POSTED ON SCRIPTAPALOOZA’s FB PAGE – BUT THIS MESSAGE PERTAINS TO ALL SCREENWRITERS EVERYWHERE:
Congratulations 2 all the terrific Screenwriters who placed in Mark’s Scriptapalooza’s Screenwriting Competition as a Quarterfinalist Winner! Jump for JOY – U made it thus far!
QQ: Quick Question: Mark, how many Quarterfinalists submitted Entries this year? I'm just curious as compared to the entries you received from last year. R U finding UR getting more and more screenwriters - I would guess that answer is: YES!
Now for some WoW: Words of Wisdom for all Quarterfinalist Winners who DO NOT make the Semi-Finalist Position and that is:
Start your Rewriting now - as it was prob. something that did not flow correctly that prevented you from getting to that position and/or higher in case you do not make SaP’s Semi-Finalist Positioning.
FYI: My script, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 placed in Mark's Quarterfinalist Ranking last year and I've been rewriting said Script steadily the last 4 months. Plus, I now have ‘ANTS’ sanctioned as 2 Books & 2 Scripts so I now have 2 outstanding Products to sell. It is totally differ-ANT than it was. And I am more pleased than ever before.
ANOTHER SET OF WoW: Words of Wisdom is that: Don’t submit a script till you let it ‘set & simmer’ for a while – even as long as 2 months. The thought and rewrites you will gain will sharpen it all the more. Maturity does help in cases like this.
MY SUGGESTION: As a Quarterfinalist, get started now in your editing, rewriting and reviewing so you can take your Script (yourself) to the next level, as U will have to start promoting it on your own with your own vices and devices. U will learn so much more about the WRITING PROCESS. And U’ll be spurred on to keep at it, since U now have this Designation – by beating out 1000s of others that you were competing with!
Again, CONGRATS! U’ve come a long ways – and there’s still a long ways to go, but don’t forget – it only takes 1 person to believe in that Script…
C U on the Red Carpet!
Cheers,

As posted on my Facebook Page earlier today.
ASK ON GREAT LITERARY NEWS:
Dateline: Monday, July 25, 2011 – 5:20 PM CST
Both Books entitled iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009 combined are now well over 50,000 words! About the size of an average colony. Enough ANTS to invade a picnic and nearly 8 times the amount of the population of my home town – if each Word is equated to a Person. And there are some persons/people that do remind me of words. Good ones; bad ones and ones that can’t be discussed in/on Social Networkg Groups like these. After all, aren’t we quite judgmental when we see someone walking down the street – don’t most of us TAG them even B-4 we get to know them – if we do that, at that? U have to love those Milestones that slip in when least expected…like uninvited company. Like while being iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS.

Eventology® celebrates 21ST Anniversary Today on July 25, 2011 - 9:45 PM
A descriptive Writing celebrating the ART OF EVENTOLOGY ® follows that appeared on my Facebook Page. A friend of mine, Eddy V. in Mexico sent a ntoe to me and I responded and then decided to post it here, too:
EV states: "Happy 1/3-of-your-Creative-Life Anniversary! I have been trying to ASK you for a short summary of what an Eventologist is, and I guess this is the right time: could you share it either here on FB or by sending it to my email?"
===============
Hey, EDDY: HI! How are you? Hey, thanks for the greetings - when I realized it was 1/3 of my life, I was a bit freaked out! Now to answer that question of yours, quite simple, Eventology is comprised of goodwill, humanitarian, altruistic, educational, recreational, good-time, good-type and spiritual HOLIDATES that I began creating 21 years ago - under the Name of:
EVENTOLOGY ®
The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith’s Campaigns For Humanity ©1990
There are 2000 of them – such as PAW ©1994 – Pet Appreciation Week; Natl Splurge Day ©1994; The Great American Warm-Up ©1994; Skeptics’ Days Intl ©1997….all falling into 37 diff. Categories. There’s even some to help people eat healthily and wisely called: EAT-Vents ® -- about 400 of those – that are especially important since so many people cannot control their eating habits – but then, that depends on where you live.
What made these HOLIDATES really popular back in the 1990s, EDDY was that a directory called: CHASE’s CALENDAR OF EVENT carried about 40 of them so I was doing lots of radio interviews around the world – this was way before 9/11 hit and advertising agencies would DEVELOP A DAY for their client(s) promoting their goods. I created this literary genre only because it was an entrtaining and creative thing to do. Wehn it was a slow day in either publishing/radio or TV, the journalists would call the writers in CCOE and since I was the top contributor, I got lots of media coverage on them. Chit-chatting away with media folks was always fun - this was early email days when things were not that advanced as we are today with FB, Twitter and all those other social networks that make our communication so much better.
I always say I am Hallmark’s Worst Nightmare. Oprah Winfrey’s courier came and picked up my press kit on the EVENTS in Jan., 1998 when I appeared in a national woman’s mag called WOMAN’s WORLD from New Jersey – in which she appeared on the Cover. A flurry of articles appeared in the 1990s, only because everyone thought they were novel and fun to do – from school teachers to radio talk show hosts! Then in the late 1990s I got into single unit writings (like small books) but I continued developing the Events. In 2009 I started all this screenwriting – that also uses the HOLIDATES when they seem to fit in.
That’s about IT – all about Eventology in a nutshell, Eddy!
What are you working on this week? Did you have a great weekend at the beach about 2 weeks ago? I am surprised you came back!
Cheers, Adrienne

Jim Farina: Chicago Scriptwriter flies high by beating out 90% of his Competition!
My Friend, JIM FARINA, a Finalist (making the TOP 10% of over 3,600+ International Movie Script Entries) from Scriptapalooza’s Intl Screenplay Competition: 2010 4 his ‘Martin Eden’ turned me on 2 this terrific Site:
http://www.fresh-voices.com/screenplaymarketing.html
that may interest any Screenwriter trying to figure out where he/she goes next.
At first glance, I was merely intrigued by 3 Quotes that I caught my eye which are:
“If U can tell me your Idea in 25 words or less, it’s going 2 make a pretty good film.” Quote of Steven Spielberg/DreamWorks
AND:
Writing is only 50% of the writer's job. The other 50% is sales. Don't expect 2 write a good Script & the Agent w/ take care of the rest. In Today's Hollywood, U must B able 2 sell yourself & your Material.
There evidently is a story here behind the MAN WITH HIS SCRIPT. For any reporter, journalist and/or reporter wishing to find out more about Jim’s Talents, the Status of MARTIN EDEN, etc., write to him here and your message will be expedited to his studio.

Joe Koopersmith & The Art of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle
My BRO, JOE KOOPERSMITH who lives in the State of Oregon now is 1 of the greatest HD wheeler-dealers in the world. He knows those bikes like the back of his hand. He started looking for old parts nearly 40 years ago in the old barns of Midwest America - in the Heartlands & worked his way up to being a collector / builder / restorer and expert on the complete ART of The Harley Davidson Motorcycle. Check him out on eBay - he sells vintage parts there regularly. And yes, Pappy Pierce's Harley Shop in DeKalb IL is where he still calls HOME. Yup, U could say I'm pretty proud of my Little Bro.

COUNTDOWN TO 60 - AS Koopersmith's Last 13 Months! How a Creative BabyBoomer faces the Reality of Seniorita-ority®
DiCEY EXPLANATION: In my FB Stream there is a really cool group that sends me & many others insightful pieces. Today when I got online, this met me and I felt it was VERY appropo as I realized - had been looking forward to it(actually) that today is a milestone - yet another one in my life. MIDDLE AGED CRAZY stated something about 2 food groups that many folks like: OYSTERS & BEER. My VO: Valued Opinion followed which is worth reading, as I find aging to be a blessing and not a curse.
Middle Aged Crazy: Because Being Creative Can Save Your Life
Gimme oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year and I'll be fine. Jimmy Buffet
Gotta love it: ie: The Aging Process. In 13 months from TODAY, I turn 60 - as in Sixty. So what am I doing about that: Aging gracefully, of course. I had started: AFSEE (R): Advocates For Senior Equality & Enrichment back when I turned 49.5 so many years ago. Now, it's the GREAT COUNTDOWN TO 60.

ANIMATORS' - WRITERS' - SCREENWRITERS' NEWS: Live From Chicago
Tomorrow, Friday July 8, 2011, I will be releasing the BIG FIGURES on ‘ANT STORY®’ – my Scriptapalooza Qtrfinalist Winner of 2010 that beat out 3,164 other scripts last July. From 5 Words to a 138 page Script to 2 Scripts & 2 Books now, ‘ANTS’ has come a LONG Way. Cool Thoughts on how 2 creatively re-create a Master. Features Toys, the hottest Brand in Hollywood and elsewhere. Is a Cliff Notes Version far behind? It’s on the front burner.

Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith's 4TH of July: 2011 - Let the Ruckus begin!
Here in America, it’s getting close 2 that time of year: July 4TH – time 2 B patriotic. And w/ that thought & note (musical of course) in mind, I’m out of here! There wasn’t any email, FB or anything technical or high tech 235 years ago when R forefathers founded this great country of ours so I’m going to follow suit and do like they did or didn't and just lay-back, B lazy, watch a few parades, eat a few brats, view some fireworks; watch some ANTS parading around and generally spoil myself! That will feel mighty good by all accounts. And, I hope U do the very same 4 URself and loved ones.

The TOYS of SKiN™: Sacred Kinship in Nature: How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race ©2009
FROM THE DESKTOP OF:
ASK: ADRiENNE SiOUX KOOPERSMiTH
SCREENWRITER – AUTHOR – EVENTOLOGIST
STUDIO 1437
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS USA
Tom Hanks stated in a recent BBC Interview in June (2011) that he believes TOY STORY 4 is ‘in The Works,’ but they haven’t seen anything yet until they have seen my TOYS! In the Grand Spectrum and Boxes (full) of TOYS scattered across our Granite Planet, there are TOYS and then there are:
TOYS!
My TOYS fall into the Second Category, although they are (by far) not Secondary in Nature. No one is whether they are (that) animated or inanimate in Nature. My TOYS innately represent a clear Cross-Section of Wild & Tame; Domesticated & unDomesticated; Endangered and non-Threatened Species as well as those found at Resale & Retail Outlets. With this endless Variety, there are Valuable Lifetime Lessons to be learned and passed along, all seen through the spirited Eyes of our Playmates: TOYS.
My TOYS have their own Play-Room and matching FONTS & Language.
Without a Doubt & beyond any lurking Shadows, My TOYS rock, roll and reel.
At your Convenience and by all means and manners, please check-out THE CHARACTOYS® of:
SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE™
HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE ©2009
that also includes:
iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ©2009
The Scriptapalooza International Screenplay Competition Quarterfinalist Winner of 2010 that beat out 3,164 other Scripts in July of 2010. Imagine that if you can!
Topping off their Uniqueness, I must also add that SKiN’s prevailing and dominant Themes featuring ‘My TOYS’ are targeted to:
eliminate Racism;
dispel The Mixed Signals and Ironies of every Day Life;
realize fully that your (false and irrationally made) Prejudgments should be diligently avoided at all Costs & Efforts; and
get to The Heart of what really matters is all that matters most.
AS OF JULY 1, 2011: Four of the 6 BOOKS/Movie Scripts are complete. Once read, it can honestly be said (and felt all the Way through your Bones) that any Bigoted Bone(s) a(ny) Person has will soon disappear. Now, that’s ‘The Unbridled Magic of Writing’ only found in:
KOOPERSMITH’S KINGDOM & KALENDAR:
A RETURN TO UTOPIA®.
An illustrated 1-Page Attachment entitled:
PURSUiNG A LiFETiME OF CREATiVE iNSPiRATiON
announces my latest Creative HOLIDATE® named:
ANIMAYTION Month International®
that is an Ancillary to SKiN’s BOOKS & Scripts. AMI is aptly scheduled for the Merry Month of May in 2012 and all subsequent years.
Order info is detailed below.
TO REiTERATE: As I had stated: “…They haven’t seen anything yet until they have seen my TOYS-iN-ACTiON as in Lights – Camera – ACTiON!

ASK's Announcement: July 1: Countdown to EVENTOLOGY's 21st Anniversary...
or would that be considered a BIRTHDAY? Wondering and pondering minds want to know. When does a birthday suddenly become an Anniversary & vica versa. People marry and they celebrate an anniversary. People are born and age. They celebrate their birthdays. It's a debate; like most things are for those who like to and enjoy arguing points.
Make no doubt about IT tho...on Monday, July 25TH, 2011 at 9:45 PM, it's the 21st Year Anniversaried Birth-Date of my founding of:
EVENTOLOGY™
The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith's Campaigns for Humanity ©1990.
Now, there are well over 1,900 HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE that systematically fall into 37 different categories. In other words (since we don't like to repeat ourselves here)there is something worthwhile for everyone to participate in.
For more info, email ASK:
askoopersmith(at)hotmail(dot)com
to see the difference a HOLIDATE makes!
