Quarterfinal in Scriptapalooza!
My romantic comedy, Between the Lines, has just made the quarterfinals of Scriptapalooza, one of the country's biggest screenwriting contests. Out of more than 3600 entries, 334 were picked as quarterfinalists.Think I'm making this up? Go to the Scriptapalooza site, click on "9th Annual International Screenwriting Competition, and then click on Quarterfinalists. Sorry there isn't a direct link.
In the past, production companies and agents have requested looks at winners, finalists, semi-finalists, and even quarterfinalists of this contest. But the coolest part to me is that now more than one contest has given me strong positive feedback on this script. So it's not just that one guy at Bluecat Screenwriting Competition who thinks it's cool (though not cool enough for the 10K first prize).
Semifinalists will be announced tomorrow, probably around 11:59 PM Pacific time, the way these things go. Obviously I'll let you know about that, as well as a recap of the RWA conference, which was, in a word, awesome.

However I did polka at the Festhaus in Busch Gardens, so that should count for something, right?

But hey, it was in the top less than 10%, so that means it didn't suck. I'm encouraged to enter more contests, which means I'm still an aspiring screenwriter, which means I can still deduct my Netflix subscription from my taxes.
