Word of the day: coruscate - to reflect brilliantly. I'm watching You're the Worst and this episode one of the characters makes trash juice. It's hard alcohol mixed with fruit juice.

Word of the day: Peregrinate (verb) To travel or wander around from place to place. Still no word from the festival. I submitted screenplays to more festivals today. Once I finish with Countdown to Failure (Saviors) I have the idea for a new children's screenplay. Maybe I will write that first and... Sign in to see full entry.
