Colin Thompson, a debut novelist, discusses his journey from screenwriting to writing his novel 'THE SPOILS'. He emphasizes the challenges of transitioning from scripts to novels and the creative freedom that novels provide. Inspired by his experiences in Hollywood and the limitations he faced with traditional screenplays, Thompson embarked on novel writing to tell the deeper stories he had within him. His work explores themes of self-loathing, decision-making, and the quest for success, culminating in surprising and impactful conclusions.
"After living in Los Angeles and writing scripts for a decade, I desperately needed to step outside the sterile box of screenwriting and the shackles of the FINAL DRAFT software."
"The story I wanted to write did not fit snugly into a 90-110 page script, so I decided to write a novel, something I'd always wanted to do."
