And I stopped by Camroc to read your poems - wonderful!<br /><br />The news from here is mostly to do with business - we're receiving the last of our seasonal stock from Germany and the Czech Republic, so taking hundred of product shots and editing the images for the website. September through December is our busiest time of the year, so we're gearing up, happily. Working with my daughter is a joy and we both love what we do, so these are happy days.Golden Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590087189810939432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-81160372628755139232010-08-24T03:26:55.142-07:002010-08-24T03:26:55.142-07:00With all those projects you deserve much success.With all those projects you deserve much success.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-36948238626853276272010-08-23T01:07:11.858-07:002010-08-23T01:07:11.858-07:00Thanks, Titus!

So far, with the novel I'm adapting, I'm discovering I am a very visual writer and I move my characters like actors anyhow, so it's not been too difficult from that aspect, but there are devices I use in novel writing which simply do not carry across to screen so it's all change there - but good.<br /><br />Thank you.Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-37389740475320853462010-08-22T13:31:36.945-07:002010-08-22T13:31:36.945-07:00Rachel - here's what I do: delegate what you c...Rachel - here's what I do: delegate what you can and then do the thing which absolutely must be done and let the other things prioritise themselves! <br /><br />It's the only way forward. There's no such thing as failure, only achievements waiting to happen (in an orderly queue is handy but not essential). <br /><br />Best of luck with your decision making!Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-7983341120306789862010-08-22T12:38:34.899-07:002010-08-22T12:38:34.899-07:00A screenplay!

But I do think it is always more exciting (although more difficult) when there are more rules and limitations, isn't it? Good luck with this new adventure (I'm sure you'll do exceptionally well, like with everything else).Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17708851895104018255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-48290443527727699992010-08-22T03:08:30.432-07:002010-08-22T03:08:30.432-07:00What am I up to?

I have had an interest in trying screenwriting for a while but I was put off by remebering how tedious writing plays was as a teenager (used to write them for my highschool friends to perform in drama or assembly!), but with the software available now I had no excuse not to give it a try. And there's such a buzz about screenwritng. Also it's helpful to see the novel reduced to plet and it's creative to adapt internal thought to visual/dialogue exposition...so much...really another blog post.<br /><br />Thanks again.Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573472801176728225.post-29656309184487110912010-08-22T00:38:40.031-07:002010-08-22T00:38:40.031-07:00Nuala - you're most welcome!
