... Well, I just submitted my second collection of screenplays for registry with the Library of Congress.
In a few days (well, weeks, knowing our government) it should be copyrighted and protected.
This collection includes my adaptation of my own novel Humansville, Momo (my enigmatic psychodrama/fantasy script that I am extremely proud of) and Pillow Queen.

Oddly enough it's been almost exactly (give or take a week) three years (to the date!) since my last copyright registry with the Library of Congress.
In June of 2010 I submitted my novel The Murderers.

And, seriously, registering works online with the Library of Congress is more efficient and green (paperless) and convenient... but it is the most frustrating, headache-inducing bullshit you can imagine... nothing on that site is user-friendly... everything is riddled with mis-direction & horseshit... at one point I started pounding one of my fists into my other open palm, then I clawed my hands in the air and issues the longest death metal growl I've exhaled since college...

Fuckmerunning... and then I have to do that shit all over again in a few weeks when my buddy Tim is done editing my sixth novel Urban Prairie and I submit that to be copyrighted.

Ah well.

That's enough work for today... save for, perhaps, writing a query letter for Pillow Queen and sifting through a few script agent's websites to see who is open to submissions and how I should submit... other than that it's a day of comics, horror movies, relaxing, pizza and SNL...
