I’ve read a few books about screenwriting. According to these books, a screenwriter should turn circumstances upside down here and there to keep the story from getting too dull.
I stopped watching Hollywood movies in the 90s because I expected terrible plots and character development.
One of our goals at this project is to offer you a True story; A story that doesn’t rely on cheap tricks.
Napoleon offers to protect France from the invading foreign forces. The French elite say “No”, they’d rather hand France over to their enemies. Sound familiar?
We recently finished: With Napoleon in Russia. Now we’re reading the memoirs of Napoleon’s Valet Marchand from their time together all over Europe and at St. Helena.
Then I will read the Memoirs of Hortense Bonaparte. All three writers of these memoirs are considered exceptionally honest. All three essentially lived with Napoleon. Then I plan to read Napoleon’s letters to Josephine. You will see that Napoleon is the same person in all of these accounts. I’m doing this because I believe this is important and that our whole present world-in-crisis comes out of this True story.

Eventually, after writing 6+ books, I finally, after much anguish, gave up. Want to know what the last straw was? The day I opened up Entertainment Weekly and they were announcing Pamela Anderson’s big new book deal. How could I ever compete with Pamela Anderson as a writer?
Here we explore the biggest writer of our time - a person who possesses talent but brings the masses one disgusting nightmare after another. I have a relative who is a big fan of this writer. He is so depressed, it’s heart breaking. Coincidence or by design?
