Gossie by olivier dunrea biography

3 February 2013:   Watched a fascinating documentary late last night: "Tales from the Script". NOW I have a much better idea as to why it's taking so long for the negotiations for film and tv rights to be sold!

I love getting a glimpse behind-the-scenes as to how other writers work or feel frustrated, struggle, succeed, etc.

As soon as I have finished the artwork for the Gossie & Friends series I'm going to try my hand at adapting one of my short stories as a screenplay.

This sweet story models social-emotional growth for the youngest children using simple language and adorable illustrations of baby farm animals.

Gossie and Friends is a gaggle of thirteen goslings who live on the Old Farm where they share adventures and friendships.

Olivier Dunrea is the creator of beautiful and well-loved children's books.

Olivier Dunrea is the creator of the bestselling Gossie and Friends series of books.

The middle child of four, Dunrea was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in , and grew up in a busy household full of siblings and pets.

THE KIDNAPPING OF THE BOY WITH RED HAIR (an interesting short story as to HOW and WHY Maol Rudha came to be in Moel Eyris) lends itself to this format and it will be an interesting exercise for me as a writer.

I have written (and performed) plays before but never tackled the odd format of a screenplay.

THE KIDNAPPING was written in 62 scenes and I think it should be fairly easy to rewrite these scenes as a screenplay and see how it reads.

This is The Year of Me Being a Writer!
