Screenplays

Maintaining a narrative flow over a long writing cycle is a real challenge. Many people who want to write but never complete anything substantial simply lack the discipline it takes to stick with a subject hour after hour, day after day until the work is done.

I’ve struggled with developing that kind of discipline, but I’ve been able to produce many longer form works and have many more in the making.

Given my background in film, much of my longer form content has been screenplays. I’ve written many, they have been positively reviewed and often led to work as a screenwriter, as detailed on my film work page. Given how many periods I’ve covered in my scripts, I’ve maintained that a person could get a damned fine education in US history just be reading my unproduced screenplays!
