I have one fully formatted screenplay which I pitched around Hollywood 1 year and wrote a couple of plays in college. I have contributed and performed in many plays that were created by myself and others through improvisation and put into script form by others and have written many original songs, both lyrics and music for plays. I have a few pet ideas for stories and plays, but instead I keep writing little mini stories called songs. Last year I read Cormac McCarthy's Trilogy - the one that includes "All The Pretty Horses" and also his "No Country for Old Men" but haven't seen the movie yet - can't imagine it will be better. I think it's cool that J.D.Salinger has never given his books to the movies.

Oh, neat story my wife got acquainted with a woman through her work at Kaiser Permanente who is a mystery writer and has 2 or 3 published. She just quit her job because she got a 4 book deal and is co-writing with some woman who works with Bill O'Riley on Fox news - but they are to write crime detective stories. So maybe you should dust of those old manuscripts. {:-)
