It's short, very short, much like my first one, but we have to start somewhere, right? After 17 non-fiction books, writing a screenplay is WAY out of my comfort zone, but thanks to Maurice Vaughn and Writer Duet, I have a bit of a mojo going. I kind of like this format. Who knew? Anyway, just had to share. I will take another look at it after the weekend with fresh eyes. It's a story where a young boy meets his hockey hero. Yeah, I never wrote a kids book in my life and now I have two. What the hell has happened to me on this platform? Lol.

Maurice Vaughan You are the best. Now I'm chipping away at something a bit bigger for the next two screenplays. I think I've been bitten by some kind of writing bug.

Formatting is strange. I’ve written several novellas and short stories. Also wrote some screen plays. And the difference between them is night and day. You put in as much detail as possible in a book. But little to no detail in a script to convey the same tone. Madness I say!

"Now I'm chipping away at something a bit bigger for the next two screenplays." Are they going to be feature scripts, Debbie Elicksen?

Maurice Vaughan I still feel like a newborn at this. I have a couple of fiction stories I wrote a while back that I can flush out into perhaps a film. Because they are already there, it would be good practice to do that. I also have another more personalized fictional story that will be a bit tougher to write...which is the one I really am avoiding. To answer Geoff, the shorts might be one of those 5 to 7 minute fillers or segments.

Sounds great, Debbie Elicksen. I asked "Are you planning to write micro-budget feature scripts?" because there's a huge market for selling micro-budget feature scripts because they don't cost much to make.

Maurice Vaughan I plan to keep that in mind when I dive in. ;) Especially after seeing some of the Next Level Webinars that discuss it. Also who doesn't love El Mariachi?
I still have to see "El Mariachi," Debbie Elicksen, but I've heard great things about it.
You emailed me a WriterDuet link. Is that the script you wanted feedback on?

@mauricevaughan I think you might have already did that. :) For Jordan Meets His Hero? Your help on my other one was so amazing. You are my hero.

I think I did feedback for "Jordan Meets His Hero," Debbie Elicksen. Sorry, I've been working on so many projects, I don't remember if it was "Jordan Meets His Hero" for sure.
No, I'm not a hero. :)
