15 Days

My dad wrote a little short story a couple weeks ago and I thought it'd make a strong short script (and be really easy to adapt -- all I did was change the formatting!)

So I spent a couple hours re-formatting, showed it to him, and then sent it off to a couple places asking for short scripts. 15 days later and a director now wants to make it.

It took me five years! I'd call my dad a bastard, but I think that might backfire on me in some way.

Bro that stinks. Or maybe you are just better at formatting now than you used to be?

I need to put him to work writing something longer!

I always thought your dad was a good writer. Who woulda thunk it would take 40 years for is ambitions to be realized! Maybe you can use him for a reference now.
