Happy 2013, Everyone

Okay, so it's a little late - been busy, y'all.  And while we're at it, what happened to the website, you're asking?

We were hacked.  Not horribly, just enough to freak me out and make me want to make sure it won't happen again.  Still working on that but we seem fairly stable now.  Now if I just get Google to forget that bit of nonsense and re-index us my life would be happier.

And, yes, I am putting up a new site that will be cleaner, tighter and mobile aware.  That wasn't a lie - just not the total story.

Until then, I'm shutting down site registration for a few reasons - mainly because I need to gain better control of it and that won't happen until the new framework is up. 

You can still sign up for the newsletter and get the latest - click HERE

There will be new content coming but I'll be keeping a bit more control over that too.  I may or may not open the front page to anonymous users - not sure yet.  But until then, until all that happens, enjoy what's here, keep on the lookout for some on-the-ground stuff (like seminars) coming up soon!

So, stay focused and keep working for that dream!  We'll be right there with you in 2013 and beyond.

Thanks and all our best,
Mark, and the amazing Board of Directors for OC Screenwriters: Eric, Joe, Larry, Robert, Rudy, Toby and Victor!
