I once took a screenplay-writing course and found it very challenging. The two different styles (screenwriting and novel writing) can seem similar at first for those of us who really “see” our stories as we’re writing. They’re not, though, and it does seem like a good idea to stick with novel writing first and foremost, if that’s where one’s heart lies.

He’s written a lot of novels and screenplays as well as turning some of his own novels into screenplays.

He discussed why he chose to write the story of Butch Cassidy for the screen and not as a novel. That’s because he didn’t want to have to learn about technical things about the old west, such as how to ride a horse. He felt that for the screen he could get away with writing:

Butch mounted his horse and galloped off.

For the screen you certainly Show Don’t Tell.

Goldman also discussed how his novel Marathon Man posed a difficulty for him in translating it for the screen precisely because it was an introspective story.

Because of this book on screenwriting, Goldman has become revered by screenwriters everywhere. If for no other reason than he posits that no one in Hollywood knows anything. That studio executives especially do not know what will be a success.

It’s a great read. I highly recommend it.

For every film for which it works, there are ten for which it’s a disaster. Or as the old SAT would put it, VO:Film::Telling-not-showing:Prose
