After a month of studying the basics of screenwriting, I embarked on the journey to put together a short film.
In its E-book format, Picking Cotton is a 289-page novel at Red Rose Publishing. I had the herculean task to break it down into 45 pages.
As we already know, movies are completely different from books. The E-book was mildly successful, but I changed a few things for the screen.
After I let the screenplay sit for a few weeks, I may go back and add something else. At the moment, I'm pleased with the movie's overall theme.
That is all, Happy Memorial Day.

Happy Memorial Day, K.T. Can't wait to see your screen play.
Happy Memorial Day! I just had a MMRWA meeting with two screenplay writers. It was very interesting to learn about how books and screenplays differ. I wish you all the best!
Good luck with selling it.
It'll be a while before you see it, Sandy. I've got to go through some stuff with Red Rose.....
Screenwriting and book writing are vastly different, Melissa. It was such a mental grind....
