Steal my script was inspired by the one, true Jonathon Coulton, who, back in 2005 started his own "thing a week" ritual.  Basically, he wrote and recorded a new song every week.  Then he became super famous and people like John Kellogg Hodgman rode the coattails of his success all the way to infamy.

May we have done unto ourselves as has been done unto others.

Steal my script is a similar venture.  Except it's not singing, it's screenwriting.  And I'm not writing a feature length screenplay a week.  That would be madness.  Nor am I writing a short every week.  This still isn't my full time job.

I'm writing a scene, or a sequence if you will, and sometimes a short.

Every week.

I'm trying to craft a script that tells a story, with a beginning, middle and end, that is engaging, enjoyable, full of interesting characters and of course, well written.  I'm writing a scene or a sequence that goes into the story, even if it doesn't tell an entire story.

I write.

So what's the big deal?

As far as the actual writing is concerned, there really is no big deal.  I'm just a screenwriter, writing stories.  I don't expect an avalanche of fanfare.  I don't expect accolades.  I don't expect free cocaine and hookers.  

Expectations aside, there are some dreams that I have.  Dreams that involve an unknown and unseen audience.  Maybe two long lost high school buddies, maybe a quadrant of twitter followers, maybe even a gaggle of facebook friends.  Readers, writers and dreamers alike.  

Enter into a conversation with me.  Read the script then lay it on me.  Be your own Carson Reeves.  If that is your real name.
