Short update

Re-writing has started on Bed & Breakfast (which desperately needs a new title).

I have a few ideas I'm working on till ScriptFrenzy. Feeling pretty ready to commence writing on a few of them, so that's good.

 

More updates are coming... soon.

Script Frenzy and other writings

As April gets closer, I'm preparing for a mad month of screenwriting. There's also some updates on my other writing.

Hey there! Long time no see.

Right. So, I've been a bad blogger lately. Since September, actually. That's bad. Really bad. But I'm getting back in the game with this update, and hopefully be more consistent in posting over the next few weeks (especially with ScriptFrenzy coming up again, and this time I am DETERMINED to finish).

Broken Promises
One of the last blogposts I had promised you a few things. Things that I didn't deliver. I would like to apologize for those broken promises, along with bringing forth a slate of new promises. The "Movies of H.P. Lovecraft"-posts will continue, but not before I watch something Lovecraftian. "The Unnamable"-movies were pretty fun, and "The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu" was the same. "Noroi: The Curse" was creepy, but a bit too silly. "Cool Air" was a fun little flick, made as a 1930's talkie. "The Haunted Palace" was pretty dull, and... well, yeah. That's basically it. 

The "chronology in minigames"-post will still be written, I just don't know when. The situation's pretty much the same with Clouds of Gray - I have a few story-ideas, but I'm still considering which I'll write first. 

Since last time
Quite a lot has happened since last time I checked in here - personal and writing-wise. First off, I finished my first feature-length screenplay! Yes, you read that right - the first draft of "Bed & Breakfast" is FINISHED!

I've already read through it, and written some notes, so I'll be starting the second draft soon, before going on to other things - namely the rest of "The Lucky Ones". I'm back to the drawing board on that one now, and I'm determined to finish it before the year is done.

Going Forward
There'll be more blogposts - I can guarantee that. Updates on my writing, my problems, television and movies I watch, ideas I have and stories - "The Lucky Ones", for example, will continue (and end) before 2013. And something new will begin. (Hopefully)

Coming up...

I have a lot of fun stories and blogpost coming up - the first one coming tomorrow. It's a short-story. I'm... not going to say more about it right now. But check back tomorrow!

On Friday, I return to my "The Movies of H.P. Lovecraft"-series. You'll learn my opinions on the recent slate of films, including "The Unnameable" and "The Last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu".

In the forthcoming weeks I'll look into the chronology of some stand-alone mini-games featuring the same main character. Hopefully, I'll be able to shine a light on the bigger picture (and story) that is only hinted at so far in the games. We'll see.

And, in not too long, there'll be a new Clouds of Grey-story. Probably. Hopefully.

So really, there's no reason not to stick around for the next few days and weeks. And please, comment. I treasure every one of them, good or bad. 

 

Be seeing you.

...aaaand we're back!

I assume you've all seen my short fake-trailer MARK SEES INVISIBLE MEN, being that it's been on my "Under Construction"-page for a while now. If not, here is [linkage].

Yes. This is the new look of my Blog. Like it? Love it? Watcha think of the Splash Page [Front Page]? I've been putting a lot of work into this, so I really hope you like it. That actually reminds me why I'm here; to give you a tour of the new site, not talk about how awesome I am.

So, when you arrive at the new front page, you have three images; A stack of scripts, me in a profile and an old television set. Pointing your mouse over these images, different things will reveal themselves. I'll let you figure that out yourself, although you probably know what it is by now.

The stack of scripts leads you to the FILES-section of this site, where you can find all kinds of scripts (comic, short-films, feature films, novels and so on). Clicking on me will take you to the IDEAS-blog - the center (or HQ if you'd like) of the site. Clicking on the old TV-set will bring you to the place where I write about books, TV-shows, movies and all the other stuff I feel like writing about.

That's it. There you have it. Please chime in and tell me what you think about the new look of this site. 

(EDIT: It has come to my attention that the Splash Page is still under construction. It's hard, much harder than what I originally thought it would be, but I'm getting there. In the meantime, the blog is now up and running again, with new posts coming your way very soon!)

the Watching Preacher, OUT! :)
