The script I’d been working on for the last 5 months and the application package went out on my birthday, 3 days before the deadline. I couldn’t remember if I’d mentioned that. The package has been delivered.
Now, despite my attempts to forget about it, I wonder constantly if there were typos I missed or if the characters were strong enough or if I will manage to stand out from 7,000 entries for one of the four slots.
I applied to the Disney Feature Writing Fellowship which will tentatively begin in February 2009. It’s a one year fellowship that will require me to move to LA for that time and be involved in a full program of workshops, classes, mentoring and networking. And by require it of me, what I really mean to say is that I would happily LOVE to do all that!
I worked my ass off to get that script in the mail and I would be thrilled – ecstatic –blessed-out –crazy happy to get in!
I will also be applying for another Fellowship and now that I have a completed script I will likely try to sell it. All in all the writing is still happening. I’m taking the month of August away from the internal mind-bend of characters and plot as a mini-vacation, but as suspected I am going through a small disorientation from the completion of a project that I put so much work in.
It’s always hard for me to finish a project and release it. It results in a mock empty-nest syndrome, a small depression and a loss of words for a time. All will be well soon, because the package is in the mail – it is now out of my hands.
