Help...

[jenncrew01]

I need to pick a short story(10-15 pages or so) to write a screenplay adaptation for. And I really just have no idea where to start.

So if any of you have any ideas, either a specific story or even just an author. I am pretty much open to anything. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know how easy it would be, but I ADORE The Giving Tree...I think that's pretty short, too.

hmmmm...Joyce Carol Oates has some cool short stories. If you want to go a more classic route, try James Joyce or Edgar Allan Poe.

Hehehe, Megan somehow I just knew that you would be a wealth of information!! Thanks. I just found a pretty short easy one "Luck" by Mark Twain. And that is what I am going into class with today, but when I get some more time to look again I will check that site out! Miss ya!
