John Biguenet told me: “Always look for ways to repackage your stories.” Martin Stitt said “You can’t fuck about. Write scripts as fast as you can.”

I’ve been writing this blog for 5 years. Haven’t we completed this fucking script yet?
Well, yes and no.
1We’ve written a feature script that essentially turned (award-winning) “Destiny lives Down the Road” (the short) into a feature. 2We wrote a science fiction after the BP Oil Spill. 3And, we’ve just completed the detailed Outline of a Southern Gothic Noir set between Bourbon Street and St. Bernard Parish. 4I think there was also an early draft of a Katrina script.
It’s funny, though. All of the work mentioned above and even including (the specially commended) “Mrs. Carmella Prays” and “Little Baby Eyes” and the Photo blogs and a lot of other work…all of that work sprang from an article I wrote for the Guardian the year after Hurricane Katrina.
But it goes back even further than that. As far back as 2002. But, that’s all too much to go into.
We work on the Noir daily. We are pushing to have a readable draft by the end of January. In February, we want to do another pass on the Science Fiction.
