Hope I didn't come across in the wrong way. I will read anyone's first ten that posts on the deadline and offer some words of encouragement. I will not be posting my first ten though as they will need to be cleaned up a bit and even changed in parts.


Not at all, man. Totally get it. I will be sending you a  draft of the whole thing though. I know you'll give some honest feedback.

Send yours on too, if you wish.

This one of the parts I like best in these Challenges -- the period when I have no idea what I'm going to write, but I know it's coming.


I was wrong. It hasn't come. Rough notion of story, main character, McGuffin, but there's not enough to go with. Think I'll bow out.

Best wishes to those in the throes of creation!

Check your PM's Glenn bruh! Sent you some feedback!

I'm still looking over the script for typos, but I only found one so far.

Good news, still.

Thank you Max!!

Much appreciated. Typos have been fixed. Constantly going over what I got and changing it here and there. Brain is sizzled!

IMO, you shouldn't worry too much over the first ten as they are likely to change as the story develops. Just write and don't stop. Then come back and clean it up on the rewrites.

Anyway, I suppose people work in different ways.

Nope, 63. I will finish within the week though. The story is already in my head, I just have to get it down.

Getting it down is the hard part IMO, especially when you're trying to pace out your story over 90 pages.

I know the start and how it all ends, but the middle could be steered in all different directions... and all sorts of subplots have the potential to be developed.

Writing clean through 90 pages is the challenge.

The middle is the fun part. Just go where the story takes you. If you don't like it afterwards then you can change it.

The hard part is the rewrites. Trust me. When you have to delete half the script and come up with something else to make it work, then that is the real graft.

That's why some refer to them as vomit drafts.

I don't worry about anything before I write. I get it all down (first draft) and then worry. Sometimes I can finish around the 60 mark and need to find more story. Other times I will finish around the 140 mark and need to take some out. Just go where the story takes you.

Some like to plan on paper. I prefer to have semi plans in my mind that lead to other plans... sometimes I don't know where it's going at all, but once I start typing it comes. Something always comes. Even if it's weak, carry on. Everything can be fixed later.

I like to jot down a few points that I'd like the story to follow. Not a strict plan, more like a rough guide. But as I write, I know what'll work best in the scene I'm in.

Then I go over it and take it all out and go back to thinking it's pure shit. God, I love writing

I use a whiteboard for character names and possible plot points/trails. If you haven't got a whiteboard then a second monitor for your computer will work just as well. When writing a feature it can be easy to get lost and especially with character names having to click things or scroll back wastes time.

Don't go over it until the second draft. You'll never finish if you over think it. There will be plenty of time for over thinking in later drafts. Everything comes together as you near the end. It does for me anyway. Sometimes I have no idea where the story is going until it gets there. I never let it stop me from writing.
