This week I received two script requests and convinced a producer to pitch my new script to some of his contacts. I also accepted a new S32 connection, who immediately asked me for a favor. And another person that wanted to enlighten me about an organization called the Illuminati sent me a private message. Perhaps you've heard of them? I took the imaginary sign off my forehead that said This guy may be a mark.
How’s your week going?

I do believe they sell lights. If not I am opening a shop called that.

I keep getting text messages from unknown numbers that contain a link that I just have to download, right?! FOMO! How did my number get on such a list? Yikes!

Congratulations! Working on various projects (book reviews, partnerships, obtaining ratings on projects in preparation for pitching)
Tasha:
Sounds like you're putting forth a great effort.

Phillip, I'm not only making new connections here at Stage 32 and on Script Revolution, I'm working on developing characters for two new screenplays I'm trying to launch this week...and cooking up an outline/scene list for an additional script.
What's more, I started using Prewrite last Sunday and I'm running my existing scripts through it. (Even just got through entering Stage 32's Logline Contest!)
But YOU'RE the one on fire right now, Phillip! Many congrats to you, and all the VERY BEST to you, too!

I start teaching my screenwriting class in about a week - I guess I better learn how to write one this week.

Thank you.

I finished a new pitch deck yesterday.
The illuminati is fake.
They do have good cookies though.

Phillip "Le Raconteur" Hardy Thank you for your kind words. I'm way ahead of schedule. Stage 32 has allowed me to develop, network and work towards my goals.
Still waiting to hear back about a pitch that I made. Also need to contact about a gig I worked on. Otherwise it’s back to writing my novella and advertising.
Robert Anton Wilson and another writer wrote The Illuminati Trilogy in the 70s as a satire. Of course, some nut job conspiracy theorists couldn't resist believing it.
As I recall, the concept started with a small secret society called the Illuminatus, in Germany in the 1800s.
Just entered a logline contest here on Stage 32...let's see what happens... :)
The Illuminati is real. I know. We used to meet up on Thursday nights in Billy Bob's rumpus room and drink Burgie beer.
