The first text I received when I woke up this morning (I turn my phone off at night, if I don't need my alarm for anything, so I can rest as long as I need without interruption) was from Brian Kenner.
He wrote,
"Wake your ass up and do something productive today!"

I plan to do just that.


After running my miles (I run 3 miles a day on my elliptical), I am going to write a concise query letter (detailing my work and meager accolades and accomplishments in the screenwriting trade) then send it off to the agents listed in the Writer's Guild of America, West (Los Angeles) website.

They list all their agents in a directory, located here and encourage writers to query them.

After that I'll write the one-page synopsis for my Pillow Queen script, send that off to Circle of Confusion (who have requested two of my scripts in the past... they ultimately passed on them... but that's of no consequence).

Then I will begin the short horror story I mentioned in my previous post.

However, I have this planned tentatively (I plan on interweaving all of this activity in with general relaxation... meaning: reading graphic novels and watching horror films... I am on summer break, after all). So some of this productive behavior may take place tomorrow before my monthly Chuck Berry concert.
