Ok i need help with my script Hunted.

Its in the year 2345. The human kind is at war with the aliens. Twelve starfighter were sent to protect a transportation ship. Three huge Alien ships shoot down the Transpotation ship. The ship hits a planet. the ship rips in half. Some people in the front piece of the ship survived. So they have to go looking for the other piece just in case there are survivors. But its hard to look for a ship when you are being hunted.

I can see why you need help.

You need to focus on one script.  It seems thtat every week or so, you tell us your latest story idea.  It gets tiresome.

Try using the checkpoints in this thread called Screenwriting Palette in the Class board. Provoke some of that creative thought and see if you can hammer it out...or maybe even discover it can't be hammered. Hey, it happens.

That's it. I can't take it. Greg i just want to have a co writer. So don't call me a lunatic. Trust me you just said i was crazy. Dogglebe i just want to have a co writer. Just because o can think up ideas.  Well george was nice about it.

You've been doing this since you first came on the boards.  Ideas pop into your head and you post it here without thinking about them.  Then you ask people to help you out.  After a few days, you get tired of the story and you start working on another.  And then you post that.

You're being lazy.

Stop it!

It's hard. See i work on a story> Then another story pops into my head and boom i work on that script. I am so weird like that.

This happens with everyone.  Stories are always popping in my head, but when I'm working on one, I work on that one.  And the thrill of the stories always fade after a while.  You have to learn discipline to stick with one story.  And we can't tell you how to do that.

thanks for the advice(kinda). You're not such a bad person after all.

Why would I trust your accusation of me calling you a lunatic when I didn't? If you didn't run around the boards like a desperate writer then I may have been more forward with you.  As Phil said, you're lazy.  You need to think your ideas through before coming onto a board and begging for help.  All writers go through the difficulties of creating a good story, but it's the talented ones who are able to figure it out on their own.  Now TRUST ME, I'm not calling you talentless, I'm just telling you to be more assertive with your writing and don't pollute the WIP section with random ideas floating through your mind that you haven't fully thought through yet.

What I usually do with the ideas that I also constantly get when I'm writing is write them down and then finish what I'm working on. We know writing one thing for a while is a process that takes a lot of time and discipline. You can't get anywhere on those checkpoints without discipline. It's ok to get ideas. That's great! But you have to figure out which ideas are worth saving and which ideas aren't.

Quoted from Toran It's hard. See i work on a story> Then another story pops into my head and boom i work on that script. I am so weird like that.

I would suggest you stop doing that immediately, and keep working on whatever you happen to writing at that time.

However, I would suggest having a notebook handy, so you can write down that idea that pops into your head, and have something to refer back to when, and only when your WIP is completed.  At least the first draft anyway.

write all the ideas that pop into your head down though, like on a notebook, then forget about them.  When you finish the thing your working on pull out the notebook and take a look.

You need some focus, my friend. Try just writing all your ideas down on a sheet of paper, and pick the idea you like best for your script. If you don't like any of it, then try a new approach

Screenwriting is like a fruit: you can’t to eat it green you have to wait it to grow up.

There is time to plant; there is time to pick. Time to plant is when you put every idea in a piece paper, every time, every day when ideas pop up in your head.

Time to pick is when you picked up one of those ideas and write it with begin, middle and end.

Just after that you are allowed to serve it out.

Good luck!
