Society of Southwestern Authors’ April 15, 2012 Forum
Playwright Dorothy Daniels Anderson
NO TAME HOUSE-CAT WOMAN
Recently at a writing workshop, the question was raised: I want to take a play of mine and turn it into a novel, what do I need to know to do this? Words, character, creation, layering, creating the arc of a plot, these are the basic tools of any writer. But what are the necessary changes needed to transform a written piece from one medium to another?

I’m not a newbie, most of you will maybe know me already. I shut off my old account several months back, partly because I felt I was spending too much time here, but as it happens I was still reviewing the websites every second, and spending just as much time lurking here as I did posting.
