Part 2 of the spec script (so far) of my 5-10 min suspense film. As before there is still a long way to go before this is finished, but I wanted to show all the revisions that can be made on only the second draft of something even this small. 

Feel free to tell me what you think.

 Part 1 of the spec script (so far) for my 5-10 minute short suspense film. I wanted to show the third second version with all my revisions. Even something this small can be revised this much. There are still numerous mistakes I need to fix before the filming deadline.

Science Flash Fiction

Flash fiction is a story that in usually 1500 words or less. I wrote a science fiction one recently. Enjoy. (I dunno how to tumblr)

Turn of Fortune

Zeta Station, a huge hub of budding businesses and the start of new beginnings in a galaxy known as the Amalgam System. Many people come here to get away from their mundane life and attempt to start anew. Many people who come here end up in the Hollow, the slums, where gangs run rampant and do what they can to scrape by, all while trying to prevent any new buildings from kicking them out of the last place they have. Recently, Rhombus Group began expanding their business and needed more space and the Hollow was the perfect space. Nothing but abandoned projects and wasted space. They knew though that the destitute lived there, and they couldn't just outright eradicate them, no they needed something a little more under the radar than that. That's where I come in. I've always wanted a life full of adventure and working for them has given me that. They've sent me all over space, so a little mission on their home turf was a little different than I was expecting, but money is money, and I sure do love a full pocket. The mission was simple. Go to the Hollow and get rid of any trash cluttering the streets. I descended into the Hollow and switched off my radio. I wouldn't want anyone hacking into my link. I readied my blaster and set it to lethal, even I knew whatever was down here was tougher than most things. We've affectionally named them Space Goblins, and they look like something you'd see in those old Lord of the something or other movies. Creepy bastards. After a few moments I made my way down an ally and into a maintenance hallway. Flickering lights above me and an eerier quiet ahead. Littered on the ground are boxes with who knows what inside, it wasn't important enough to search and probably not worth anything. I started to feel like trouble was lurking as I affixed my flashlight to my blaster and looked on, one corridor to the east. This place was in dire need of renovation. Metal floor tiles covered in some sort of multicolored liquid, bundles of wires protruding from the walls and ceiling, what a mess. I moved ahead a few more yards and turned into a common room, scattered about were more cardboard boxes and on the far side, what looked like some sort of command center. I could hear some scratching coming from the boxes and I steadied my blaster and waited. The scratching stopped and I held my breath, all was still. Suddenly from behind the command center a woman popped up and fired a shot in my direction. A miss, lucky me. After that three of those damned space goblins popped from the boxes with their own little guns and began firing. By that time, I was already behind cover and I had just the thing for this occasion. The only cover I had was the doorway and I couldn't expect them to run after me in a one-person wide hallway, they'd be sitting ducks. I hated to use it here, but it looked like I had no other option. I reached into my side pack and pulled out my last plasma grenade. I felt the weight of it in my hand and pressed the timer. I already had visual and chucked it into the room. I heard a harmonic scream and a splatter then, complete silence once again. Not one to take chances I steadied my blaster and turned the corner. The three space goblins, or at least what was left of them splattered across the room. The woman however, she was leaning against the command center, shaking. I leveled my blaster at her with a smirk. "Wait, I surrender." She said, raising her hand. Usually I'd just execute on sight, she did try to kill me, but something told me to let this one go. Let's call it my conscience. "Make it worth my while" I replied matter-of-factly. She reached into her jacket pocket and stopped. "Not reaching for a gun," she started, "Here take this" she said as she pulled out a data journal with just a few text files in it. "Miranda huh?" I asked as I relaxed my blaster. "Yeah, and do I get to know the name of the man who nearly disintegrated me?" "Tristan" I said as I scrolled through the files. In it, some of the files for a few new buildings Rhombus Group was planning, and further down a plot to try and stop them. "This is a bad plan, this map is old, that corridor is so locked up you wouldn't even get two steps in." I explained. "But If you had a man on the inside, you could set charges anywhere in the place and get to their vault, lots of tech there." "Dammit. I was told that this was up to date" I ignored her comment and turned on my communicator. I could hear an audible gulp from her throat. "Barton here." "Ah Mr.Barton," a voiced sounded. "Pleasure to hear your voice. I take it you've taken care of all the trash in the area?" I looked towards Miranda a look of concern growing on her face. "Yeah, it's all compacted, heading home." "Excellent, you'll find the funds already transferred to your account." "Pleasure doing business with you, as always." With that I put my communicator back on silent mode and holstered my blaster. I handed the data journal back to Miranda and helped her get back to her feet. "As I said, you'll need a man on the inside." "And just like that you're gonna help me out? What's the catch?" "I'm bored of this place, and Rhombus Group. I'm not a good guy, but I'm not evil, but they are. They ruin lives and I want to take them out too, then get the hell out of dodge. We'll split the profits, 65/35. Fair?" I held my hand out for her to shake. Reluctantly she took my hand and shook. "I really couldn't say no regardless of the amount you're giving me, since, you know, I'm not dead and all". "Let's go take down a galactic corporation" This was going to be a fun new adventure, if we could pull it off. With my share of the profits, I decided I'd stay on a spa ship for at least a ye

NaNoWriMo-Day2

Mary Dictionary Page 2. (I’ll have another page tonight to catch up to the day)

Mary delicately picked up her fork and knife to eat her pancakes. They had just the right amount of syrup on them. As always, they tasted how she imagined a cloud would taste. A cloud covered in blueberries and syrup that is. The thought always made her giggle in delight.

Just as Mary was finishing her pancakes the phone rang in the other mom. Her mother went to answer it as Mary took her plate to the sink to rinse it off. Mary sang a rhyme her mother taught her for cleaning her plate. “Wash the dishes, wipe the dishes, rinse them clean. Scrub scrub scrub till it shines and gleams!” she repeated the rhyme until she was satisfied with how clean it was.

When she was finished her mom came back into the room. “Oh! You washed your plate and everything! Awesome job!” she said giving Mary a high five. “I just got off the phone with someone very important, and mom has to go and get them, but guess what? Veronica is coming over to play until I get back!”

Mary looked excited. She loved Veronica. “We always go on the best adventures” Mary cheered. Today they wouldn’t be wasted any time since her room was all cleaned up and her dishes were too. They would be able to get right to their adventure.

“Go get changed, she’ll be here before you know it”

“She’ll be here swiftly you mean” Mary responded wanting to use another new word.

“That’s right!”

Mary swiftly went to her room to change into her adventuring clothes. Her bright red shirt so people could see her if it got a little dark, her overalls so she could have pockets for treasure and her best running shoes, because you never know when you’ll need to run from a monster. Of course, no adventure would be complete without her backpack, where her dictionary lived.

NaNoWriMo-Day 1

Mary Dictionary’s Curious Cases

I was a little late on day one but here it is. I’m not aiming to “win” NaNoWriMo, I’m just setting my goal of writing my children’s book that I’ve been wanting to write.

Word Count: 442

Word Goal: 400

Every Saturday morning at exactly ten o’clock eight year old Mary Evans opened her dictionary to a random page to learn a new word. It was her favorite thing to do in the whole world. She flicked through the pages of her book listening as each page flapped one after the other until resting early in the book. She at the top left of the page to see what lucky letter she would pick. “G” she said.

She closed her eyes and placed her finger at the top of the page. “I will use my same method” she said out loud using a word she had just learned. 

She traced the edge of the page until she was satisfied she had come to a word she had never seen before. She opened her eyes to reveal her finger was lined up with the word grotesque. “Gro...te..s..que” she sounded the word out. “Gro...te...sque.” She tried again, “Oh!” she exclaimed figuring out how to do it, “Grow-tah-s-q, grotesque!” she gave herself a pat on the back finally figuring out the word.

Of course her ritual was not complete until she learned what the word meant, “Very ugly or comically repulsive?” She questioned herself since one of the words was something she had never seen before, but she knew it was probably close to the word she had just learned. 

She closed her dictionary and stretched. Her desk was always tidy, which she knew meant clean and organized, so her notebook was always where it was supposed to be. She opened it to the next clean page and jotted down her notes on the word grotesque and placed her notebook, dictionary and favorite pencil into her backpack resting on the back of the chair.

“Mary breakfast is ready”, a voice called from the door. Mary’s mother had peeked in to tell her the news. 

“I hope it is not grotesque”, Mary exclaimed proudly with her hands on her hips. “In fact I’m sure it’s as delectable as always mom” Mary knew delectable meant the same as really yummy since she learned that word a whole ago. 

“Oh I don’t know if I know that word Mary.” Her mother played, “How do you say that word with the d in it?” 

“It’s pronounced De..le..cah...table, then you put it all together fast to make it one word, delectable” she explained.

“Delectable, got it! Thank you Mary”

“You’re welcome mom” 

Mary scooped her backpack and placed it over her shoulder then followed her mom to the dining room where Mary’s favorite breakfast waited for her. Blueberry pancakes.

Most writers fret over developing characters and getting down to every last detail, but what about introducing them?

The introduction of a character is the reader’s first impression of who this character is. If this character is important, you’ll want to make it stick out to the reader.

What to Avoid:

Queerness: If you introduce a queer character, forget the queer part. Ignore it during introductions unless absolutely necessary. Showing that a character is queer during the introduction creates a bias in the reader. Some readers nitpick queer characters and examine every detail to make sure the author didn’t screw it up. Establish this character first. Paranorman did this beautifully with one of their characters. It was the absolute last thing the viewer learned, after the film explored the character in all other ways available. However, you don’t have to wait until the very end. You can introduce this whenever you want, just make sure it’s not the absolute first thing you mention about a character’s life.

Appearance for a POV Character: The first thing you introduce about a POV character should not be his or her appearance unless it’s relevant. For example, if your character is in a jail cell during the 1700’s, you could describe his long beard or thinness to show poor conditions and neglect. But when do you introduce appearance? Well that’s the beauty of writing. Unlike a film, your reader cannot see everything. You are in charge of opening this world to your reader. Describe the appearance whenever you want, preferably after your reader has a little insight on the personality of the character, but don’t wait too long to do so. Give your reader at least a little bit of information in the beginning.

The Mirror: When introducing a main character for the love of everything do not make them look in some sort of reflective surface. It’s lazy and it’s overdone, especially in first person POV. A way you can use this without being cliche is if the character is looking at something specifically like an injury.

All at Once: Don’t reveal everything about your character at once, including character traits and appearance. Do this gradually, to keep the character fresh in the mind of the reader. If you info dump, the reader may have to go back to keep track of what characters look like.

More Than One: Be careful when introducing two characters at the same time. I can’t recall how many books I’ve read in which the main character meets up with two friends and says nothing more than what they look like and the fact that they both like the same hobby. It’s hard to tell these types of characters apart and it just becomes annoying when the author tries to introduce more than two characters at the same time. If you need to introduce more than one character at the same time, try giving some time between them. Even just a couple minutes will do.

First Pages: Don’t introduce all your characters within the first few pages. It gets messy and disorganized.

Back Story: Don’t introduce a character with tons of back story. Save that for later. The reader does not care about the back story yet and it’s too much information for them to hold at once. Readers needs to know the character before they are able to attach a back story to a face.

Too Many Names: 

“Hello, Mary.”

“Where are you going, Joe?”

“The pizza came, George.”

“I’m not going, Hannah.”

Avoid writing a bunch of dialogue like that at the beginning. Some of it can flow naturally, but keep it to a minimum and reveal names within the narration. Don’t wait forever to reveal a person’s name though. Doing it once is okay, but when you’ve got a larger cast it can be difficult to keep track of who is who.

Exceptions:

Of course, these are not rules and there are exceptions. For example, in Brave New World, a person’s appearance gave hints to where they stood in society and thus giving a person’s height upon introduction was useful.

How to Introduce a Memorable Character:

When introducing a memorable character, try to think about who that character is. 30 Rock is a great example. During the first episode, one of the characters makes his introduction by literally kicking down a door in a casual manner. The behavior fit the character perfectly, as the watcher learns as the show reveals more about that character.

Characters should be introduced in their natural habitat. Again, using Paranorman as an example, the main characters are shown in ways that help define them. The main character is first shown talking to a ghost because he is able to see the dead. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark opens with Indy on one of his many archaeological journeys/treasure hunts and shows just how bad ass he is. Basically, you should introduce the major aspects of your character first and get on to the details later. You want to hook the reader with characters instead of starting out quietly.

How to Introduce Other Characters:

When you introduce any character, you should not think of them as something that has not existed before the page. Force the mindset that your characters existed before the story began. They already have mannerisms and voices that have been developed. You’re just focusing on one part of their lives. Therefore, it’s not really an introduction. You’re basically taking a picture of one time period of a person’s life. That picture is just a small part of what your characters are and what you see in that picture is what you get in an introduction.

You also need to introduce the motive, especially for the main character. This doesn’t have to be the main motive, but your character should want something. The reader needs to root for this character from the beginning to keep reading.

Once you’ve introduced your character, you have to keep that introduction consistent. It can’t be all dramatic at first and then die down for the rest of the story.

Summary of What to Introduce:

A motive, large or small.

A little bit of the appearance.

A behavior or a character in action.

Hints of personality (both good and bad qualities).

The reason the reader should care about this character.

Basics (name, age, gender, etc. (if applicable)).
