20 Miles to Texas #OriginalFiction #Script #Snippet

Packy - Head Llama

*** Brief introduction from the author – I have been, in some capacity working on this screenplay for quite a while. “20 Miles to Texas” is a horror script concept that deals directly with irrational fear and how each individual reacts differently to the idea of fear, which ultimately allows it to manifest in a way that is tailored specifically to the person experiencing it. The idea was to write a script that jettisoned the 90’s tradition of a slasher story that involved a cast of around 6 obnoxious teens where…

Packy - Head Llama

I have a decision to make. A rather tough one. I have 2 ideas that I am outlining for the upcoming NaNoWriMo event in November. Both are sound ideas, but in the immortal words of the Highlander, “there can be only one!” At least there can be only one that I use as my NaNoWriMo novel. In case you missed my other post on the matter, or this is your first time reading my blog, I will be participating in the NaNoWriMo event this year. What is NaNoWriMo? According to…
