I'm pretty happy to get the news that my Civil War romance screenplay JACOB'S OCEAN took 1st place in the Oregon Film Awards screenwriting competition, and my period Native American screenplay YOU ARE CHEYENNE was a finalist. Nice email to get on a brisk cold evening in Ireland.

Wow, Jan! Wow! Two winners. Talk about rolling doubles. That's incredible. How long did it take to pen JACOB'S OCEAN and YOU ARE CHEYENNE?

Thanks Shawn. About 4-6 months on each one, including research. I'm big on research for these period movies.

Fantastic! I recently visited the small town of Bend, Oregon. A fantastic artist and medical community. The Pacific Northwest is so beautiful. Good luck!

Congrats! Those are awesome e-mails to get! "Keep Writing" is what I hear them saying to you.
Thanks all. It's a nice affirmation, and God knows we writers need that. We all know how difficult it is out there.
Thanks Guy, I sure hope so! For me, it's all about character and emotion, pure and simple.
