I started the screenplay last night. I forgot how fast it goes when you use the Screen writing program. I use Celtx- it's great.
It's interesting re-writing the first scene of my story in script-form. The five pages were essentially the scene I posted a few weeks ago- Nina, at the bar, leaving with John.
It felt so thin- so weird. I think this whole conversion to screenplay could be a good excersise for the book itself. I believe it's going to force me to make this story more succinct, and really focus on the scenes that matter.
I'm not sure the opening is as strong as it could be. I'm trying to figure out an inciting event that will launch this story.
So, in case you are wondering, no, I'm not writing this screenplay with any serious intent to make a film- it's just a great way to keep brain cranking on the story that I love.
