Screenwriting 1.2 - Obtaining the Bible

I am 1/3 through the Mullen book, and it's an interesting process reading it and simultaneously visualizing how it could be scripted. I've put the Screenwriter's Bible on hold at Borders, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is helpful.

Research ideas (broad) so far:

Speakeasies
1930s outlaws
Bank robberies of the 1930s

Screenwriting 1.1 - The Beginning

Jesus Christ, was it ever painful to read posts to this blog. I've kept them up for your amusement.

So what am I doing blogging after a 18-month hiatus? I've decided to write a screenplay. I have some limited experience from 3 years ago, and I remember it being a fun exercise. We worked on a book adaptation, and I've decided to try it again. I've enlisted a friend to read along with me. I will be in charge of the majority of writing, and she will be storyboarding.

If you are interested in reading the book and suggesting ideas, feel free to do so. The book is The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers by Thomas Mullen.

Status update: Reading book in progress.

Mood: Extremely excited about starting on a creative endeavor.
