- Screenwriters, not novelists, are the storytellers of our time.
- The huge majority of their stories go untold because the movies go unmade.
- There should be another vehicle for their stories.
- More and more reading takes place on smart phones and tablets.
- These devices are not verbosity friendly -- easier to read "vertical writing."
- Twitter presents a new minimalist rhetoric for our time.
- Recasting screenplays into vertical prose in a form looking more like traditional fiction than a screenplay, would satisfy 3 above and be less minimalist than tweets, therefore less extreme seeming.
- Hence, Stories In Overdrive.
Wish me luck.
