So I’m reverse-engineering the screenplay I wrote a couple of years ago into a novel. It’s definitely an interesting process; a lot of the stuff that you sometimes put into fiction that you find yourself stripping out on the third or fourth read-through is already gone, or, I guess, was never there in the first place. It’s leaner and meaner than my usual writing style, depending more on the dialogue to get the characters’ personalities and the exposition across. I’m really digging it as of right now, between one-third and halfway done with the process, I think it has a more modern, even noir-ish vibe, at least for me.

Anyway, check out a chapter here, if you’d like.
