So, as none of you are probably aware, I'm an aspiring screenwriter. That's right, Singlesaints.com is just my side gig while I try to make the real living writing uplifting movies.

Well, I recently optioned my first screenplay. Granted, it was only for $1 for one year, but that's perfect for framing, I say. And the guy producing it -- or rather, trying to produce it -- seems to have some great connections already for this particular project.

The nice thing about the 1-year deadline is that I don't need to wait 10 years to see if it'll get produced. One year, then it's mine again to shop around as I see fit. Woo hoo!

How did it happen, you ask? I wish I knew. It's all in who you know, as they say. In any case, I'm not getting too stoked yet, since the odds are still against it ever being made, but I they're certainly better now with a producer on board than when it was just me and my words.

I'm also currently working on my second novelization -- I wrote the novelization of The RM and now am struggling through The Home Teachers -- so I'm already a paid novelist. Go me!
