Write?

Last night we had a writers' meeting so I took my ScriptFrenzy project (well, 5 pages of it - it's now over 70 pages!) for some critiquing.

It was a lot of fun. I like people reading my stuff (but not out loud) and I like peoples' suggestions and criticisms...I feel like it helps me zero in on problem spots and encourages me to do better with every draft.

So last night we got to talking about how the screenplay I'm writing would be really good (maybe not necessarily better) as a YA novel.

I'm intrigued. I've gone back and forth between whether this was a T.V. show or a book for years now.

Maybe I'll give it a shot and write the first book this summer when I need a break from Violet's Monster.

I'm going to be sitting in the office all summer anyway.

It was nice to hear that people like what I write, and I think some of my ideas definitely have publishing potential.

Knowing someone who has a writing contract with a publisher does help a lot.

Maybe someday I'll be in their shoes!

If I don't audition for and win Project Runway. :P
