Esperanza (adapted screenplay) DONE!!! Next edits/rewrites, beta readers, more edits/rewrites. Completing any writing project is an amazing feat, this one is very special to me. It took me 10 years to complete Esperanza novel always with the vision and intention to get it made into a movie. One step closer. Finding a window of time to focus and write an adapted screenplay since publishing Esperanza in 2017 hasn’t been easy. This past month was my window. It took a lot of perseverance, patience, and passion to turn a 565 page book in 120 pages screenplay literally killing my baby (killing characters, sub plots, and making slight plot changes). As difficult and challenging this feat was it was liberating. Can’t wait to see Esperanza on the big screen. #adaption #adaptable #screenplay #script #screenwriter #screenwriters #writerscommunity #writerslife #writer #writersofinstagram ##author #authorsofinstagram #film #movies #booksofinstagram #story #storytelling #write #illegalimmigration #usmexicoborder #love #passion #words #motivation @rodriguez #indiefilm #indiewriter #indiewriters #indiesuthor #indieauthors #frombooktomovie
Esperanza adapted screenplay, 2/3 completed. Adaptability is not only an essential virtue to possess but also a key element to utilize with writing. It’s better to be mutable like water than solid like a rock. Being able to constantly change and transform to best fit in and live in any environment is more powerful than showing brute strength. This adaption of Esperanza I’ve been beating out has been challenging but magical when going with the tides and flow of writing (killing my baby, Esperanza the novel) In order to transform it into something new to best fit its new environment. Can’t wait to share this when completed and see it on the big screen. Lots of interest from the film industry so far. #adaptation #adaptable #screenplay #script #screenwriter #writerscommunity #writerslife #writer #writersofinstagram #author #authorsofinstagram #film #movies #bookshelf #booksofinstagram #story #storytelling #write #love #passion #words #motivation #inspiration #quotes
