Automobile emergencies have stolen some of my morning posting time away from me so today’s posting will be brief.

I have decided as an experiment and practice to do something I have not done in quite a while, write a screenplay.

I used to primarily think of myself as a screenplay writer. Films are a passion of mine and if you have read Vulcan’s Forge you can see that passion represented in the plotting of the novel. While I haven’t sold a screenplay, I have written and co-written a few and I find the form to fun to work with. For the last several months I have been listening to the podcast Scriptnotes and I am exciting to incorporate some of the things I have learned about screen writing.

So, this week I started a screenplay with no intention of selling it. To keep from spinning wheels, I decided that the best form of this experiment is to adapt my novel Vulcan’s Forge. It should be fun.
