I just got in the mail a book by Steve Yank’s stepdaughter Heather Gengaro called Runaway Mate!!! She goes by the pen name Gen17. I will write a review on my blog and Amazon.com (where you can buy it)!!! She has a deal with the app Dreame for some of her other writings so I hope this is good!
Check it out for yourself when you get a chance

Not sure what this says about my script, The Choice, but I was happy to receive Quarterfinal standing in the Page Turner Screenplays 100!
Perhaps it will do better in the future!!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
My buddy, Spock, wrote a poem about his waiting in lines at the stores during the holidays. His writing partner in Philadelphia liked it so much that he and Spock have decided to turn it into a Christmas 🎅 script (minus the gun lol)!!! Here’s the text that he sent the crew. FYI I’m the Captain that he’s referring to!
Peace ☮️ and happy holidays

Already shared with the Captain. Figured share with the rest of the crew. Happy and Merry everyone!
It was the day before Christmas at the grocery store.
The parking lot was packed you could fit no more.
Every space was taken they parked on the street. Like Harry Katz at a wedding so a tip he could beat.
Inside the store it was quite the sight. Everywhere were customers looking for a fight.
Holiday groceries sold out not in sight.
Everyone was mad ready to fight.
Along came a jolly man so fat with a beard.
Through the crowd he jostled to the cookie aisle he neared.
He reached for the Oreos to dunk in his drink.
Someone drew a gun on him said "Don't even think".
He put them down and headed for the door.
"You all have gone crazy, I'll shop here no more".
As he walked down the block to his car out of sight.
He muttered,"These people are crazy, I'll get drunk tonight."
As the holiday season pushes forward, I have a little bit more time to work on old projects. The one that stood out; that never materialized was The Lepidopteran. I created so much for the series yet when I recently read the first script it was lacking. My writing style has improved so I have been spending time rewriting the script which was difficult because the only pdf that I had was a photocopy BUT thankfully Final Draft has a new feature that allows you to put old pdf copies into the latest version of the software. Mind you that this is a photocopy so I have been copy and pasting the script where I didn’t rewrite it completely!!! So my December is set! Rewrite The Lepidopteran and I have already planned to do a reading of it at the end of January or tentatively the beginning of February.
Keep busy and never settle!!!

ps Send me your Good vibes 😎 on this one because it really has potential. Peace ✌️
Just got a certificate from The MDIFF for the award 🥇 that The Choice won in their competition! Check it out below...
Peace ☮️
As some of you know, November is a month of meetings for me. Just last Friday, I had 4 zoom meetings with 3 agents and 1 manager where we got to pick their brains and listen to their wisdom (as winners of The Big Apple Film Festival (see older posts)).
Several of the speakers left their contact info, so naturally, I followed up with email/queries. Although, it has only been 1 day or so, I got a response from one of the hottest agents in the country who spoke in one of the meetings... HALLE MARINER!!! She responded which was quite exciting and although her schedule is heavy for the remainder of the year, she said that at the beginning of next year she would check out my work!!!
Hopefully, she will enjoy my work and want to continue to remain in contact... I think she would be a cool agent for several of my projects/scripts!!!
Keep your fingers crossed and send me some Good Energy!!!

p.s. As usual with this blog, I cannot take comments so look at my older posts to find out how to contact me. PEACE!!!
Human Game 3: The Revelation got the Top 1 Badge for the month of November on Coverfly!!!! God’s blessings keep coming!!!
So I took a few pictures of the ranking and win from Coverfly about The Big Apple Film Festival Competition!!!
Check it out below... this the best I could do with my iPhone... old iPhone 📱 lol
The GOOD news keeps coming Thank GOD!!! I checked Coverfly to see about the rankings for The Choice and noticed that it was up from 17% to 12% out of 90,000 plus scripts on the site! I then checked its status in the Big Apple Film Festival and BEHOLD it said WINNER instead of finalist like it said before !!!! This is one of the biggest wins that I have received so my fingers are crossed that the zoom meetings that are mentioned in the previous post go well seeing that they are the results of the BAFF!!!
Pray, put your mojo on it, and/or send GOOD vibes 😎 that these meetings go well!!!
Love you much!!!
