There was indeed script last night.
I have thirty script pages. Looking at the date, I need to write two pages a day to finish in time for the early Austin deadline. That sounds super-doable to me. In fact, I think I’ll see what I can do this weekend in the way of putting a serious dent in this...Progress
I’m doing revisions on Lizardfic right now. Back in November, I posted that I thought the universe in this story was underdeveloped. Well, I’m starting to really feel like that’s no longer the case. I’m starting to feel like there could be a...*yawn*
I’m so tired I keep opening the word document with my story in it, staring at it, and closing it again. I think maybe I should just go with it and go to bed early. After all, I was sick last week, and maybe Daylight Savings Time wasn’t the best time to...Script update
I’m now working completely out of sequence on “Double Feature.” I wrote in the major beats of the end, because they were clear in my mind. I also tweaked the beginning to lay the foundation for the climax. I think the beginning is pretty much done,...*throws confetti*
I just finished the first draft of Lizardfic. Hooray! It’s hard SF (biology). I have no idea if Analog wants it. They might. I still need to flesh out the protagonist’s emotional arc and the like, but the first draft is done. It was like grinding out...D’oh!
I realized something about my script this morning. That scene on page 13, that I intended to be the initial incident? That’s a very good scene. It’s exactly the way it should play out. I should be very pleased with it. There’s only one problem. It...Aha!
I think I’ve got it! I’ve been slogging painfully through Lizardfic–it has a lot of world-building, and it’s all very complicated and I’ve been trying to work it in smoothly–and I just realized that… My protagonist isn’t...Need an outline, STAT!
I wrote as far as I had in my script, which was basically setting up the premise. Page 13 is a good page to introduce the villains, right? Need an outline, STAT! On the other hand, I’m hearing character voices quip, which is a good sign, script-wise. And the...Hmmm…
I managed a super-rough outline (um, yeah, it’s a description of the setup and a few minor plot beats) and wrote five pages of setting up the premise in Final Draft, so I suspect the movie script is a go. Although I really, really need to come up with a better...Subscribe
