Here's the first page from one of my WIPs, called Requiem For An Assassin. lt's a character tragedy cleverly disguised as an action thriller.

Before feeling grumpy it took me this long to get home, I need to remember it used to take six months by boat

Aftermath 29 October. We’re on the north coast of Jamaica, east of Montego Bay

After 13 hours we’ve been asked to congregate in the lobby. Rumor is, they’re checking for room damage and will release some of us to go back

The main power went out a few hours ago, so we’re using generators. The A/C pulls too much power so it’s off

The staff are keeping us far from windows. I’m sure it’s mostly for safety, but also so we won’t get scared. We can get only glimpses

4:30pm on 28 October

Lobby next door is leaking, more people in hallways as side rooms are getting small leaks. People are calm.

Screenwriters, what are your file naming conventions?

Depending on the needs of the production, I usually bounce between version numbers (v1, v2.5, v3.2.4.111, etc) or dates (Cheers ep706 060925).

What I never ever ever write is "final".
For three reasons.
