****Bill Johnson’s screenplay SWEET DREAMS is #197 in the never-ending series called INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION where the Chris Rice Cooper Blog (CRC) focuses on one specific excerpt from a fiction genre and how that fiction writer wrote that specific excerpt.  All INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION links are at the end of this piece

Name of screenplay? And were there other names you considered that you would like to share with us? Sweet Dreams. When I discovered the name had already been used I considered changing it, but I also found the title echoing around me in unexpected places, rather like the universe was telling me to keep the title. So I did. I just finished a play that went from Trials of Dark Hearts, to Winning the Trials of Dark Hearts, to The Trials and Tribulations of Sad Clowns. I got to clowns from a phrase a character uses.

What is the date you began writing this screenplay and the date when you completely finished the piece of fiction?  November of 2001, March of 2002. This is an old script, but my favorite of all I wrote or was hired to work on.

Where did you do most of your writing? And please describe in detail.  I'm a night writer, feeling most creative after 10 pm.        I'm also a streak writer.   

        

          When I was in my early twenties I did bellows breathing 3-4 hours a day for a year. I discovered I'm on an 11 week cycle. It starts on a high that lasts about a week, then several semi highs of about a week each, then slowly drops to a low point where my body and brain feel out of sync and nerves are irritated.

I felt most creative during my high. During semi-highs I focused more on writing and rewriting. As I dropped toward my low, I focus on editing.

      When I hit the low, I go out for a good meal and a massage. When I was hired to do script work, working with others ideas made it easier for me to get into a creative flow. I did some work for a Hollywood actor Neal McDonough and was an editor for screenwriter Billy Snowden, and worked for a local low budget producer Tom Shaw who hired me to write a script and do location scouting and testing of film stock.

What were your writing habits while writing this screenplay - did you drink something as you wrote, listen to music, write in pen and paper, directly on laptop; specific time of day? I came of age writing fiction in long hand, but by the time I got to screenwriting and working with and for others, I became comfortable working on a computer with a screenwriting program.

       

          Before I began writing screenplays, I wrote and directed scripts for industrial and some corporate video. I once had to write a script, shoot some footage, and get a short video edited in 24 hours for an Olympics proposal on a tight deadline, on the day a long term relationship ended.         I also wrote and had some full length plays produced. Those were mostly written long hand. Through a theater group, I became an editor for a screenwriter who had just sold a script to Columbia.

        

          When I wrote for others, I typically wrote during the day. When I wrote for myself, I typically did most of my creative work in the evening.                                         During this time I rented an office so I had a quiet working environment. Over the Christmas holidays, I could work until 2-3 am and then sleep in the office.                      

     

          The low budget film producer I worked for let me crash in his studio for 15 months while I was putting together the material for A Story is a Promise.                                       When I was younger, I fueled on donuts and diet soda and sometimes cheap Chinese. Now I fuel on salads and caffeine free soda or water with lemon.                                                                              What is the summary of your screenplay? A meek FBI agent is bringing over Russian women to take on the identity of his dead wife. The first five who didn't work out he keeps in a basement freezer. 

         

          The 6th potential wife is on her way to the US when a Russian hooker courier steals her identity but finds herself locked in the FBI agent's basement. When she escapes, the FBI agent struggles to figure out how to recapture the woman who was to be the replacement for his dead wife. Complications ensue and multiply until every character is trying to cross through to a place where they can have their sweet dreams fulfilled.

Please include just one excerpt. This one excerpt can be as short or as long as you prefer. I lost my formatting when I did a copy and paste, so I just did a quick reformat in Word.

INT. AMERICA/TOM HAWKING’S HOUSE - DAY

 

Sitting before an altar, TOM HAWKING lights some candles.  He is young thirties, neat. 

                                            TOM                              

I know I will never be able to really replace you, but I had to try. 

His altar is composed of various photos of his dead wife, KATE HAWKING, who bears a striking resemblance to Katrina. Strings of small Christmas lights twinkle around various pictures of Tom and Kate, obviously in love with the idea of themselves. 

                                            TOM 

 I promise you, our great love will survive. 

Christmas lights twinkle in Tom’s tear-glistened eyes. 

INT. RUSSIAN MATING/DATING SERVICE - DAY

A old, short Russian MATCHMAKER walks down a hallway with OLGA, a timid blonde who, like Katrina, has a resemblance to Kate Hawking. 

                                            MATCHMAKER                             

Take care of his needs, he’ll be good to you. 

A door along the hall opens. Sleazy music comes out. Several clumsy young girls are being taught to be strippers. The Matchmaker hurriedly closes the door as Olga blushes. 

                                            OLGA                              

I’m not going to... 

                                            MATCHMAKER                              

That’s got nothing to do with you.  

Katrina appears at the end of the hall. She nods. The Matchmaker nods at Katrina, who disappears. 

                                            OLGA                              

I do want to be able to please him. 

                                            MATCHMAKER                              

That’s easy. Even if he’s ugly and hung like a string bean, pretend he’s a Hollywood movie star like Abbot and Costello. 

                                            OLGA                              

Yes, Mother. 

                                            MATCHMAKER                             

 And don’t call me Mother, god dammit. Shit can the damn religion for a few weeks. 

                                            OLGA                             

 Shyte cane the religion. Yes, Mother. 

The Matchmaker rolls her eyes. 

                                            MATCHMAKER                              

Look, you’re young and pretty, but there’s no life for you here. Just stick with this guy for a year. Then you can get your green card and be free. 

The old Matchmaker reaches out to open a door with hands crippled by arthritis.

Why is this excerpt so emotional for you as a writer to write? And can you describe your own emotional experience of writing this specific excerpt? *and humor is one of many emotions. I think it's easy to lock on to the emotions a relationship in the past created and to try and recreate that feeling with a new partner. This black humor script takes that idea to an odd, strange conclusion. There's also the idea that we can create a new life for ourselves if we go to a new place. 

           I once wrote a novel (The Combat Poets of Maya) while sleeping in the storage space of a restaurant that had a poetry and theater night.                                            Returning to Sweet Dreams, I teach that a story creates movement and that movement transports a reader or audience. When I wrote this script, the underlying mechanics of the story is that as each character takes one step toward what they believe will be the fulfillment of a dream, the one step of another character knocks their dream one further step away. So as each character keeps taking an additional, realistic step forward, every character ends up in a twilight zone.

        

          I thought writing a script as pure movement without plot points would impress some of the people I pitched. They assumed I didn't know what plot points were and that was that. I later figured out a way to pitch the script with conventional plot points, but one person who read the script suggested ways I could make the script conventional.  I had to accept that my dark comedy doesn't work for some people. It has worked better in my short plays that have been produced around the US, England, and Mexico.

Were there any deletions from this excerpt that you can share with us? And can you please include a photo of your marked-up rough drafts of this excerpt. This script is from too far back for me to have edits, but I'm currently working on a new play that is nearing a final draft. I'll include a few of those pages.                                  

          When I write a draft, I'm trying to get down the bones of the story. This script started as a 15 page short, that I'm rewriting to a 30 page one act. So I'm really expanding the script. When I write a new script, that's my goal, just get down the bones. I couldn't work with a writer who wrote a first draft, did a few edits, and the script was done.     

A sad tale of woe about edits, I'd done a rewrite on a script for a Hollywood actor that worked through some of his notes. When I was done I was in a creative high, so I started a new script. When I wrote a script, I'd put a draft on my hard drive and a copy on a floppy.

         

          When I started a new script, the script program I was using gave it the same name as the actor's script. Since I'd done so many writes on that script, I'd cleaned out all my recycling and it was taken away. Then I found out that script program had overwritten my new draft of that script on the floppy and my hard drive. It was lost. I could never find the thread of how I'd resolved various issues in the rewrite. The actor assumed I was blowing him off.

Has this screenplay been made into a film? And if NOT which actors would you like to portray your characters in this screenplay? Back when I wrote Sweet Dreams, I saw Tom Hanks (Above Right) as the FBI agent and Samuel L Jackson (Above Left) as a hitman trying to track down Katrina, the courier from Russia.

How many pages? What does that equate to how long the film would be?  100 pages. I figured a minute a page. An old aol address. That brings back memories. I used to post some of my insights on storytelling in the screenwriter area, until a new moderator announced that no one could post anything that would offend a child.                                       A guy (Above Right: Josh Olson) who went by BadCog wrote the script for the movie A History of Violence.

     

          Besides working on the play, I'm trying to see if I can use meditation techniques to tap into a more universal state of creative energy. What the poet Walt Whitman (Right) referred to as 'God licked my brain.' I figure it will take meditating three hours a day for a year to see what happen
