After two years of almost constant work on my script, and various readings and conference calls with cousin Mike, and rewrites and edits and email exchanges – not to mention making my friends read the script outloud with me at various stages (Thank you, Mitchell, Thank you, Jen, Thank you, David) it’s finally come to the point where we’re doing a week of workshopping it in Los Angeles, with two awesome actors, a director, and a public reading after the week of rehearsal. The script is really ready to be put on its feet, and let it sink or swim. I have been working so hard. I have rewritten the whole thing probably 5 full times at this point, and I am ready to do more if necessary. Cousin Mike has been my cheerleader, editor, heckler, and champion. (After all, he’s the one that really started the whole thing, as a way to get me working again in the first wave of my grief. You can see his supportive comment to that post.) Through sheer force of will, in the middle of one of the busiest times of his life, he helped me push to get this to happen. So anyway, I’m off. Lots of family and friends in Los Angeles, and I love it there, so I’m looking forward to it. Butterflies in stomach too. This is a big big moment for me.
Happy and excited for you.
Now go blow everyone’s socks off!
Lots of luck, Sheila! Sounds like a very exciting, if nerve-wracking, time!
That is so exciting. Congratulations and have fun!
Have a great time, this is very exciting! All in all it will be an unforgetable experience.
Wait, selling a screenplay is hard?!?!
Good luck Sheila, I’m sure you’ll do great. Any chance you’ll share the logline?
Someone who actually knows how to write, and has read a few books, in Los Angeles?
Anyways, best wishes!
See ya later!
Congratulations and good luck to you! That’s thrilling (I would use exciting but everyone else has been saying it).
Just wanted to echo others’ comments–this is very exciting, and I hope you enjoy every single second.
So this is what you have been up to for the last two years. Good for you. How ironic that I checked your blog today! I’ll have a toast in your honor this evening. Best of luck to you my lifelong friend. Hello to Brendan and other family in L.A.
Wonderful! May you have a great success with your project!
Very exciting after all of the time and effort. I hope you have a wonderful week.
If your script is anything like your blog, they will say yes.
Good Luck, Sheila. I’m rootin’ for ya. ;)
Go get ’em!
Go get ’em, tigress!
Good luck, Sheila! May the light of success shine upon you, and your script!
I’m so excited and twittery for you, hon! My heart is doing double time for you. It’s your time and I think you — and it — are ready. Cannot WAIT to hear more.
Thanks, all – it’s an exciting time!
