Screenwriting : Long time no post... by James Welday

How's it going, James Welday?! Great to see you posting again. An animated Fantasy script sounds cool. I have two new writing jobs, I'm rewriting a short script with a writer/director, and I'm pitching projects.

James: Thanks for posting your recent activities. What is your story about? Comedy animation? Hero's journey?

I'm starting a new screenplay next week for a novel adaptation of a novel written by a UK writer. It's a thriller set in Thailand.

Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal" that's great, and best of luck on the new adaptation!

Here is the rough logline for mine: "Magician & Son"

Santiago is a non-believing son and assistant to Manuel the Magnificent, a once-famous Barcelonaian stage magician. When his father mysteriously disappears within his own illusion, it's up to a hesitant Santiago to enter the one dreaded place he may have gone -- the mythic, chaotic landscape of the Magician's World."

Maurice Vaughan thank you, sir! It's good to be back! I'm excited to see how your writing jobs go. Hoping against hope to land some work soon.

Congrats on the adaptation, Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal"! A Thriller set in Thailand sounds... thrilling. :)

You're welcome, James Welday. Most of my past and present jobs and projects come through Stage 32. I mainly get them by networking/building relationships and maintaining relationships.

Maurice Vaughan regarding networking and building/maintaining relationships, that is absolutely true! A continued best of luck to you.

James, thanks for sharing your logline.

I appreciate it, James Welday. Much success to you. Hope you get great feedback on your script and sell it.

Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal" you're welcome.

James Welday Hi James, my creative energies are focused on two things right now. The Pitch Deck for my apocalyptic conspiracy thriller and on world-building for a mythological epic story.

I have been polishing some of my older screenplays that I think are worth polishing and working on a screenplay for hire.

Welcome back, James! I'm working through my next spec script. I'm also meeting with directors concerning my last script and working with an agency (who I met through Stage 32) about possible financing. All in all, pretty exciting!

Could be busy as hell or counting stars in just one "yes or no" email back...welcome to the screenwriters life...

I recently jumped into songwriting. It's currently being produced in the studio. I'm so excited!

Teleah Moore. Congrats. That is pretty cool. A friend of mine started a band that had some hit records. One of his songs has in Pulp Fiction and Tarantino helped him produce his first movie Narc. I helped cowrite the sequel but it didn’t get made. Anyway, good luck with your songwriting.

Hiya @james - bloody Android version doesn't seem to do mentions - anyway, I'm busy rebuilding my stage 32 account and presence after a major relocation and tragic system upgrade disaster. There seem to be improvements afoot around here. Maybe I'll stick around this time. Hope you do to. BTW it's the former Meg Stone. Aye, going by Morgan now. Animated fantasy script? Brill! I'd love to lay eyeballs on it.

Dan Guardino Thank you!

Hope things get better, Morgan Aitken ("tragic system upgrade disaster"). See you around Stage 32. :)

Teleah - all I produce now are promo music videos to help new musicians & songwriters promote their work out here in the West. I have an old time Rock & Roll band (tough to work with), I have a Country guitar player & singer (one cd released) and I have a really strong harmonica player (one cd released). I'm starting to work with a Country Western band, a Bluegrass band and a female singer. What 'cha got?

@morgan so sorry to hear about your tech issues, hopefully they’re resolved now. I’d be happy to send the script (rough as it is) your way. Let me know!

You guys are awesome, and inspiring, each and every one of you. Keep up the amazing work, and Happy Sunday!

Does "tragic system upgrade disaster" mean tech issues, Morgan Aitken. I thought it meant something else. I saw "tragic" and "disaster" and thought something tragic happened to you. Facepalm One of those days. Haha

Maurice Vaughan this is tragic!!! Unpalm that face, immediately! Do you have any idea how much work it's going to be to reimplement rebuild my Stage 32 profile... and don't forget my esteemed and charming reputation. BTW, you were in my network... you'll see my new request waiting for you to approve. Cheers, mate!

Teleah Moore congratulations, and best of luck! Keep us posted.

James Welday, it's so doggone nice to hear from you again! Wishing you all the VERY BEST!

Thank you, Jim!! Much appreciated. If you need anything, let me know.

It sounds like a lot of work, Morgan Aitken, but I'm sure you'll get it done. :) BTW, I accepted your request.

Stephanie Madison absolutely, thanks! I'm excited to jump back into networking, while polishing the animated feature and the new WIP.
