Day 27 has gone away. I wrote and progress was made. I'm writing again now and coming up on a flashback scene in my script. In my script I'm merely putting the year the scene takes place so the reader knows it's a flashback. I wonder how this flashback and other flashbacks in this film... Continue Reading →
It’s not uncommon for writers and artists to try to avoid consuming to much outside art that may influence what they’re currently working on in an unwanted way. I’ve tried to do this but can’t. Often times it helps me to look away from what I’m working on and absorb some music, movie or a... Continue Reading →
Day 16 of Nanowrimo is in the books. We're over halfway through. I'm writing this update later in the day than I normally would but that's ok. At least I'm getting it in. Do you guys listen to music or anything else when you're writing? I used to listen to all kinds of music when... Continue Reading →
Day 12 of NaNoWriMo has come and gone. During the work week I have 2 times of the day to write, in the early morning and at night before bed. I first have to block this time out for writing and then I have to be ready to write when I do sit down in... Continue Reading →
Day 9 of NanoWrimo. I made some good progress but I'm hoping this weekend I'm able to tackle larger chunks of the script. It seems common for screenwriters to have struggles with the second act of a screenplay and I'm no exception. I buy into the idea of second acts often being split up. With... Continue Reading →
Day 6 of Nanowrimo wasn't that productive. I had some wisdom teeth pulled in the morning so I didn't get in as much writing in as I would have liked. I did write a little bit at least and that's really my main goal for this month. To at least write a little bit each... Continue Reading →
Day 4 of Nanowrimo was productive. I made good progress on the script and my notebook is coming along nicely. On a side note, I have decided I will use my laptop to write when I'm in the situation to do so but will use my iPad Pro for much of the writing. Writing on... Continue Reading →
I guess I should have spent at least a week preparing for NanoWrimo. Day 3 was more of the same as Day 1 & Day 2. I'm in the middle of Day 4 and it is also feeling like the previous 3 days. My paper notebook is almost ready, my Scrivener document is all prepped... Continue Reading →
When I started this script I’m working on I was writing it in a different application than the one I want to work with now. I want to write the rest of it in Scrivener. So instead of just trying to import the script file into Scrivener I am retyping what I have done in... Continue Reading →
I am not a novelist but I am going to jump on the Nanowrimo bandwagon this year. I am going to use the month of daily writing to finish or get as close as I can to finishing a feature length screenplay that has been simmering for a few years. I will give more details... Continue Reading →
