“Unlocking the Secrets: Transform Your Screenplay into a Gripping Novel with Expert Joe Cornet!”
Joe Cornet
Okay, well, writing a screenplay for me is, I always say, I have a huge vinyl record collection. Huge. And I listen to music all the time. And I will sit there and I will make my notes and I will listen to things, specific things, whether that’s film soundtracks or classical or whatever, anything. And I will get ideas. And once I get the music in my head, the screenplay just writes itself because my process on a screenplay is figure out the beginning, figure out the end, and then connect the two. And that works for me. And on a thing like that, I don’t have any specific hours, but I tend to, on a script, I tend to write for some reason, write longer hours because it sort of, I know how to put it all together. Now with a novel or fiction, it’s a different process. And I do have disciplines that I follow where, okay, I’m in the middle of this writing this book of fiction. Let’s have our morning coffee and let’s sit at my work desk, take my notes out, make more notes, and then just start typing. And I work for about three hours, then I’ll take a break, and then I’ll come back in the afternoon and I’ll work another three, four hours more sometimes. And it’s a different process because when I’m doing a book, I found I like to have quiet as opposed to the screenplay. And maybe because I’m envisioning the visual of a movie and I like the backdrop of music. And I will often have music on when I’m writing my scripts. But with this, I like quiet. I like to be locked into my office here, completely quiet and not disturbed, and that’s the way I like to write fiction.
