What’s going on with the book?
UPDATE
The book has turned into a play and a short script for children. That’s done, whew, so I’ll be reconfiguring the website. I plan to turn it into more of a portfolio site. Thanks for everyone’s help. Stay tuned for the next episode of “Just a few words among friends”

For the past 8 weeks, I’ve been workshopping this novel in a screenwriting class. The crossover isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. The teacher, Alan Glazen, had the class write a short story. From there, we’ve gone to a treatment and, ultimately, to a script.
The process of clarifying characters, creating a character web, and continuously re-examining everything from theme to word choice has dissolved my writer’s block. I have a much better handle on the direction of the story. I still haven’t decided whether it’s going to be a novel, or something else.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. I’ve contacted some of you privately with a draft of the short story. Your suggestions are appreciated. Others of you will hear from me soon.
Yes, I know. I’ve used the generic headline from wordpress.com, but hey, it’s working for me.
