My Now Page

 

What am I up to these days?

A Now page let’s you catch up on the bigger picture of my life. Read: why I started one. I also share the in-between on my social page, my blog and sometimes on Instagram: @iammailyne

I’m still recovering from burnout, and doing my very best to be grateful for everything I have in my life exactly as it is now because the world is on fire and descending into utter chaos.

  • In April I’ll be in Lake Arrowhead for a few nights in a very nice cabin celebrating three people’s birthdays.

  • In February I started a chapbook. I realized I didn’t want to publish it with the publisher that said they would publish it. Instead, I am moving slower with it, purchased ISBNs for it, found an editor and have designed the book cover and layout. If I choose to self-publish, it will be ready before the end of the year. If I find a suitable publisher during this process, I will go that route.

  • I am waiting for a response from the publisher I sent my novella to. They note that it will take at least six months to receive a response, and so far it’s been about three.

  • I am prepping for production on a short film I wrote and will direct in June and also a proof of concept for a friend’s feature film that I’m producing.

  • This weekend I’m in production on a horror short film. I’m a producer and 1st AD.

  • I completed my feature script (draft 5). I sent it for notes from friends, but I really, really like where it is. It has evolved SO much. I am packaging it now and preparing to find funding. I have seed money to start it. The film will be shot in Canada.

  • Meanwhile, there is another story I want to tell about an experience I had when I was sixteen working at a night club. It will be a second feature script I have also started to write.
