Today, I began my 10-week screenwriting course.
Henceforth, I’ll be very busy in the next few months and beyond.
That said, I have learned a lot on the first day already.
Unfortunately, I learned that I will not be able to keep most of the novel’s material for the screenplay (85 pages to 120 pages for a beginning screenwriter).
However, I could adapt my book to a TV miniseries (10 episodes – 10 screenplays). Thus, I would then be able to keep most of my novel’s material.
Decisions, decisions, decisions….
A New York University professorial colleague is right that I need to get signed to an agent. Until then, I have to manage the “show” and the “business” aspects of this journey.

Exciting News!
A New York City Department of Education’ (NYC DOE) committee approved Afrika’s Struggle: His Experiential Journey as a textbook.
NYC DOE is the largest market in the United States of America. (For comparison, the Chicago Department of Education is the second largest market in the United States of America). Additionally, it is a very difficult market to access due to its rigorous and arduous vetting/application process.

On President’s Day, in Manhattan, I met with interested parties as it pertains to bringing my book, Afrika’s Struggle: His Experiential Journey to film.
Keeping in tune with Black History month, later in the afternoon, I watched I Am Not Your Negro at the Film Society of the Lincoln Center. I highly recommend everyone to see it. The documentary offers you different perspectives on James Baldwin and other contemporary luminaries of his time.
Afterward, I had dinner at Chez Josephine in Times Square. Chez Josephine was founded by one of the legendary Josephine Baker’s adopted sons. The food, the ambiance, the service, the live band music (French Jazz) and the vibes were “fantastique.”
