Hello Stranger

I finished a screenplay. Not this week, exactly. The file says draft four, so it’s been a long road. But this is the week I’m saying it out loud.

Of course, by the time you read this, I might be on draft five. I keep trying to shape the marble into a statue. What’s the line? Art is never finished, only abandoned.

It’s called Hello Stranger. A guy who runs a comic shop in a small town gets one unexpected night with the girl he never got over, eleven years later. That’s all I’ll give you here. It’s based on a short story I wrote a long time ago, which I felt might be better suited as a movie.

Maybe it becomes something, maybe it just lives on my hard drive. Right now, it exists, which is a pretty great feeling. I’m rather proud of it.

What’s next? I really don’t know.
