The title explains it all. Today was the first time that I have posted an actual screenplay in a place where someone else can read it. Now that I have this blog, a Wordpress page about screenwriting, and an actual writing available for viewing, I feel that I have truly taken the first necessary steps towards a productive journey into the world of screenwriting.
The screenplay that I "published" was the first thing that I technically wrote on this computer. I had downloaded a template for Office that would allow me to properly format screenplays. So I started writing, with no particular plot in mind. I just wanted to get a feel for the template. The story sort of developed on its own, and over time,I tweaked it into a 7 page short.
The story is basically about a writer in his 70's and his barking dog. The plot thickens after a heated discussion with his newspaper boy. Part sci-fi I suppose, the story can be interpreted in any number of ways. After reading it a few times, I found it to be somewhat allegorical, at least in terms of man's relationship with the world he thought he knew. I'm not gonna say any more about it for now.
If you would like to read it, here is the link to the story known as, "OLD NEWS."
Please let me know truthfully what you think of it. If it sucks, I would like to know. If you think it can go somewhere, tell me where!
