... 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...
Yikes... 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...
