Congratulations Alexis! :) I don't know anything about script writing, but this was crisp and clear. Everything kept my interest and I also could picture everything in my head as I read along. So, awesome job!

Thank you, Shana! Yes, it is a bit strange to write a script, but I'm getting used to it. As it turns out, it's fairly easy to convert the book because I had a lot of dialogue, and not a lot of POV. I might even change the ending (again!) for the screen version, who knows.

Wow! So happy for you. This is really exciting news! I think this First Act is great. I cannot believe that the landlord did this to you. What a complete jerk! It's one thing to sell the place out from under you, but to make you homeless too, that is an all new low.

It's early days, but it's easier than I thought it would be. It's a case of 'less is more' With only 90 A4 pages to work with (a page a minute movie wise) There's no room for extra frills!

Alexis, you did a fine job writing this script. The opening is quite a shocker, and I can't wait to read more. It was enough of a hit to have the hotel stolen out from under them and to top it all of Colin has collapsed with what looks like a heart attack.

This has always been the difficult part of the book because I had to show how desperate the women were to start working for a chat line, and why. Hopefully, the humour later on is enough of a contrast!

Hey there sweetie pie
For your first attempt at screen play, you have done superbly well. My son-in-law write screen plays and he told me he has a program that sets it up very well. Without it his works would suck eggs. I look forward to the gang getting back soon

Yes, I managed to download one free of charge. Not only that, but there are thousands of scripts you can download free of charge, so you can see different styles and techniques. It was hard work to start with, but I'm beginning to enjoy it!

Congratulations! When your movie comes out, you'll have to let me know. Colin and Laura's dilemma is totally believable. It's easy to imagine someone sleazy taking advantage of the trusting couple.

Believe me, IF it comes out, and that's a big if, I'll be shouting it from the rooftops! Sadly, this is exactly what happened to my husband and I nine years ago, the only difference being it wasn't until three years later my husband suddenly passed away. I'm sorry to say, the version I've written here is actually a lot kinder than what really happened, and my husband never got over it. This is one of the reasons I'm determined to get it turned into a movie. He can't tell the world what our horrible landlord and that disgusting couple did to us, but I can.

Comment from Jay Squires
For this being your first attempt, you've done a marvelous job. You do know they have screenwriting programs, don't you, where everything is pre-set to the correct spacing specs, etc. I think you just click on a name and it pre-fills the spot. I don't believe they're that expensive, either.
Our son Paul can take over when we're ready to retire. [Might want to consider leaving out the son's name. In the course of a conversation with a stranger it wouldn't likely be thrown in.]
Again, great job. will it be a different plot-line than the novel we've been reading?

Thank you, Jay. Good point about the son's name. I've now removed it. Yes, slightly different plot line, but the girl's funny antics will be the same.

So this was how Colin dies, I thought this was a really good script Alexis, I've read a few, and this has been done masterfully and well, I started reading your series part way in so I wasn't aware how Colin fitted in, but I do now, I will enjoy the script writing. So could you find someone to help with script writing? But I did think this was pretty good, well done, blessings, Roy.
Spag: Colin steps toward Grant teeth completely (barred) bared?

Sadly, it was easy to right because this is exactly what happened to my husband and I nine years ago, although it was three years later that my husband literally dropped dead in my arms. Maybe that's the reason I ended up turning this into a comedy. The reality was one of the most horrifying experiences either of us had ever endured. Maybe you can understand why I would love this to be turned into a film!
