Studio Daniel - My Blog for Kids' and Teens' Screenplays and Short Stories

 

Back when I was still writing ebooks I realized that you have to separate your stories into works for grown-ups and other works for kids by using pen names. I guess it makes sense. I remember how crazy my niece was about Judy Blume books when she was little. She was asking her grandma to buy her a Judy Blume book called Wifey. I said, "Oh, no! Don't buy her THAT book!" I had read excerpts from it, and knew it was totally inappropriate for my niece. Honestly, I was in my 20s and I felt like it was inappropriate for me, too! LOL

Even in screenwriting, people like to put you into a box. I'm not going to use a pen name, since I need to keep everything as legal as possible, and Jean Daniel is my legal name. But I thought, at least I could separate my work and showcase it on two different blogs, this one, Retro Mysterious, is for my adult screenplays and short stories. My new blog, Studio Daniel, is for the scripts and short stories I write for teens and kids.

I love animation, and Anime, and I would die content if I could find a way to get even one of my scripts produced as an animated film. I know that is way out of the real of possibilities, but it's a dream that won't die.

Anyway, I think it'd be fun to make audio plays out of these scripts. I'm still working on a way to do that, though it seems more like a passing fancy than a real goal.

If you'd like to read synopses of my screenplays for teens and kids, you can see them here at STUDIO DANIEL.
