Last week I sent two scripts off to the Austin Film Festival. I hope to attend the festival this year. Among the panelists will be William Broyles Jr., Audrey Wells and Eric Roth. It will be very educational, no doubt. I am sure there will be many interesting people to meet at such a gathering as well. Yet, I always visualize myself as the girl sitting alone at the table in the corner. I never feel like I fit in. I tend to imagine people looking down their noses at me, if they look at all, wondering what I am doing there. Something of a Sanjaya, but without the great hair.
In any case, today I am beginning to work on a fourth rewrite of my last spec. We received some very interesting and helpful notes over the weekend and I look forward to implementing some of them.

Hey, Annabel,
I'm planning on attending Austin this year as well. Hope to see you there.
Annabel,
Four words --
The Driskill Hotel Bar...
Simply hang out there when you can, you won't be disappointed.
Tracy, if I manage to get to Austin I will buy you a drink! :)
Matt, thanks for the tip!
Silly girl. Austin will be the one place you DO fit in -- we're all writers. We don't fit anywhere else, but we fit there.
You'll see.
Look forward to finally meeting you!
Thanks, Julie! I am glad to hear you will be going. It will be great to finally meet you in person after chatting online for two years. :)
Thanks! Both for the congrats, and for stopping by. I don't think I've seen your blog before, so an informal welcome to the scribosphere as well! :-) Hope to "see you" around!
Thanks, Joel! I have been reading and enjoying your blog for some time now. It is nice to "meet" you. :)
