a new opportunity!

Thanks to trying at NaNoWriMo last year, I was told about a new contest (like NaNoWriMo) for April called ScriptFrenzy! I've been thinking of wanting to write a screenplay and look at what opportunity fell into my lap! So, I signed up!

When I was a teenager I stole a book off my mom's shelf of books and I read it and loved it, and kept it and reread it. Then the night before my wedding we visited a used book store and I found book number THREE?! I was so excited that there were more books! So, I researched and started collecting. Turns out there were 3 trilogies! Nine books for me to find and collect and read and love.
Sometimes I just think about the books and the story plays out in my mind like a movie... so why not write a screenplay for it!

First, maybe I'll write a fan letter to that author and tell her the story about her books and me. And then maybe I'll ask if I could try my hand at screenplay writing with her books.

The books are the Kings Blood Four series (3 sets of 3 books) by Sherri S. Tepper.

Yay!
(another thing to add to my list of really want to do...which is getting really really long.)

I found a crochet book at the library where I could make some amigurumi little zombies, ninjas, robots and even a Roman centurian and more! I think I might be crocheting more than writing this week.
