Finished everything except the last one. Something came up recently that I had to work on for someone so it slowed me down. But I said no excuses, and I still got a month... not giving up!

It's actually been very close to finished for a long time now. I'm just glad the days of going into a feature without a clear plan are over. Cuz for me it leads to endless re-writing and wanting to smash my computer against the wall.

Can't wait to start on this horror feature next year.

I didn’t see you post your action adventure on SS!

Quoted from khamanna I didn’t see you post your action adventure on SS!

I changed my goals up, that's the last one I still gotta finish. Get with the program!

One day, it will arrive on these boards, only to peter out like a wet fart.

Quoted from MarkItZero ...only to peter out like a wet fart.

I didn't realize wet farts "petered" out. One would assume they might hang on in a room due to their stink and wetness. Now, the "quick burst," "squeaker" or "tiny gust" -- those I can see petering out. Not to be confused with the "crack in the dam." That one's definitely not petering out.

My end'ish of year update

1 - Write my first novel.  - Finished yesterday! First draft done. 80,514 words! WOOO!

2 - Write another feature - NOPE! Wrote a TV pilot and bible instead.

3 - Continue writing shorts, getting them produced. - Yup - Atoll's Edge is being filmed right now in New Jersey.

4 - Continue entering competitions, submitting to producers, directors and agents. - Yup! I've reached the finals of 5 competitions this year and won one of them. These have resulted in trips to Pinewood Studios, Ealing Studios, The House of Commons and Nashville.

5 - Keep writing, and never give up. - Yup!

According to the goals I set myself, I've failed miserably. But considering this will be my first full year actually being dedicated to the craft, I think it's been successful.

My 2020 goal is to simply carry on annoying people with my reviews of their scripts

Impressive!

When we set new goals for 2020, please remind me of this. It will inspire me to do better.

Nicely done!

1. Finish "Andretta" (officially). Fail.

2A. Get a final, or near-final, draft of "Housesitters". Fail.

OR

2B. Get a final, or near-final, draft of a comedy script I can't talk about. Still possible.

3. Reach "Fade Out" on an untitled action script. Fail.

4. Get a working draft of a noir/horror script. Fail.

5. Complete an outline of a high-concept horror script. Fail.

6. Make progress on an anthology feature (at least get three of the stories completed). Fail.

7. Flesh out the script for a Hollywood-based satire. Fail.

Truly inspiring.  

Quoted from Zack Truly inspiring.

Admittedly, everyone should feel good about how their year went when they look at mine. Everyone found some sort of success. Lol.

I aim low! My only goal was to rewrite my feature and I failed. But on the other hand I failed on just one goal as opposed to some people here.

Yeah, baby. Those are my kind of figures.

Respect! That's how I role too, and I'm always achieving what I set out to do. Sometimes as much as 50% of the time.

So in summary; aim low and achieve... go for the low hanging fruits and be winner. Leave those fruits out of reach to the people who'll never be happy.

I'm not taking the piss by btw. It's really my approach.

Quoted from JEStaats 1. Finish my feature 'Hell Followed', a prequel to 'Pale Rider' - SHIT! I still have time... 2. Finish my graphic novel script - Not a chance. I still need to finish my Badman series. 3. Option SOMETHING! YES! I Reckon is almost finished as a 3D animation and Super Scoop should film soon. Success! 4. Enter all OWCs - Blew this one: Couldn't think of a damn thing for a Rom/Com. Although I missed the RomCom, I'm pretty proud of placing in the Writers Tournament (1st in round 5) and entering the other OWCs. 5. Enter Imagine Impact 2 - Geez, I suck. Didn't enter, just encouraged others to enter. 6. Publish six comics - Posted 'Roar of Borealis' and 'Badman'. 'I Reckon' should post soon! Badman: Two in the Bush & 'It's Me' posted too.

Not a bad year.

Nothing like Mark, though. Nicely done!
