Thursday Thirteen - 212 - 13 Randoms From My Life Right Now

1 - Just donated to a funding campaign for a dance film starring two of Canada's most exquisite dancers - Rex Harrington and Evelyn Hart.

This is the coolest idea ever. A site where you can run a limited campaign to fundraise for independent projects.

CLICK HERE for Rex's fundraising campaign - only 2 days left







2 - Met with my film editor at 902 POST last week and put together the assembly edit of the book trailer in a few hours.

Doug Woods - making my dreams come true. SO thrilled to be working with you.





3 - On Friday I'll be attending a Women in Film and Television Atlantic event with my producer Tara featuring cinematographer Becky Parsons.









4 - Was watching the first part of the 2-hour season 6 Supernatural finale when my fellow Ryerson film school grad Adam Reid showed up as the H.P. Lovecraft expert.

Didn't see that coming.

He was awesome!





5 - Got my bookmarks designed and printed thanks to Caroline and Tara.











6 - Met with my web designer Anne MacFarlane and set up a schedule for the launch of my very own dot com site.
















7 - I applied for my passport in preparation for my trip next month to New York City for the writers' conference.









8 - Signed up online for my agent and editor appointments at the conference.









9 - Starting to practice my story pitches for the conference.
















10 - Spent Victoria Day weekend critiquing a friend's manuscript. A perfect thing to do when the weather was cool and soggy.

















11 - Mucho backlogged-io at the day job, but finally getting to the point where I can see a faint light at the end of the tunnel.

*sigh*

















12 - Did manage to wash a dog blanket, a people blanket and a load of clothes, and hung them on the line on the one day that had some sunny breaks and a gentle breeze.

Mmm. I love fresh clothes off the line.















13 - After weeks of unrelenting wetness here in the Maritimes, I managed to get the lawn mowed.

Triumph!
