The Argument, Twitter Short Story by Paula Roscoe

Watch the 140 Character Short Story: The Argument

1) What is your very short story about?

My main genre for writing is anything supernatural, so it seemed fitting for that to be my subject. I visualised a man having an argument with his girlfriend, the twist is – she is dead!

2) What motivated you to write this story and submit it to the festival?

I cannot remember how I found out about this competition, but I thought writing a scene in 140 characters was a real challenge and I was up for that.

3) What movie have you seen the most in your life?

I watch a lot of movies. I am a real film buff and watched them again and again. My favourite film ever and one I have watched so many times I cannot count, is ‘Somewhere in Time’ with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, it is true supernatural love story. I even had the music play as I walked down the aisle, I love everything about it.

4) How many scripts and stories have you written?

I have written three award-winning novels so far, ‘Echoes’ ‘Freya’s Child’ and ‘Adventures of Faerie folk’. I am currently editing two more and working on ‘Echoes’ screenplay. Many years ago I wrote historical articles for a Welsh magazine. I have also had two short stories published in two Anthologies.

5) What artists would you love to work with?

I would love to work with the talented artist, Amanda Clark, for my faerie stories, but we’ll see. If I ever got ‘Echoes’ on the screen, I hope to work with many talented artists who know their stuff better than me!

6) What is your passion in life?

Writing is too obvious isn’t it, but it’s true! If I cannot write, it’s like asking me not to breathe. I have so many stories floating around in my head, it would be carnage if I stopped!

7) Any tips for other writers who want to write a 140 character short story?

Have a go – nothing to lose and it helps with your writing skills.
