When the novels start to drag and they seem kind of dinasourial I always fall back onto writing a screenplay. Why not? They are shorter and the form seems more up todate for our twittering short attention span getting every shorter society. Why not write a movie and while I'm at it why don't I win an Oscar? Hey I see those authors coming down the aisle to claim their Oscar. I can do that. Just let me get up there and trundle on down and I even have my speech ready.
I would just like to thank everyone who supported me through my years of struggle, my wife, kids, friends, and I would just like to tell whoever out there who is thinking about being a writer...go for it! And then I would leave the stage after walking the wrong way, corrected by the beautiful woman. I mean there is a lot of precedent here. Fitzgerald and Faulkner wrote for the movies. Do I need better company than that? And you know what...they pay!
So...all I have to do is download a template and start rolling. Yeah. That's what I'll do. Write that screenplay and just pitch away to the powers that be. Now. I need a plot. Hmmm. I know I'll just use my own books. Perfect. Now...now....fade in...yeah, fade in to a... man. Maybe a woman. Ha. No problem....just fade in to something and then fade out. Yeah....maybe I'll do that. Yeah...write a screenplay. Cecil B Demills of the literary world. Sure.
