Novel vs Screenplay…ugh!

Ok, so my sister found a screenwriting contest for me to submit my Wastelands of Oz story to. The catch? I have to rewrite the novel as a screenplay. LIKE OMG do you have any idea how complicated this looks lol I don’t know where to put scene headings, action, or transition etc. I need a book for this. It seems so much more complicated than writing a novel but they claim its easier. Aye aye aye!…

LIKE OMG do you have any idea how complicated this looks lol I don’t know where to put scene headings, action, or transition etc. I need a book for this. It seems so much more complicated than writing a novel but they claim its easier. Aye aye aye! So I’m looking for the software and a book to do this.

Apologies for non posting

I recently moved and still getting settled into my new home. Apologies to those who follow my blog and eagerly await my posts. As of now, my agent is submitting my Wastelands of Oz novel to publishing companies and I received my first offer! Exciting, yes, but I will not be taking the offer as I feel the company doesn’t suit my perceived outlook on publishing.

Those of you who seek more writing information and what comes after writing, I will start posting work shops and helpful tips starting in the new year. It is one of my promises to help all Indie authors who self publish, and to help those seeking traditional publishing as I am.

Those of you who follow the Trinitarian aspect of my writing, we will be bumping up our posts via our blogs and our groups. We are crossing our fingers and hope to release the follow up book to Christian Wicca: The Trinitarian Tradition within a few months. I know we have promised it longer than we have said but we have put our blood, sweat and tears into this book and are making sure its perfect before it hits the internet.

Those of you who follow my poetry, I am still writing and hopefully my next book of poetry can be submitted to a traditional publisher. =]

Everyone keep writing and being your quirky selves. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Editing and Revising Chapter Two of the Wastelands of Oz

Editing and revising Chapter Two of the Wastelands of Oz. I can;t wait to finish my edits and revision so I can submit it to a publishing company =] Do yall know that the series had fourteen books? I don;t know if I’m going to write that many sequels lol but I am definitely writing two more and already have the ideas written down for them.

How come no one ever thought to do a spin off aside from the Great and Powerful Oz movie and the Wicked book? You never know what happens to Dorothy after she grows. This book doesn’t go into detail to much of Dorothy but it still surrounds her life through her daughter’s eyes. I remember watching the Wizard of Oz over and over at the age of three. Yes, I was that little and still remember watching it and keeping my gaze for so long on the movie that my yes burned when I blinked. I was captivated by the movie and so is my daughter

Take a Trip Back to Oz

Did you enjoy the first trip to the Land of Oz? How about the second? What about the 14th? Do you remember these trips so well you can hear the sound of Oz and can feel Oz’s colors dripping on your skin? Good. It’s about time for another trip to Oz. There’s a new sorceress causing pandemonium in the cities and lands of Oz. Who will stop it this time? Dorothy? It’s been years since she has been to Oz. She is an elderly woman now. Then who, you might ask? Who do you think? Who would have the trips, the memories, the friends, and the adventures like Dorothy? It’s a tough question yet the answer is so simple. Who? Why none other than her daughter, Maryjane, a powerful witch whose powers were granted to her from the Elders of Oz. She will risk losing everything to save her mom, the trio of friends, and Oz from the clutches of evil. Love, death, rebirth, and salvation are whirling around in the cyclones of Oz. Are you prepared for another walk down the yellow brick road?
