Chicken Soup my short story/screenplay thing is now ready to be purchased through Amazon for the low, low price of 1 dollar and no cents.
Chicken Soup originally started out as a comic book or a "graphic novel" for the bookstore crowd but I was never able to get an artist for it. So after much time passed, I thought of the idea of making it into a novel and I did. It was completed and finished at about 300 pages. Before moving forward with it I asked some friends to read it to get some feedback. None of the comments was good.
Even though my friends and I were in an agreement that as a novel writer I sucked. I still felt that somewhere deep inside all the words was still a good story to tell. After much thinking I realized that it was silly of me to try to write a novel. I asked myself, "How many actual books have I read?" the answer could be counted on two hands and a foot. "...but how many movies have I seen?" Once this revelation hit me I started to research on how to make a Screenplay.
Once I learned the most basic of format I was off to re-work Chicken Soup the novel into Chicken Soup the screenplay. To do this I had to eliminate, delete and destroy absolutely everything that was unnecessary and keep only the essential. The process was absolutely brutal, it was like punching puppies and kittens at the same time. But after many, many drafts the screenplay is now complete and ready "fingers crossed" for public consumption.

First Entry
I just re-submitted a screenplay to Amazon Studios. http://studios.amazon.com/projects/2786 It follows the story of professional womanizer Charles Dickins who learns the hard way that "what goes around, comes around." One night after unknowingly sleeping with the physical embodiment of women scorned, Charles wakes up to find his man parts missing. With the anatomy of a Ken Doll, Charles joins fellow victims Thomas, Aquarius Hung Lo and their spirit guide Wilt Chamberlain to get back what was once theirs. The Hangover+The Wizard of Oz=Crotch-Tastrophe!
