Howlingween 3: Red River County

LATEST NEWS. Today (27 December 2024) I have completed revising Howlingween 3: Red River County. About three dozen errors have been spotted and corrected and several inconsistencies discovered and ironed out. The telling of the story has never been better. If you have read Howlingween 3: Red River County before, reading it again will make even better sense due to the corrections and increased consistency of story and character.

LATEST NEWS. Today (27 December 2024) I have completed revising Howlingween 3: Red River County. About three dozen errors have been spotted and corrected and several inconsistencies discovered and ironed out. The telling of the story has never been better. If you have read Howlingween 3: Red River County before, reading it again will make even better sense due to the corrections and increased consistency of story and character.

During the holiday season, I'm looking to revise all my 12 screenplays and the one TV/streaming pilot. So far, Howlingween and Howlingween 2: Clarry the Clown have undergone revision. All revisions, where necessary, update elements of the story to be true for today's (2024-cum-2025) world.

The next up for revision is Howlingween 4: Beastly Mist. Of the five Howlingween stories, this one is my weakest. See if I can improve it significantly.

MY STORY AS A SCREENWRITER

I became a hobbyist screenwriter in 2007 when I purchased version 7 of Final Draft. I’ve since completed 12 screenplays and one TV/streaming pilot.

My 13 scripts (in alphabetical order) are:

Counterchance (“Sometimes bad things happen”);

Glorious Revolution (“Unintended consequences writ-large”);

Howlingween (“A road trip to hell”) REVISED 24/12/2024;

Howlingween 2: Clarry the Clown (“Island paradise of horror”) REVISED 25/12/2024;

Howlingween 3: Red River County (“Unforgiving beggar”) REVISED 27/12/2024;

Howlingween 4: Beastly Mist (“Insect sprays won’t work on these flying mites”);

Howlingween 5: Trip Along (“A child’s dream is another’s real-life nightmare”);

Kuga’s Way (pilot) (“An intelligent canine becomes involved in human affairs”);

On Board (“A traditional who-done-it mystery”); REWRITTEN FOR 2024 and beyond.

Once Young (“Love-struck teenagers”);

Splendid Isolation (“Pioneering life in an un-mapped Alaskan town”);

Twelve Less (“Teenagers in life-threatening trouble”);

We Were Young Once (“Weren’t we all?”).

My latest screenplay is Howlingween 5: Trip Along, which was written in mid-2023. All other 11 screenplays have been rewritten during a five-month period in mid 2023.

Kuga’s Way (pilot) is my most recent work and is my first attempt at writing a TV/streaming pilot. It was completed in October 2023.

Currently I have half-a-dozen projects in the works. All started, but none are easy to continue writing them; it's a struggle to move forward their storylines. It's always a worry to lose that creative spark (even if it's — hopefully — temporary), so I'm glad, for the next few weeks, to commit myself to providing revisions of all my completed scripts, which I'm enjoying doing as I can see things clearer now than I did then when I wrote their last drafts. The act of reconnecting to my stories is itself a satisfyingly wonderful experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read my brief biography as a screenwriter.
