What's New?

Well, it's Friday--and I like that--but that's NOT so new to know.

What is new is, a local author, who is also a NY Best Selling author, who I asked to be part of a writers' conference cannot attend. Bummed, I am. Somehow, after she told me couldn't be a speaker, I wound up telling her about my middle age love story. A story I've wanted to write since I was in my 20's --when I didn't know about middle age anything--the NY Best Selling Author said my story "has great frame"-and asked if I'd considered turning the story into a screenplay instead of a novel? See, I told her I've always pictured Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover with a happy together ending, ever since "The Color Purple."

Never having written a screenplay, even tho, I once scripted a one act play, I certainly no problem getting "Screenwriting for Dummies". Nice encouragement, especially from someone I truly admire.

So stay tuned.

Now back to Friday. The kitties posted here await a chin rub and Friskies Party Mix treats. Alas, I'll leave you with classic Tom Jone asking a pussy cat, What's New?

Check In

I sipped all my 74 ounces of water today. Forgot my lunch this morning, so I splurged on a grilled chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bun. Tasty.

As I sat at work today, I thought of the story I should finish. I am quite pleased by it. Then I may delve--finally--delve in to the middle age love story, that's been on my mind since I was in my 20's. I realized how being middle aged NOW gives me a better insight to the story. My story has always stared Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover. No "The Color Purple" here--yet a love story with a happy ending--plus nobody dies. :)

In the meantime, it's back to pet the cat while I inspect Mark Dacascos of Iron Chef and soon of Dancing With the Stars. Ya know, I've always been a Donny Osmond fan, yet there's something about Mark. I look forward to seeing him do something more than point at food.

Did you drink your water today?
