yesthattomI finally finished that screenwriting workshop I took. I learned a lot from it. I don’t think I’m ready to quit my job and move to Hollywood, but it was interesting to get a feeling for what fiction writing is like. Publishing four non-fiction books does not mean I an write fiction at all.
The 11-page script I wrote can be found as a PDF here:

The first part is very much like the opening to an episode of “E.R.” However, after that it becomes a totally different thing... which is why it sucks. I need to pick one or the other.
If I pick the first, then it would take it out of the hospital and put it somewhere like the CIA or FBI. Maybe it would be a show staring two people like Chloe and Edgar from the TV series “24”. They were always serious but had a hint of humor about them (which makes sense since the Mary Lynn Rajskub who plays Chloe has a background in stand-up comedy). However, no matter what I do I don’t want to fall into the trap of portraying IT workers as rude jerks or stupid idiots.
Please read it and tell me how awesome I am. (j/k)
