Screenwriting course for $19: Limited time offer

Screenwriting course

Screenwriting course

Disclaimer 1: I know nothing about this course or teacher. It came through Groupon (links below) for $19. Price of a hardback book or even some trade paperbacks (or even some e-books). I thought I would give it a try. According to the company offering the course, it is normally $199.

I have posted a couple of links below to the same offer. It is for a limited time.

Disclaimer 2: There will be an offer to “Buy with David and save.” You can ignore that or use it as you wish. It come with the links, but I am not looking to make money on this. If you belong to Groupon, you can probably find this offering without the “Buy … and save” option. That’s okay with me.

If anybody had taken the class and wants to send me comments, I will see about posting them. If anybody takes the class and sends me comments, I will see about posting them.

Disclaimer 3: I do not know if this will work outside the United States.

Star Trek stamps

Star Trek
For those writers who will be mailing out manuscripts in 2016, particularly science fiction manuscripts, these stamps may be just the item you’ll need. Who knows, since they are forever stamps, writers might be using them into the 23rd Century.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the television premiere, the new Star Trek Forever stamps showcase four digital illustrations inspired by classic elements of the television program:

Star Trek US postage stamps for 2016

  • the Starship Enterprise inside the outline of a Starfleet insignia against a gold background;
  • the silhouette of a crewman in a transporter against a red background;
  • the silhouette of the Enterprise from above against a green background; and,
  • the Enterprise inside the outline of the Vulcan salute (Spock’s iconic hand gesture) against a blue background.

The words “SPACE… THE FINAL FRONTIER,” from Captain Kirk’s famous voice-over appear beneath the stamps against a background of stars. The stamps were designed by Heads of State under the art direction of Antonio Alcalá.
