Local Author – In His Own Words YORK I would like to say that I always knew I wanted to be a writer… but I didn’t. Growing up in York, I was fortunate enough to experience many fun-filled summers there. So much so, that when I was 19, I decided to write a movie based on me and my friends. Long story short, I wrote about thirty pages, and it was so horrible that I lit it on fire (literally). Frustrated and disappointed in my lack of talent, I never wrote another word for 11 years.

They all took place in Maine, with four taking place right here in York. Unfortunately, 10 years and 9 screenplays later, although many close calls, I was still nowhere near seeing any of them turned into actual Hollywood movies. After exhausting every avenue and potential connection I could think of, the stark reality of never seeing my stories turned into movies sadly set in. At that point, I lost all motivation to continue, as well as the desire to write anything new. After months of “giving See CLARK page 12...
