SHEENA COOPER, Trev’s mum is a 53 year old Irish catholic. She is heading towards her garden gate carrying supermarket shopping bags. Sheena 57 lost her husband Jimmy 17 years ago. She is with Cheryl who is carrying one clearly visible MISS SELFRIDGE BAG.

Well he did say two to three weeks.
CHERYL(Concerned)
Yeah but it’s been three now, mum. You should ring him.
SHEENA
I don’t like to bother them, love, you know what I’m like.

TREV
Morning girls, been shopping have we?
Trev looks at the bags being carried.
SHEENA
Hello Trevor love.
TREV(Concerned)
Hey mum don’t carry all them bags yourself… let Miss selfish here carry em.
Cheryl gives a forced sarcastic smile.
TREV (to SHEENA)

Keep up the work my man. I look forward to reading the finished product.
Screenwriting is a pain. If you don’t have some software to do the formatting for you, get some.
It makes writing much easier.
If you can’t afford to buy one, there are a few open source ones for Windows and OSX, but I can’t vouch for how good they are.
I’m doing a similar project on my blog following th exercises outlined in another of Syd’s books, “The Screenwriters Workshop.”
Check it out.

Cheers.
