"Putting on the Game Face"
My Blog Sig

This blog is a doorway into the mind of Percy Goodfellow. Don't be shocked at the lost boys of Namby-Pamby Land and the women they cavort with. Watch as his caricatures blunder about the space between audacious hope and the wake-up calls of tomorrow. Behold their scrawl on the CRT, like graffitti on a subway wall. Examine it through your own lens...Step up my friends, and separate the pepper from the rat poop. Welcome to my abode...the armpit of yesterday, the blinking of an eye and a plank to the edge of Eternity.

Note: This blog is my journal. I've no interest in persuading anyone to adopt my views. What I write is whatever happens to interest me when I start pounding the keys.

For those of you who suffer from "Writer's Cramp" go to my port and go down the folders until you reach the one titled PANDORA.

Inside you'll find a file which is an explanation and example of how to convert novel prose to screen play.

I point this out because it's a useful technique not only for translating your writing from one mode to another but because it has an added benefit. It forces a writer to go from telling to showing. In my view "Telling" a story to begin with is fine and if that is the best way for you to get it down on paper (word processor) then by all means go for it and don't worry about too much telling and too little showing. Then when you finish, go ahead and translate it into screenplay. Once you have done this you can later convert it again back to novel prose, which makes blending the two much easier to express.
