I admit it. I search regularly to find out who is writing about Act One. Someone told me once this is called ego-surfing. I call it just another way to keep from writing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019m glad I was at it today because I found a really nice review of our recent Screenwriting Weekend in Fort Lauderdale. Go here<\/strong><\/a> to read all about how these weekends unfold, and what one writer\u2019s experience was. It means a lot that somebody with no connection to us would write such a nice endorsement.<\/p>\n

And then, recall that the next Act One Screenwriting Weekend happens in Vegas Feb. 3-4. It will feature humble moi, and Jan \u201cthe Maven\u201d Batchler along with our alumn weekend coordinator, writer Lauri Deason. Go here<\/strong><\/a> to register for Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
