Writing: Turning Content Into a Narrative
I'm a big believer in building a narrative, then reaping the benefits of deeper engagement of your target audience.

Current Project: Taking a Swing at a Baseball Screenplay
Baseball was a huge part of my life growing up. From playing with friends in vacant lot almost daily, to suiting up for the hometown Little League team, to buying trading cards by the box in hopes of snagging that elusive Gregg Jefferies rookie card, the game was so enjoyable and has left me with many, many fond memories.
In 1989, I had the idea that adding that Jefferies rookie card to my collection would leave me set for life. After all, at that time, the trading card industry was a lot healthier than it seems to be now. But who am I kidding, industry woes or not, Jefferies never panned out to be anything more than a solid role player. Would I want him on my team? Yes, absolutely. Did his rookie card put me through college? Absolutely not.
So, here I am today, trying to figure out ways to make up for that lost fortunate I was so determined to find in my vast baseball card collection, and I find myself still thinking baseball. Through the help of killer media pre-production software from Celtx, I’m knee deep in a screenplay about youth baseball. It’s been a wonderful time of writing, reflecting and dreaming the same dreams I had as a kid.
Stay tuned. Coming soon (well, eventually, I hope) to a big screen near you…
