Pen to Popcorn

There's a story in it.


I was born with a love for stories.  On paper and on
screen, I believe a good story can make us laugh, cry...
make us think or...throw things.


Anything can have a story in it:  poems, songs, fiction,
and nonfiction. If it stirs up emotion in us, then
there's a story in it.


Inspired by the cinematic fiction style of the authors
Dashiell Hammett and Flannery O'Connor, I try to
bring that "screen feeling" to my stories.


The results of this venture is what I've coined
"screenfixx." It's screenplay fiction written in the form
of a script, but it still retains the hallmark of fiction.


You read the story as if you are viewing a movie.
It is meant to be fast moving and gives you glimpses of imagery.
Dialogue is clipped for movement too.
This format gives you a lot of story in a little space.
Likewise, previews are written in the feel of a movie preview.

I'm a firm believer that the best way to enjoy any story
is in your comfy zone complete with snacks by your side
and your imagination opened wide.


Here's to living a million lives through colorful words.


Cheers!
