Book Synopsis
College English senior Ramen Noodle (Ray) wants to make a name for himself as a screenwriter more than anything in the world. Unfortunately, he's got a long way to go. He gave up a football scholarship and decided to support himself and his education at Orleans University by working as a bartender in the French Quarter. Not to mention he's failing his capstone screenwriting course. But after enduring a recurring nightmare about a possessed, murdering cannibal who dresses like an alligator and terrorizes a rural Louisiana church parish, Ray has fresh material for a new horror movie. The dream is so real that he begins to have difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality. Does he love his French-speaking girlfriend, or the bombshell of his imagination? When things finally begin to look up, he has to figure out what he's willing to sacrifice in order to achieve his dream. Unless it's already too late ...
Review Quotes
"Reading Dream of Writing: An Original Screenplay, it is clear that Gregory Fischer truly loves cinema. Throughout the script, there are many references to classic works like Citizen Kane and E.T., as well as an understanding of how the moviemaking machine works . . . The writing is pleasantly descriptive, making this flow as nicely as a novel would, and the multiple inserts of songs that would play during the actual film add a nice touch." - Nicolò Grasso, Reedsy Discovery
