The Best Laid Plans of Writers...

[mmerriam]

My plan is to turn my novella "The Horror at Cold Springs" into a screenplay, just as soon as I teach myself how to properly format a script.

I like this idea. I think it would be the perfect story to translate into a script like that. I look forward to reading your posts as to how you go about it. :)

Have you considered screenwriting software? Sometimes, there are some good sales on it.

There are a few free programs, too, I think.

I downloaded Celtx. It looks useful and was free.

If you're interested in screenwriting books, Save the Cat is the best EVER! Also, Tom Lazarus has a couple of good screenwriting books. (These are the ones I found the most useful, and I took a couple of classes under the authors.)

Would you consider talking to fellow Meetup-er Roy C. Booth? He offered to do a script of one of my stories.

Just a thought.

One of my plans is to sit down ad talk with Roy the next time he is on the cities.
