Novellas
I started writing screenplays in college, but eventually grew tired of the unpublishable nature of the medium. So after experimenting with the graphic novel medium, I set out to write a story of unspecified length, just based on what I wanted to write about. This project was inspired by elements of a couple of my old screenplays, combined in new ways. It would become my first novella: "Scar Tissue."
Through "Scar Tissue," I fell in love with writing novellas. They are short and punchy like a screenplay, but the prose allows for a more fleshed-out interior life for the main character(s). I followed "Scar Tissue" up with "Summers in a Sinking Town" – a story outline that I had drafted with my brother Dan years before. I had also written a song version of "Summers in a Sinking Town," but for the sake of spoilers you won't find it in the Poetry/Lyrics section of this site (at least not yet). Currently I'm adapting an old screenplay I wrote called "Coach" into my third novella, and I'm so excited to share each of these projects with you all.
