Resoultions... and I'm not talking 1080p

Well, January seems to have FLOWN by and it seems like the appropriate time to reflect on resolutions made for 2011.

Quitting smoking and losing weight are always popular resolutions, but what about ones specific to you- the screenwriter? I've got a few ideas:
  • Network with other writers/producers/industry professionals
  • Get advice from an industry pro (with a track record)
  • Get (and READ) a good book on screenwriting
  • Learn something new (Like how to write for video games), get out of your comfort zone
Adding just one of these resolutions to your list (and being able to cross it off) could yield great results for your writing and your carer.

Attending the Toronto Screenwriting Conference 2011 would give you the opportunity to achieve all of the resolutions I've mentioned, you owe it to yourself to be there!

With all the resolutions you could cross off by April, you've freed up 8 months for the rest of your resolutions like:
  • Not beginning sentences with "So today on Twitter I..."
  • Eating yogurt even if it is a few days past the expiry date (you do know what yogurt is right?)
  • Avoiding the use of air quotes because your co-workers/family members find them "annoying"
  • Insisting on the correct pronunciation of non- English places and words (e.g. "I think you meant Bar-th-elona")
Or you could continue working on that screenplay...

That's all for now, see you in February!
