I spent the last couple of months creating a brand new website. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do, and tell me what you think. https://josephrhea.com
A year of work writing a combined screenplay and novella in my (very rare) spare time, and both are now finally completed: Rogue Wave (book) is now live worldwide: $6.99 paperback, $2.99 ebook, or Free in KindleUnlimited. For the screenplay, see links on my website. Beneath an alien ocean lies humanity's last hope!
Long ago I switched from writing screenplays to writing novels because I believed that I needed "absolute full control" of my creations. Now, as I ease back into the Screenwriting world, I'm reminded that unless you're literally a genius, or figuratively an idiot, everything you create will be a group effort. Beta readers, editors, and friends will all influence and sometimes drastically alter your final product. And that will make it better. Accept that. Embrace that.
Today I finished writing my "lean" draft, which is the direct "prose translation" of my "Rogue Wave" feature screenplay. Next I will start writing the true novella by filling in scene descriptions, adding character thoughts when appropriate, and beefing up the sparse script dialogue when needed. Very glad I finally stopped dragging my heels and started adapting this.
