For Burns, a 22-year resident of La Grange, that meant developing a unique process where he writes a screenplay first that he then adapts and fleshes out as a novel.
“It is completely different,” he said, “but it works for me.”
Burns said a screenplay's simplified structure helps him to see if it makes sense to expand the story into a book.
The story is also ready to film should Hollywood come calling.
“By the sheer process (of turning a novel into a screenplay), you have to make cuts, and a lot of times the essence changes because so much is cut,” he said. “People who read the book, in this case it will be what you read.”
