Greetings, Bloggies and Fletchfiles.
Here's the latest -- I'm taking one of many bold new steps forward, so take note, as this one appears first among many. I am taking my place beside Franklin and Colbert and other great Americans and coining a phrase -- step back and prepare, as your life is about to change.
P'OSCAR -- new slang for posthumous Oscar award, such as was given to Peter Finch for NETWORK. Current usage: "Do you think Heath Ledger will win the P'OSCAR this year?" There -- I've coined it, the P'Oscar. And as we all know, copyright law states that as soon as something is fixed in a tangible form, such as a publication (as on the internet in a blog, for example), it is copyrighted by virtue of its creation.
So, do YOU think Heath Ledger will win the P'Oscar?
In other news, my very successful writing seminar, WRITE MAKES MIGHT: Stronger Structure In Storytelling, will make its debut this month on DVD in a very limited release at first. Plans are set to webcast the Keynote presentation on 2hip4tv.com and clips will be available soon on the net so interested parties can start booking this exciting and informative writing seminar. A new page on the home site designed around this seminar will correspond with the posting of the clips and the release of the DVD later this month.
In other news, my long-awaited novella LAST TANGO WITH MARLON is (also) being set for release in August with no further delays. I've signed off on the first run, which should be available in only a week or so, with a full page on the Trafford website. I just read this thing (yet again) the other day, and I stand behind it as one of the best, if not THE best thing I've ever written -- certainly the most realized and ambitious since THE TRIAL OF DAVY CROCKETT. I wouldn't be surprised if the reviews for TANGO match those of CROCKETT or the glowing reviews for the TANGO stage play. Stay tuned for more!
I'm continuing to book readings/signings of the new book -- interested parties can already access the BOOKINGS page of the home site, WWW.FLETCHERRHODEN.COM
Some will notice that the DVDS page is no longer accessible on the site -- we're gearing up for a new marketing operations at Fletcher Rhoden.com, including new sales and rental distribution deals, so DVDs are no longer for sale. It's just a temporary thing though, so don't fret -- your favorite titles and new DVDS, such as WRITE MAKES MIGHT: Stronger Structure In Storytelling, will be available soon -- faster, better, more reliable. Thanks for your patience!
There was some talk about a new review of my play LAST TANGO WITH MARLON -- I even got a hard copy from the writer, but there is no confirmation of this as yet. My feeling is that the writer hadn't turned in his copy before sending one to Raf Mauro, his friend and our eternal Wally. We'll see...
There is also talk of a brand new website, and this in the works, above and beyond anything you've come to expect from Fletcher Rhoden.com. Wish me luck!
For those who keep track of such things, I am also finishing up a new script with my brilliant and gorgeous writing partner, meanwhile readying for our next 3 projects together. I've had a lot of collaborators over the years, Fletchlings, among them my own dear ol' mother, but Jeanell Suggs is my favorite, far and away. Wait 'til you see what we're cooking up for you, Hollywood -- can't wait? You know where to find me.
"Til then, I'm laying down a few new songs in demo form for some kind of music release by the end of the year (believe me, folks -- if I could help it, I would). Good songs, though -- a sneak peek can be found on either the PERFORMANCES or the MUSIC pages of the home site, with at least one new posting coming in the next week. There's a few new things on there if you haven't been lately, and some older bits might be popped off to make way for new media, so check it out while you can!
When the clips from WRITE MAKES MIGHT are posted, we'll keep you... posted.
Best to all,
Fletch
