Write a script

I put a draft together, but it wasn’t so great. My good friend Bill gave me some helpful notes, but I haven’t gone back and done the rewrite yet.

Definitely part of my problem is that I work from home and, I think, I tend to really wear myself out during the workday. Balance is something that I have to work on if I want to get more of my personal projects completed.

I sat down and put an outline for script together. I think I have enough conflict and a simple enough setting that I can make this work for my film project (make a short film).

Since I have an outline, I also started putting the actual script together. I found a decent template for screenwriting that works with Pages and I put some dialog down on paper. I wanted the template so I can get as close as I can to an actual seven minutes of script.

When I get a decent draft together, I will post it to my blog.

I’ve decided to set some time aside every night to work on my script. I also pulled my copy of The Art & Craft of Playwriting off the shelf, if I get desperate I might even work through a couple of the exercises.
