Scripts and opening night | Seabrooke
https://seabrookeleckie.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/scripts-and-opening-night
Another idea, shiny and new. And the winner is…. →. Scripts and opening night. April 11, 2013. Back in December one of my CPs, Charlee Vale. Asked me to read a project she was working on. It was a script for a play, her graduate thesis. I’d never read a script before, and I’ve seen a few plays but not in quite a number of years now, but I’ve read plenty of stories and I’d loved Charlee’s novels that I’d read, so I agreed. It’s fantastic, and deserved. Hope you have many more! Another idea, shiny and new.

Now on Tumblr →. Professional critics and appropriate reviews. August 21, 2013. I’m going to apologize in advance for a small rant I’ve had brewing for a little while, and which finally came to a head with the new Mortal Instruments movie (which I have yet to see, but doesn’t matter for this post). The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones came out today, and there are already plenty of ratings up on the site for it, from both critics and audience. As of writing this, this is how it looks:. Of the movie in w...

Professional critics and appropriate reviews. Writing process blog hop →. December 5, 2013. I can see I’ve fallen into the habit of neglecting this blog. I think I’m just finding it a little too solitary for my social media needs at the moment. Like standing at the front of the room presenting, rather than mingling amongst a crowd – when your audience is small, you notice more, and it feels more lonely.

An update on things. Professional critics and appropriate reviews →. August 16, 2013. I’ve been neglecting my poor blog the last few months, busy with other projects and distractions. So here’s some of the latest from me:. First, August 13 and 14 were WriteOnCon. I think a lot of writers already know about this, but if you don’t, it’s this great free! Just for fun and feedback. If you’re interested in reading them and seeing what I’m working on, they’re here. For a bit of cheerleading a little while ago ...

Character diversity →. More good news for a friend! April 23, 2013. Become the president, if you worked at it, but that’s something that happens for other people. So it’s a little surreal to find it happening for me and my CPs now. I signed with an agent. A couple weeks ago. My friend Maggie sold her book. Just before Christmas. My friend Charlee had the excitement of seeing a play she wrote performed. And now, the latest addition, which I’m super excited about:. My friend Heather Smith just signed a deal.

Chugging along →. An update on things. June 11, 2013. In any case, an update! Because things have been happening in the meantime, while I’ve been away pondering the meaning of blog. First, I’ve changed my pen name yet again. Minor change this time, reverting the first name back to my real one but keeping the same pen surname I was using before (thus: Seabrooke Scott). The Saybe didn’t work for most people, and I really like the uniqueness and. Second, I got the edit notes back from my agent, Rachael, on.

More good news for a friend! An update on things →. May 13, 2013. I’m not sure if it’s just the online circles I hang out in or if it’s a wider thing, but lately I’ve seen a bunch of commentary and criticism on character diversity (or the lack thereof) in YA novels. Is a new blog started up by Marieke Nijkamp. Also of the YA Misfits. 8212;—–. The last few weeks I’ve been wrapped up with moving and getting settled into a new house, unpacking and addressing problems and all that stuff that comes with a cha...
