Still writing I promise!

Posted on June 19, 2011 by margie

I know there has been a long period of silence on Marglish.com.  It’s due to no other reason but life and laziness.  Fortunately, it hasn’t overtaken every aspect of my creative self.  I’ve just had a new article published on The Story Department.

Check it out here: Write Your World

There is more to come in the series also.  So now my nose will be to the grindstone of article writing.  Hopefully I’ll be back to my pensive rants at some point soon.  In the meantime I’ll keep you all on top of my other works.  Speaking of which, while you’re here why not also check out the new preview for one of the short films I designed.

Passengers of 7D

There will be more goodies where those came from, so stay tuned!

A thrill ride in a shopping trolley

Posted on May 7, 2011 by margie

My activity on Marglish has been a bit hushed lately, but that’s because I have been dedicating my literary shouts to create another soon to be blockbuster film. Through cross-country skype chats with my very first writing partner, Ethan Marrell, we have created. . .

Disassembly Required

Logline: Enticed by a big payday, an ex-military bounty hunter compromises his family’s waning stability when he agrees to return an escaped experimental super-soldier who has taken hostages inside a local IKEA.

In other words, Die Hard in an IKEA.  What do you think?  You can read more of a summary and some excerpts on the Disassembly Required website.

Feel free to share your comments here, as it’s a work in progress and we’d love to get some feedback on our efforts.  What other parts of an IKEA would you like to see blown to smithereens?  Have you ever made a creative trap out of your flat packed items? Who would you cast as our lead?

Stay tuned for future drafts and more news about our creative endeavors.

“The Well” The title scene

Posted on April 2, 2011 by margie

It’s been far too long since I shared some new scenes from my in process screenplay, The Well, with my loyal Marglish readers.  Of course, the extreme lack of comments, as politely requested, suggests that you all may have missed the previous two entires.

Lucky for you, I have these convenient links right here:

The Well – Page 1

The Well – Pages 2-10

For your reading pleasure, I’ve decided to post the next 7 pages.  Those pages also happen to contain the ever controversial “title scene.”  Screenwriters occasionally seem to find incorporating the title of a film gracefully into the screenplay, to be a nearly impossible task.  We’ve all seen just as many groan worthy attempts as we have winners.  Remember all of these?

So give my pages a read and let me know how you think I did.  Graceful or groan worthy?  Of course, a really good title contains several meanings.  So what else do you think “The Well” could possibly mean?  I’ll be looking forward to those comments. Hint hint.

The Well – Pages 11-17
