Comic Strip 68 - Why his agent is enjoying the strike (Short Story) - 3/20/2008 11:04:00 AM
Stephen, I enjoyed this and other comics you have done along with Ledhed. My favorite part of any newspaper is the comic section--the part of the paper where everything rings most true. Thanks for the laugh.

Stephen~
Funny strip, but in real life, it's not funny having ADD. I have it. Have had it since I was small; I get easily distracted, and if someone tells me to do more than one thing at a time, I lose all concentration, and I end up blowing up in frustration. Not good, for anyone around me, or me, especially since I have health problems! Still all and all, a good strip; you are really good at these!
See you in the funny papers!

Seems like Studio Stan has been busy; I will have to catch up on his adventures. (Been in the hospital, but am now home and doing much better. :) ) Great story as always, Stephen! Well done!

Screenwriters -- Stop Writing Screenplays Now! (Article) - 10/28/2011 1:28:27 AM
I would like to write for films but since I live in Ireland, LA would be a long way to go. Maybe I could get work in London or Belfast? At the moment I work as a cleaner but write in my free time. Last June I was in Miami and seen a lot of film-making going on! It would be cool to make a movie.

Stephen -
Thanks for your article on screenwriting -
As a newbie screenwriter, trying to adapt a novel into a screenplay, I have been working to honor the spirit of the novel, and to visualize the the actions/dialog as it would appear onscreen.
As in all writing you do need good representation to pitch your goods.
What seems so frustrating is to give birth to the screenplay and then the control is out of your hands and others can distort your blood sweat and tears into something you don't recognise anymore!
Double edged sword.
Thanks for a lot to think about -

True about big business. Try nothing and keep churning out reruns with different names. The publishing houses from what I gather do the same thing. Breaking into the business be it Hollywood or Publishing Houses is more about politics then good writing. Thank you, DL Mullan

Refreshing article. Great. I've been out in LA for 7 years, and I too have had various meetings at Nick, Fox, MTV, and the like. You'r right about the adaptation of preexisting work. Not too innovative out here in LALA-Land. So keep up the good work. I just write ad copy now , mostly but am still coming up with ideas.

Thank you for the article. It is good to point out the realities of the business. My parents knew many, many people in this business over the years; and though some tried to get me to write screenplays, I consistently replied, "Hell no," for the very reasons you have stated. Kudos for continuing to live your dream. I hope that your star shines because I would love to see more well-written films make it. Meantime, I will be out struggling over how to transmogrify a book into a theme park ride. I'm thinking square cars, lots of upside-down logic, and bad grammar that pops out of the shadows in a tunnel. Any takers? Thanks again.
