with only 3 more days to go, I have about 30 more pages to write. For a rough-draft script, that's going to be easy...as long as I can get myself to write.
I get bogged down when I read the script. It's not great. It might not even be good. But, I say to myself, it's a first draft. A ROUGH draft. It's going to be this way any time I try to write something for the first time.
Writing is re-writing.
Sigh.
Sometimes I wish it wasn't.
:P
There are a few things I'm happy about:
I really like one of the fighting scenes I've written. Since action is my favorite thing to imagine (it's harder to write, but still fun), I really, really love seeing a fight come together. Complete with banter, force fields, and emotion, this scene turned out alright for a first draft.
I'm surprised that one of my characters from season 2 popped up in the 2nd episode of the first season. What the heck?! Oh, well. She's moving the plot along quite nicely, so I can't complain.
I'm excited about this series. I think it would be about 3 or 4 seasons, maybe 5, so perhaps at some point in the future I'll write an episode here, an episode there, edit a few, and eventually I'll get to the point where I'll have every episode written and be able to send it off to sci-fi (or SyFy, which is ridiculous) and make a crap-ton of money off of it. XD
Actually I'd prefer it be on something like Showtime (50 min. eps. are the norm and there can be graphic violence).
Anywho...gotta get back to writing...so close to page 70! Every ten pages I get to update my page count status on scriptfrenzy.org.
Is it sad that I find this motivation enough to keep writing today?
