🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Steven Rowley
Six months after his dog died of cancer, he wrote what later became the first chapter of “Lily and the Octopus” as a short story to help process his grief. He never expected it would go anywhere, but just doing what other writers often do by putting his feelings down on the paper to get them out of his head and heart. He shared his story with his boyfriend, who encouraged him to continue writing. When he chose to write it as a book, he removed his screenwriter’s cap and just jumped into the medium entirely, and it was fully freeing. Not once was he considering how expensive something would be to build, or how hard it would be to cast, or just impossible to film. His only limits were those imposed on him by his own imagination.
