Quick Update

Hey! I've been working hard on creating my wikipeida article. I'm nearly done and trying to figure out how to put photos on. I also need to figure out to publish it. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.

Found it!

I know I've been updating a lot today, but after a relentless search, I have found the new article I am going to create for Wikipedia. Since I am a Harry Potter fan and editing the book series page, I have decided to create a character entry for Ginny Weasley. I was very surprised that such an important character didn't have a page on Wikipedia already. I am in the beginning stages of developing the page and hopefully should have it done sometime next week. I will post the permanent link for the article when it's finish. Let's hope this one doesn't get deleted!

Writing Update # 2

Ok, so I know I only have one person reading this blog, but I just wanted to write about my writing. I am currently writing a children's book, an idea that was inspired by personal experiences and my time in a Children's Literature. It is a literary fairy tale, one that I aspire to be much different from previous ones. I am currently half-way through it right now and hope to finish the first draft before the summer starts. I've been on a role with it lately, so hopefully that deadline is within reach.

I am also coming up with ideas for re-crafting for my script. It's a sci-fi/action-adventure film. I wrote a draft of this but am re-writing it after reading several screenwriting novels and screenplays themselves. I call this my Star Wars, my opus and the biggest test of my imagination.

Me and my writing partner also have come up with a television show idea. It's geared mainly towards children and would find an excellent home on the Disney Channel.

My big dream is to be a screenwriter, so I hope one day I shall see my sci-fi script on the silver screen! Peace out for now.

On the Search for Wikipedia Article

I'm trying to find an article that is not created already on Wikipedia. This is a hard task considering everything you can possibily think of has a page. So the search goes on...

Wikipedia Harry Potter Edit #3

I made another quick grammatical edit on the Harry Potter wikipedia page. Here is the permalink: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Potter&oldid=351975326

I fixed some stuff in the Theme Park section.

Wikipedia Harry Potter Edit #2

I visted the Harry Potter article again upon recieving news that the theme park in Universal Studios would be open June 18th, 2010. This is the change I made in the Theme Park section of the article.

Here is the permalink: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Potter&oldid=351972007

Wikipedia Update- Three Stooges

So I went to go and check on my Three Stooges article and it got deleted:( It's really no big deal, it's just that my permanent link doesn't even exist anymore.

Wikipedia- Deletion Article Edit #1

For my second Wikipedia article, I decided to try and save "The Three Stooges Collection Vol 4 1943-1945" from deletion. Though it's briefly mentioned on the Stooges page, I think it was important enough in their history to warrant it's own page. Grant it, I don't know much about the Stooges, but I didn find the topic interesting when I started doing research. There's not much there right now, but there was absolutely nothing when I started editing the article. I am hoping someone with more Three Stooges knowledge than me can add some more to it.

Here is the permalink for the work I've done so far: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Three_Stooges_Collection,_Volume_Four:_1943-1945&oldid=351504833

I really hope this article stays!

Wikipedia- Harry Potter Edit 1

As I have said in my previous post, I plan to edit the article about the Harry Potter book series. I have read each of the seven books several times and know enough about the world J.K Rowling has created.

I made the first of my edits today. I focused entirely in the cultural impact section, updating information, polishing grammar and adding references when needed. In particular, I made a mention how much the final Harry Potter book sold, and cleaned up the grammar concerning the mid-night release parties and the Oxford English Dictionary.

I might go back later and make some more changes, but as of now, I believe this was a substantial edit.

Here is the permanent link for my edits:

Wikipedia Vist # 1

For my Wikipedia assignment, I have decided to edit the Harry Potter article. I am well versed in the series and believe the article is substantial enough for me to make effective edits.

Here is the permanent link to the article:

Writing Update #1

Aside from using this blog for school purposes, I plan to use this to help promote when ventures into the world of professional writing. For those of you who don't know, I'm an aspiring screenwriter and a children's author. An eclectic combination I know, but one nevertheless that I aspire to.

Though I have developed a bevy of script ideas, I am now focusing all my attention on my children's book idea. I am in the beginning stages of development, but hope to at least finish the first draft by the summer.

I am still developing my screenplay and hope to work on it upon completion of my book. This idea has been calling to me for quite sometime and I couldn't ignore it any longer.

Peace out!
