Strong Protagonist

Friday, May 23, 2008: The Different Flags screenplay is not at all like the book. In the novel, Ani, the 26 year old protagonist, is strong, but in the screenplay, she is stronger. This strenght does not come overnight. Through the changes she undergoes, Ani discovers the courage she never knew she had. Ani takes action. She reacts, but she acts. She does things, not only for her elderly aunt, but for her own life. She fights for the man she loves, even though he is a Catholic priest.

Writing

My name is Eugenia Renskoff. I love to write. I always write, every single day, no matter what. My novel Different Flags, received a very good review from the sormag reviewer as well as other reviewers. In spite of this, it has been impossible for me to find an agent. I have a couple of blogs (www.beccar.wordpress.com and www.mylifeinargentinaandbeyond.blogspirit.com). They may interest you. You have to be very persistent, very dedicated, because the writing life is not always easy. There are rewards, but they are not always in plain sight. Ask around for a literary agent. Ask a published writer friend, the friend of a friend, an acquaintance, your old college professor. Never give up. Eugenia Renskoff
