A place where all Art is appreciated,
respected and most importantly; a place where everyone is open and enthusiastic about their love for all forms of artistic expression
I can't thank you all enough for supporting me in my recent request --which I'm sure may have sounded more formal than it needed to-- to help me by voting for my submission into the Your Big Break New Zealand Competition:
www.your-big-break.com/entry/1…

I submitted my entry on the January, 12th and it already has close to 400 views! and I am very grateful because I know a lot of the support has come from this loving and enthusiastic community; as well as additional support from my friends on facebook and twitter.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this journal and for those whom have review (and voted for) my entry.

I found it quite amusing when I finished and I realized that my characters are reflections of myself; their needs, wants (such as the desire to see the world) and emotions. :emo:

I do not have anything published, this would quite literally be "my big break" but I do have outlines and drafts of numerous ideas that I refer to as my work. I am a freshman at Western Connecticut State University.
I was accepted to a private school in D.C. and was offered a sizable financial package but I turned it down in hopes that I would find a program that would help me in my aspiration to become and succeed as a screenwriter and although I have not found something specific at WCSU I have been enjoying my time there and have been saving, researching and planning on transferring to a school that has a specific screen writing program such as; Tisch School of the Arts

My deepest thanks for this opportunity and the support you have so lovingly given.
Graciously yours,
Marina Coddaire

Some of my more recent favorites

Ahhh 2010 (pronounced twenty ten) you seem so new, so fresh.
Would you like to be friends?
Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not going to ask that you do all the work, I of course am responsible for my own happiness I would of course appreciate some good possibilities and hopefully I’ll take advantage of them.
Some of my thoughts for the new year:

Let’s start with a cliché,
I’ve already changed my “way of life” if you will, I eat differently, I work differently, I sleep differently (as to suggest more than before) and all is pretty well, none the less I would like to list Getting Healthier on my new year list, just because it will be good to have another reminder…

Develop a more solid schedule.
My schedule is very flexible and that will change naturally when spring semester starts but I will only have class on Tuesday and Thursday which leaves a lot of time for procrastination (something everyone struggles with to some degree, I so happen to be blessed/cursed with a high probability. I digress; I intend to find a way to keep to a tight schedule for everything from getting ready to travel to class/study/work time to free time.

Read
It is not funny (well then again) how many books that I own, that I have yet to read. Quite a few I’m sure will turn out to be favorites.
I will have to fit them into my schedule lol.

Write my first complete script.
Oh yes, I intended on getting together with a friend over her break but we both seem to have forgotten but no matter for I have plenty of potential plots and sufficiently developed characters to last me a while. But it is very important to me to complete a script, preferably two versions of the same story: a pilot for a television series and a full feature.

Write my first COMPLETE short story/novel
There are some things that need to start as a book before it can become or be successful as a movie, although, perhaps I would keep this story as a book…

Enter and place in a Photography Contest
To be honest I don’t want to nor do I expect to win the contest I just want to take the chance. (thus I’m not mentioning what contest this is lest any of you amazing artists decide to give it a try to muhahaha)

Collect more of the Andrew Lang Fairy Books
I’ve started to collect old books and by old I mean books published before 1900 (although some of the Andrew Lang books were first published in the 1900’s) sadly these books are not only expensive, but, hard to find. I currently have the first of the series The Blue Fairy Book.

Keep in touch with my close Friends
Now that I’m in college I no longer attend the same school as many of my close friends. It is very important to me that our friendship remain strong. No matter what. I will use all forms of communication from snail mail to skype. It pains me to think of the day where I will most likely have to move out to CA where I doubt any of the people I know live (save my fifth cousin Dan whom I’ve met once) It will be difficult.

Save
I’m sure you all know what I mean by save.
Save the Money
Over the last month and a half I have spent way too much, sadly I can not say that It was mostly on other people lol. The only good thing is that I won’t have to buy any more clothes for a long time. –I’m excited to save and see my bank account grow, I will need it for when I move.
Technically I should only have to spend an average of $30 per week between gas and some food (depending if I get something at school or if I wait to go home etc)

Learn something new everyday
I love to learn, no matter what it’s about. It’s inspiring when I get to share something I’ve learned with someone else and it is fun to incorporate new information into something like my writing or a conversation (if that new noun is a new word) and thanks to dictionary.com, worknik.com or historychannel.com that won’t be difficult.

---best for last---

L’Amour
I’d like to met someone and develop a relationship, I see people who are “twiterpated” and I would like to experience that (although I’m not exactly one for mushyness, clichés or PDA) and it’s obvious that relationships are uplifting and inspiring and I most certainly want that in 2010.
