Screenwriting Under a Deadline

Hollywood maybe glamorous but it sure as heck ain't easy. I am currently writing a screenplay which I hope to complete by the end of this month. Writing for a feature film is challenging. There are so many factors to consider in order to make the perfect screenplay. You have to have the corrects beats, make sure certain events happen on certain pages, and many other specific details. I will say though that Blake Snyder's Save the Cat has been a life-saver. Strange name but an amazing book. It has really helped me to create a better screenplay. Hopefully, I'll be able to accomplish my goal by the end of the month.
Another goal I had for this new year is cooking. I've always been a terrible cook. When I was younger, I set an oven mitt on fire in an oven. Yeah, I was that person.  My mother, on the other hand, is a cooking genius. Her food is amazing and she makes it look easy. I always joke that she has to put fairy dust in her food for it to be that good.
This week I cooked Parmesan Chicken and Turkey Tacos. Both are unique takes on typical recipes. They are delicious and amazing to eat. And, as a bonus, I didn't catch anything on fire.
Hopefully by the next blog, I'll have my camera working. That way there will be pretty pictures along with the blog.
