Elwin Green(I)

Elwin Green began writing short stories and poems as a teenager, and
has been writing ever since. Unfortunately, for most of that time, none
of his writing paid anything, so he has made his living, or come close
to doing so, as a data entry clerk, cab driver, bank teller,
administrative assistant, campus minister, tax preparer, and a soldier
in the U.S. Army (where he actually did write for a living, for the
"Coral Courier," the base newspaper for the U.S. Army Base Command
Okinawa).
He first tried his hand at screenwriting in 1980, with a planned 6-part adaptation of C.S. Lewis' novel, "That Hidden Strength," that he was writing as an independent study project while at the University of Pittsburgh. Halfway through the writing, he contacted the C.S. Lewis estate to see if it was okay to do that, and they said no.
Discourged, disheartened, disgusted, and disillusioned, he did not attempt screenwritng for more than 20 years. When he did return to the format, it was with a series of short scripts, which are listed on his website. He has produced the first, "I Will Love You Always," and as of July 2008, the second, "coda," is in post-production.
He also co-wrote the scripts for "Opposition," (2006) with Atticus Cain, and "Ten Keys" (in development), from the Lee Child story, with Gregory T. Olszewski.
He has not left his day job, as a business writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and author/maintainer of the "My Homewood" blog on the PG's website.
