Conflict is the motivating force behind a good screenplay. Conflict drives this writer to continue telling her story. One cold day in January , 2010 in the Tarrytown Post Office, a chance meeting inspired me to take an obscure character in my story, and make him my lead. And in six short months, a story I had been struggling with since 2000, literally and remarkably wrote itself in six short months.
A recent interview sent me back to include a vital aspect of the tangled web. Threading the story line throughout while maintaining conflict to its logical conclusion or resolution is a challenge. Well. This has been a an incredible journey. I’ve grown fond of my main characters. Next week for beTter or for worse, . Sending this out to the person who was the catalyst, making my screenplay come to life. No guts no glory!
