i have to write a synopsis. i am finding it harder than i thought i would. i mean, i know what's going to happen, in that i sorta do. but to have to write it down in a page? maybe i am making this more daunting than it has to be thinking about it this way. i'm sure if i wrote down one thing was going to happen, then further down the track something else did, no one one hold it against me...
i missed the deadline to apply for ozco funding this year, though those applications mystify me. you're supposed to write an outline of a project you're not allowed to start till november? how does that work? ah well, one of these days i'll work it out.
on the bollywood beauty screenplay front, there's good news - i received a first draft of the transcription of the book to script early this week. it's weird seeing it all laid out in script form like that - much as it was weird seeing my manuscript laid out as pages for the book. well, hopefully in a couple of years we'll have some real movie action to see. my dad was thumbing thorugh the script and was disappointed there was no speaking part in it for him, though... hehe. at least i won't have to go far to look for extras!

Hey! I missed where it said your book was being optioned and turned into a film! That's brilliant! Congrats you!
Bummer about the ozco grant. They can be daunting but in fact (in my exp) the Lit Fund New Work is probably the most straight forward. It's true, it's bizarre to nominate what you want to write from Nov on. But it's just sort of...wishful thinking stuff. If you were given some $ what might you want to write...?
It's irritating that there's only one chance per year to do this one, most of the boards have two.
Anyway, you'll be busy with everything else! (Maybe dad can have a cameo?!)
Hi Shalini! not sure if you remember me, one of the 3 'brown girls' from mannix college. I googled you (and thought 'oooo i love blogger.com - procrastination central') because Honours is done in a few weeks, and that means finally getting time to read all the books i've had to put off. That’s wicked news about the script. I’ll be able to tell people ‘I kind of knew her when’.
A big congrats, it’s good to hear the writing career is going so well.
