Crikey.

 Greetings!

If you've stumbled upon this blog, welcome! If you're returning, welcome back! I'm not sure how this blog gained some sporadic traction, but I suppose it's like leaving a garden and returning to find sprouts. (I'm a terrible garderner and even worse at keeping up with a blog.)

I've been busy at least.

One of my friends roped me into doing Las Vegas's 48 Hour Film Fest. I got to write out a scene and ended up having a great time. We even won best actress at the award ceremony! I graduated for film so it was nice to be back around cameras and actors/crew. We'll see if I still enjoy it after the next two film festivals. That's right. My friend signed me up for the 49 Hour Film Fest and Desert Waves. It's always no time, no sleep, go go go, which I don't mind, but I am looking forward to decompressing and working on a project of my own with some time spent on preproduction. The goal? Do two short films a year, two projects that I can work on start to finish and have a released and done product/film. I think it's an attainable goal. 

The first of the two film festivals kicks off in four days. Wish me luck.

Short Stories

  My name is Denis Baldwin (for those who care). I've always had a passion for storytelling and have been writing stories in some form or another since I was in first grade. Who knows, those childhood stories might be worth exploring as children's books later. For now, I'm working on getting a manuscript published and have been writing short stories (and a second manuscript) in the mean time. Below is a link to Reedsy and the short stories I've entered there for their writing contests. I like the idea of a weekly contest since it allows me to have fresh ideas--or use one's I haven't gotten around to yet--and keep consistent with my writing. Hope you enjoy!

Marching Along

 Greetings! We're cruising along through the first quarter of the year, and let me say, it has been a doozy for the world over. Everything that I've invested myself in as far as a career, hobby/entertainment, and any personal interests, have seemingly taken an uppercut from uncertainty and left me rudderless at sea. Do I care to explain? Sure.     Like many creative types I grew up inside of my imagination and projected what I saw in my head out into the world but either actively daydreaming or writing/videoing/capturing the stories or plots that played out uninterrupted. As a kid, I never envisioned turning my imagination into a business or monetizing it, because, well, I was a kid .  Why would I? After a series of ups and downs over the years (I.E. see life)  I've circled back to my passions and am still enjoying them as a hobby, but have been making strides to also profiting off of my unpaid work. Here's where it gets complicated: The want or need or desire t...

New Year Updates

 Greetings readers, Happy New Year! Behind the scenes I've been steady at work finishing up a number of projects that I'll be ready to release by the middle/third quarter of this year. I'm working on a professional/personal website to merge the two sides of my life into an accessible/public forum. When it goes live you'll be able to listen to a podcast/audio diary that I've been working on for the last year. (It's out there on the internet but is currently anonymous and not being advertised. I'm up to about 50 something episodes and will link it accordingly when I'm ready as well as read/listen to a short autobiography introducing myself. On the professional side I'll have a number of my short stories uploaded, ones that have been in writing contests and a few rough drafts that I thought were fun and want to share. You'll also be able to read about current projects I'm working on like a feature length script witha writing partner of mine and ...
