Writing Life: Short Story BEAUTIFUL FORMS Named Quarter-Finalist in ScreenCraft's Cinematic Short Story Contest
Many, many thanks to ScreenCraft for recognizing my short story BEAUTIFUL FORMS — selected from over 1,400 submissions — in this remarkable competition, which looks at how cinematic a prose short story can be.
Before I started writing scripts, I was writing a lot of short stories, which over time became more interconnected and emerged as a collection of short stories entitled BEAUTIFUL FORMS AND OTHER STORIES. The title story from that collection is what I ended up submitting here — it’s a dark fairy tale about perception, parental wish fulfillment, and horror.
