Script Frenzy - Day 9

What is the greatest number of people you have hooked up with or slept with or even just kissed in three days? If I stick with my outline, my main character may get quite a lot of action in three days' time... or will he?

Script Frenzy - Day 8

After a few days of mulling over the progression of things, and starting to work out some character arcs and plot lines, I finally cranked out an outline today. (A much delayed flight to Atlanta provided plenty of time to get down to business.) Feeling pretty good about it - follows a good three-act structure, story lines are well-developed, balanced, and interwoven, and there's a good climax that leads to an unexpected ending. I also feel good about utilizing the source material as inspiration and a source of plot ideas while making this story my own and told in a different manner. Of course, we'll see how I feel when I reread the outline tomorrow... Some potential issues: the timeline, the character arcs, and avoiding predictable stories. Hopefully I can revise it enough in the next couple of days to get a solid foundation for writing the script itself.

Script Frenzy - Day 1

No outline yet. Not a good start.
I've got the idea, and I've started sketching out the first few scenes, but I feel like I need more solid outline to move forward. Not sure if I'll have time tonight to write, but hopefully I can flesh out an outline this weekend - at least enough to start writing next week.
