Beginning Screenplay
I have been writing about the character of “Joline” since 1993 mostly through many, many poems. Earlier this year, I started on a screenplay that ties together real-life experiences, some people I have known, and a storyline that emerged from the poetry. In completing the outline and determining locations, a lot of it will be based in Alaska, and Haines in particular. Below is a photo form Haines that is providing am anchor for the beginning.
Haines, Alaska
It’s amazing how one thing we write can give birth to another. I wrote a silly poem once about a vampire and a princess, and many years later, I turned it into a fairy tale.
What an amazing place to anchor a story!!
Nice pun! But, it is definitely a wonderful place, a balance between nature and humans. I spent some time there in 2010 and it is my favorite city in Alaska. So far!
Fabulous view. xxx
