Cruising along at page 42, but cheating on some of the fight sequences for now...

I'm confused! What are you guys going on about?  

Anyway, I hit page 70, but I feel I'm very far from the end. I think this one might end up 120 pages or so.  

Close to pg 20 in my rough outline. Hoepfully I can start writing by the end of this week.

Don't worry pia. there's always time to revise.

Interrupting here with my blahblah - I'm on page 46 and got some of the ending too, just started picking scenes at random and write on them.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Anyway, I hit page 70, but I feel I'm very far from the end. I think this one might end up 120 pages or so.

Actually, I think that's a good sign -- sounds like you have a complex story and intricate plot -- I envy that!

Mine is an intricate plot but I can't squeeze more than 80 pages out of it. I wonder how that happens.

It's so intricate that I started thinking it's too much and I forget some of it so I decided to drop few plot points.
--already thinking about what to hit in the rewrite.

You guys are hilarious!  I can't wait to read all the finished scripts.

Pia, page 70, and bodies are still being discovered?  If I discovered 1 body, I'd be the Hell out of wherever I discovered it and the PoPo would be on their way.  What kind of budget are you shooting for?

I will get over the 20 page humper today...hopefully 25.

What you need assistance with Jeff?

I'm on page 75. Feel like I'm still far from the end...  

No, I don't need any, but Ken did.  I was looking for some other opinions on the advice I gave him, which he didn't seem to agree with.

I'm page 23 now. Still going rather slowly, but I'm fixing things up as I go, so what I have is pretty solid, and (hopefully) error free.  All the major players have been intro'd, and the mystery is heating up.

I'd like to get to page 30 by tomorrow. I could easily write some scenes out of order, that I know of, but I'm trying to write it all as it goes.  Like you, Pia, it seems to be writing itself now and new ideas are coming and working.

This will not be a long script, IMO.  I'm gunning for a tight 90-95 pages.  BUT, tight to me, probably isn't tight to others.  Trying not to be too chatty.  Like you, Pia, my script is kinda slow, but I think the mystery elements will work well enough to keep it entertaining.  It's also a very visual script, and I'm looking at a large budget, with lots of really cool settings.

I like it!  I'm happy.  

I've had to go back and rethink everything after straying wildly from my outline, so much so I was making stuff up to try and get back on track. Trust me when I say it turned out a complete mess, and I'm only on page 25.  

I'm going to spend the next day or two doing a new outline with my new ideas so I know where this is going. It's a pretty messy affair so far but I think I'll have the time to pull it all together before the deadline. I'm sure of it.

As for flashbacks and such. I don't have any extended flashbacks (yet), but I want to have quick flashes of images when my character remembers things from the past. I can't think of any examples of movies that you see this in, but I do know it happens in a lot. I don't know how to format this correctly but I'll worry about that when I have something that resembles a complete story first! I have no voiceovers, not really a fan of those.

I don't have anyone breaking out of or waking up in a hospital. Don't have any FLASHBACKS or V.O. either.

Still on page 75...beer time starts soon for me so I don't expect that I'll add anything today.

Brian, don't worry about it. Mine is a big mess too. Just get the first draft done and then use all the comments you get here to fix the story.

Just so all of you know, I won't have anything for this one. I had an idea, and it's an idea I sort of like, but I would never be able to sort it out and write it in four weeks. The world-building would probably take that long. The title would've been Transfer. Maybe I'll write it someday...

To all of you trying to finish, or soldier on, or even just starting - keep going! It's a great feeling when you actually reach the finish line on something like this; I j-u-s-t managed it last time, and I was really chuffed I did. I also got a half-decent script that I'm going to re-write and repost this Christmas. It's not a waste of time, it's a great learning experience, and there's no downside to having another script in your portfolio, even if it just a draft.

And if Jeff drops out of this one, too, then he's just a little weakass pussy bitch.

JB, I won't be dropping out of this one, but I may be a little weakass pussy bitch anyways.

Page 26, and still chugging along.  can't wait till I get to the big set pieces.

No dialogue yet, and no human characters intro'd as of yet.  Luckily an eagle is my main character.

I'm on page 59 seem like I have room for ten more pages, no more. Reached an action sequence and trying to write it well.

If I stop on seventy - I'll go back and add fluff here and there.

Good luck on finishing to all.

Sounds like you've already made it then, Khamanna.  Good job!  Very impressive.

Probably won't have any time over the weekend...big UFC card tonight, peeps coming over for dinner, etc.  Maybe I'll get to page 30 by Sunday night, but that will be it.

Another new breakthrough has written itself, though, so that's cool.  Basically another subplot that will fill some needed pages for me.  I'm gong to be gone all next weekend, so I really need to get on this during the week.  Hope to get through at least page 50 by next Friday.

Good luck to everyone.  Keep at it!
