Moving forward

Well I've moved forward a bit though not as fast as I'd like to.
I think I need to remember that this will not be like my creative writing experiences nor will it be like my structured free writing experiences.
This is a totally new thing for me.
I'm rereading Bone Game for the umpti whatever time but this time I'm trying to make careful notes. I have to decide what stays and what goes.
In the book I'm using as a guide for this it says that once you adapt it's yours....while that may be true for this book and this author I want to stay as close to and faithful to the original as possible.
I know, I'm probably asking for a LOT of grey hair but hey that's what God invented hair color for LOL.

That's all for now.

"Tell then how I am Defying Gravity! I'm flying high and Defying Gravity, and soon I'll match them in renound! And nobody in all of Oz, no Wizard that there is or was. Is ever gonna BRING ME DOWN!

Books

I've been reading the book I'm going to try to adapt, but I've found two others as well.
I got on today.
How to Adapt Anything inot a Screenplay.
I'm hopeing the second one will come any day.

Characters

Well so far I've decided that my cast of characters will be as follows:

Cole McCurtain
Abby McCurtain
Venancio (Painted Gambler)
Robert Malin (Combined Robert Malin and Paul Kantner)
Alex Yazzie
Onatima Blue Wood
Luther Cole
Hoey McCurtain (Combined Hoey McCurtain and Robert Jim)

I'm busy taking notes on the book so I can decide what to leave and what to discard

About Me

Welp, where to start.



I supposed I could start with the usual.

Name, age ,occupation, family blah blah blah.

But I don't just want this to be about me....well that's a lie cause it's my blog so of course it going to be about me.

But I want it to be about more.



You see I'm writing a screen play. Well, more like attempted to adapt my favorite book into a screen play. And I want it to be about my progress as I attempt to teach myself.

I also want feed back from those that might be in the same place I am or that have gone before and have made it or failed. I want to learn.



I'll caution...dream killers are NOT I repeat NOT welcome. I've had enough of them in my life to fill a stadium and I quite frankly don't want anymore.



Well I guess that's it for my first blog except to say welcome to my ride. Please keep all hands and feet inside the car till the ride comes to a complete stop and thanks for stopping by.
