Finished 1st draft? (1 Viewer)

"...Gavrillo drops the neon light and splays out on the floor.

Curtain Down."

The final fullstop was like a burning exclamation mark in my head. This was only the beginning...

And so was my reflection on my 1st draft, although it was 1st draft Version 3.1.2c

Where is everyone else up to?

James, you doing performance poetry then? What sort of sound recording equipment do you have access to? (ie. still working at that radio station?)

Etc. What's your MW about?

You're funny - gawk gawk.

I'm a Stage Scripter...I gave up those mellow, coffee-coloured dreams last term: my postmodern poetics weren't enough for Sir John Foulcher.

Oh, and as for my project, PM me...I'm too secretive/jealous/defensive/all-knowing to tell you out here.

i'm in the middle of my second draft, which has changed so much from my first (at least it sounds better) Man, i had an epiphany last night at 1:30 am and i was stabbing my keyboard furiously when my mum told me to get some sleep. Ever notice that something that sounds good after 12 sounds crap the next day? Oh well, thats all fixed up now

Finally I'm done with my first draft. It is so unbelievably superficial, but my teachers wanted to see something. I gave them something... pity it was a load of garbage lol.

Much the same, much the same.

My band of intrepid users of public transport have become more of a crack-team of SAS...it *sounds* lame, but it's not...'swear.

Oh man, writing is a script is turning out harder than i planned

 

[bright_angell]

Any advice dudes?

Hell yeah its hard! im actually doing a script 4 drama ip but since there aint no one there at the moment- just thought id winge here- but im doin short story 4 ext2- INTRUDER ALERT!- but yeah its extreemly hard- get this- i have to present my script in 2 weeks where one character has spoken thus far (and lemmi tell ya theres a whole bunch of peeps in this one)

can u say DOOM-ED?

Any advice on writers block?- what i mean by 'writers block' is knowing what u want in the end but not coming up with the characters and particularly the circumstances and specfic situations that will present it.

*cough*cough* my teacher thinks my ip is 'developing'

 

[monique66]

hmm, dunno but crying always clears my head...lol, j/k
try drawing up a storyboard or a general outline, that should help

 

[Meldrum]

It's hard to get rid of writers block, as everyone has there own method. In order to get over my own jaded stagnance, I walked the streets at 12am with a Nintendo DS and a packet of chips.

It helped.
