And I've been working pretty much non-stop at this script. Still have 6 scenes to map out so, I don't think I'm gonna finish it today...
As I write this this script is already 11 700 words long.
And, if all goes well, tomorrow a first draft for it will be ready - though I don't know if I'll read it all top to bottom then... I think I need a break!
(I'll work on another story!)
I think it's been going pretty well. A few scenes gave me problems the last few days. I didn't know how I'd visually recreate the intentions I had in my head but I think what's surfaced so far looks pretty good. The script is riddled with inconsistencies but all of them (or at least most of them!) are deliberate - I hope they'll build up on one another towards the sense of realisation I'm aiming for the reader to have when he/she reaches the end of this story.
Yesterday I once again rediscovered something that I'd found quite a while ago: it's easier for me to create panel/visual descriptions with pen and paper than typing them straight onto the screen (unless they're incredibly clear in my head, that is).
Yesterday I was blocked on a scene. Just kept staring at the screen over and over again and nothing came out. I knew what was going to happen - I just couldn't see it visually in a way that appealed to me.
So I just decided to pick pen and paper, shift body posture and see what came out.
I wrote during the next few hours 11 pages of panels and page layouts.
Of course, today I had to type it all up but it was well worthwhile!
Sometimes I think the hardest thing is to keep track of where our mind is - or wants to be!...
Anyway, the learning curve is working it's magic...
See you tomorrow!
(with a finished script...)
Peace.
