I'm working on rewriting my goddamn OWC script. It's hard to fit in time with all the worldly needs of wife and children and jobs and school and everything else.
Doing a lot of sketch comedy writing as well. Part of my new interest in starting a YouTube channel. Got a small group together and we all help each other produce our own videos, except sometimes it feels like everyone only wants to work on their own stuff.
I get it, same with me, but at least I make an effort to help with their projects. Now I'm venting about a whole different set of problems, I digress.
Just trying to find my voice as a writer, that's all I'm doing.
I rewrote my OWC script (Earth's Final Moments) and Don's posted it if anyone is interested. That script (believe it or not) is actually a prequel to a TV series I'm developing. Working on the pilot script and a TV bible now and producing a short film that ties into this universe I'm creating. Have enough of a high level concept for about three seasons. I've never been so excited about a project ever.
Of course, it's huge budget and I'm an unknown who writes part time as a hobby, so the chances of anyone picking this up is a big fat zero, but I'm loving the creative process and really enjoying it.

Mark - gave it a read - posted in the original thread
Okay - just changed from my original direction. I have started a feature - the general premise is a serial killer in the world of virtual reality. Format wise - it is going to be a challenge, but I think I got some good stuff to start with.

Just do me a favor and make sure that it's better than "Ghost in the Machine". Lol. =)
I was going to quit last year, but then I optioned a feature and a short right off the bat in January 2016, so I hung on rewriting the feature. Then, I read a book that I loved and asked the publisher for permission to adapt it. They agreed and we are now working on trying to make that script perfect. Some big people involved! So, I'm still in, but I'd be lying to you if I said I'm gung-ho. I haven't watched a new movie I liked in years. I don't really watch TV shows either. I guess I just have lost interest in this business. I go to the grocery store and can't avoid the tabloids, but I have no clue who the people on the covers are...
I still love SS and owe everything regarding to screenwriting to SS. I'm just losing interest in films and TV. There's a whole world out there that I find much more interesting.
I'm at a similar point in some ways.
I still love movies and TV is in a golden age, for me, but my motivation to create films has diminished somewhat.
It's partly because I found God. There's a certain pettiness to films that is hard to stomach now my world view has changed.
It's also partly a realisation on similar lines that films, and Art in general, are phoney. They can't take me to the place I want to go. You can only create further artifice, you cannot create reality. The true canvas is real life.
I don't write much these days but I've decided to give my last OWC a shot as a feature.
Inevitably turning a simple concept into a feature shows you all the gaps and shortfalls there are, but I've made quite good progress.
I've had to accept many changes, but to help me along I'm writing out an unseen backstory so I can be consistent and know where I'm coming from.
The protagonist is stuck in his own dream world/coma and must make his way through various worlds/scenes to survive. This throws up some great opportunities for weird visual shit, however, I want them to be relevant. As a trainee therapeutic counsellor I am curious on the mind, how people are , how they relate etc so I think it throws up some opportunities to explore those worlds.
One idea which I can't decide whether to ditch or not, is whether he needs a buddy on the adventure, and if so, my first idea was to have his alter ego to reflect we have many split parts to our self and to show the opportunity for growth. Still working on that.
