I've started roughing out Shattered Guardian, focusing on dialogue and character conflict. The logical extension is to start by writing a #screenplay. :)

Fountain (https://fountain.io/) syntax for screenwriting is handy for this, and Screenplain (https://screenplain.com) takes my plaintext and converts to HTML or Final Draft Pro format.

@MissSnarkerson Thanks.

I should mention that I didn't go to school for this, and know bugger-all about screenwriting. I'm just using the format to rough out the story via dialogue and sketched action.
