’m on track with this puppy, and a few more contests fall my way!

Now to get back to my current novel in progress…
