It's day two of my blog a day.
I can hardley believe that next week is exam week! I feel like it's still the beggining of the semester, but it's not.
I'm still working for the loons, and at my church's nursery, but and looking for a third job that I can also work to save up for college. College is so darn expensive these days that it almost takes three summer/seasonal jobs to pay for it.
I'm at the library writing this, and there is this homeless guy who hangs out here every day (at least that's what it seems like). It's kinda creepy because he's sitting just behind me, and has been for nearly an hour. On to more interusting things
Or maybe not more interusting things. The weather is continuosly warming up here. I am so excited for warm weather that it isn't even funny!
Yesterday I said that I had written one new scene on Sunday morning. Last night after my Day 1 blog, I typed it into the word document that I have saved for this screenplay. I kept it almost exactly as I wrote the scene originally, but did make a couple of minor changes to it. Most of the changes I made from hand-written to typed were additions, but there were parts from the original that I took out.
I can already tell you that with the screenplay I'm working on now, I have written the part that I had the most planned out. The parts I have written not only were the parts I knew lots of details about, but they also were some of my favorite parts. I've got probobly three more scenes to write that I have somewhat planned before I go and fill in the missing peices (aka about three quarters of the screenplay).
I forgot to mention in my last blog that my brother dislocated his shoulder just a couple days ago. He has been in some pain, but is slowley recovering from it.
There are definatly some unique characters around here today. A while ago there were a couple of people that gave me an idea for something in the screenplay I'm currently working on. They weren't too interusting, but they did distinctly remind me of the main character in this screenplay.
Homeless guy just left the area (FINALLY!). He was starting to creep me out a little.
I just had the chance to look back at everything I've written in this blog, and realized that I didn't have writers/bloggers block today like I thought I might.
Time for me to go back to work on my screenplay to figure out a little more of Coreen's life after and before Jennifer.
I should be back to write day three tomarrow, and hopefully will have something interusting to write about then too.

Day 1
Today is day 1.
Where do I want to start? What do I want to write about? I'm sitting in my parent's living room on the couch writing this. There's a large window behind the couch looking out into the front yard. There are two end tables...one on eaither side of the couch, and a coffee table in fron of the couch. On the other side of the end tables are pink chairs. Across the room from me is the piano. I guess the piano was one of my Mom's grandmother's pianos way back when.
Yesterday morning I wrote a new scene for the screenplay I am working on now (which is my second one). The scene works quite well considering I didn't have the scene that occurs directly before it, and that the scene I wrote yesterday ties in closley with the scene that is directly before it. Was that confusing? I hope not.
By the way...
In a previous post I came out to all bloggers/anyone who reads this blog. THis is somewhat evident in the screenplay I am working on now. Two characters are bi (who are strongly based off of myself), and the rest...are tolerant of being gay or bi.
That's all for today. I'll be back tomarrow!

Introduction
I'm going to try to write a blog every day. Even if it's only a sentence or two. The thing that I'm hoping is that after this week and next week I will have more time to blog since I will be done with my semester. Most of all I don't want to just blog about real life. I want to blog about the screenplay I started writing three weeks ago and the progress I make on it.
So here I go. I never know what to expect when I start writing. I discovered this when I wrote my first screenplay.

A blog of many things.
Since opening night for the Loons (a local minor leauge baseball team), I have been SO busy. Between classes, exams coming up, studying, homework, traveling too and from school, traveling too and from work, and working both in my church's nursery and for the Loons (food service), I feel like I have had no time to do any kind of blogging!
The past week:
I am sitting at the library right now. From March 30 through April 4 my parents and brother were in Florida on their spring break. I got left at home due to the fact that I had school and I had to work several baseball games. I was so happy to have some quiet time to myself at home. I didn't have a brother to come and bug me every half and hour, and I didnt have two parents that were constantly bugging me about something.
As for youtube, I posted quite a few videos this week. To find all of the videos I have posted visit:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ppmusic2006
and
http://www.youtube.com/user/ppmusic06
They might be random, but thats okay! I am a very random person.
Upcoming stuff:
I have so many things going on that are coming up! I have about two weeks until exams (YIKES! What happened to this semester???????). I also have a ton of Loons games that are coming up. Please do come visit me at the Loons games! You'll find me serving food somewhere. I might be handling the food, or I might be floating, or I might be making food. You never know where you'll find me, so just look for me.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this in a past blog, but I am planning a Michigan version of Scott Alan's concert series called MONDAY NIGHTS NEW VOICES. I am so excited to get this series going. I am still looking for vocalists and composers that want to be involved with the series, so just email me at MNNVmidland@yahoo.com if you are interusted in being involved with the series.
Other stuff:
I've been working on the second screenplay of the sequals, and it is coming together very slowly. I havent had the time to do a whole lot of writing during the past few weeks, so not a whole lot of work has been done on it. The work that has been done on it has been SOOO much fun to do! I love the character in this second one even more than I ever thought I would!
Weather:
It's been warming up a TON around here! Today it was already in the upper fifties at about 10AM. I can hardley believe that it is almost the summer!
I think I got everthing, and it only took me one draft and about fifteen minutes to type and format!

Astonishing
As I said in my previous blog, I finished writing my first screenplay. I hope I can begin to explain some of the parts of writing this first screenplay that were some of the best days of my last year.
"Here I go, and there's no turning back, my great adventure has begun, I
may be small, but I've got giant plans, to shine as brightly as the sun, I will
blaze until I find my time and place, I will be fearless...be anything but
quiet...I'll be astonishing, astonishing, astonishing at last" from the
song "Astonishing" from the musical Little Women.
As I began writing the screenplay last May, I realized that I had a great adventure ahead of me. What I didn't know was how big the adventure I was embarking on really was. As I wrote more and more I learned more about myself than I ever thought I would know, or ever knew. I knew I couldn't turn back, I couldn't go back to who I was before I began writing. I learned so much about myself, and what I learned changed who I am forever. There are parts of Jennifer (my main character) that are based off of myself, and so as I put Jennifer into new situations, I learned things about different aspects of my life that had affected the way I look at different experiences I now have.
