I have spent the last 10 days writing the rough draft to my first screenplay.
After a week at the webinars studying the basics of screenwriting and reading various forms of movies, I decided to give it a shot. I wanted to see where the pages took me.
At the moment, I'm at page 34 of the film version of Picking Cotton. I chose Cotton because it was my first book to get contracted and rewritten twice. Here's the link to it... http://redrosepublishing.com/books/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=100&products_id=1070
Since I'm new to this, I opted on a short film version. A film of 30-45 minutes (A TV film with commercials) is usually 45-50 pages. After I complete the screenplay, I'll put it on the shelf for a month.
That is all......

I can't wait to see what happens when you submit it. Good luck, K.T.
Sounds like you're moving right along. Looking forward to seeing it on TV.
Sandy, I expect a critique person will slice it....but Pretty Woman was rewritten four times...
I'm not sure which medium it would go to Joanne. A publisher friend knows someone at Lifetime TV....
Very awesome! I look forward to watching it!
I was at a local RWA meeting yesterday about screenwriting. It sounds like a great opportunity. I wish you much luck!!
Screenwriting is a lot different from writing e-books. I'll see where I am when I get the nerve and have someone read it
