There's a story in it.

I was born with a love for stories. On paper and on screen, I believe a good story can make us laugh, cry...make us think or...throw things. Anything can have a story in it: poems, songs fiction, and nonfiction. If it stirs up emotion in us, then there's a story in it.

Inspired by the cinematic fiction style of the authors Dashiell Hammett and Flannery O'Connor, I've sought to bring that "screen feeling" to my stories. The results of this venture is what I've coined "screenfixx." It's screenplay fiction written in the form of a script, but it still retains the hallmark of fiction.

I'm a firm believer that the best way to enjoy any story is in your comfy zone complete with snacks by your side and your imagination opened wide.

Here's to living a million lives through colorful words.

Cheers!

Screenfixx fiction

By Varonda Dickerson




Would you have dinner with me?

JESSICA

You mean like...a date?

Jessica swallows nervously.

JASON

No. I mean dinner.

Jessica gives another short laugh. She cocks her head and looks at him in wonderment.

JESSICA

You realize I'm married, right?

JASON

You've been reminding me ever since you walked in that door, but if you ask me, a wedding ring doesn't have anything to do with eating with a friend.

JESSICA

Have you lost your mind, Jason?

JASON

Not that I can recall.

JESSICA

You're Matthew's best friend.

JASON

Does that mean you'd say no?
