So, almost a year ago, I entered a one-act play competition at the Fine Arts Association here in town. (Spoiler: I didn't win.) It had to be a ten-page script, set in one location that you could do on a tight budget. With those things in mind, and probably some others, I went up to Panera, my preferred writing spot, and knocked out a play. Over lunch. Is it the greatest thing in the world? I'm sure it's not. But looking back, it's still fun. I really want to write something Sorkin-esque, and this certainly does pay some homages there. I love sparkling dialogue. Since it won't be produced, I think it's about time it gets out to the world at large. So, if you want to read it, download it here.
And while it didn't win, the script and my story of writing it as I ate a Turkey Cranberry Flatbread did lead to my association with Brian Ward and Team Slushpile for the 48-Hour Film Competitions. So I definitely won something out of it!
