I found twenty-four (count 'em, twenty-four) partially written feature-length scripts.  I couldn't believe this number; I figured it was closer to ten, or so.

I wonder how writers kept their scripts in order when they worked on typewriters.

I'm not going to work on any new projects until I clean this up a little.  After I finish the first draft of an urban horror script I'm writing, I'm going to resume a comedy that I started years ago.  After I finish these two scripts (after some more revisions), I'll be picking something else out to continue.

Out of these incomplete scripts, three are either sequels or feature-length adaptations of shorts I've written.

I know mine is overwrought with ideas and partials. I've never endeavored to count them primarily because (a) it's too depressing to actually count and (b) I store stuff everywhere.

I have 5, but they're all really bad!  
Maybe only one of them is worth going back to.

I just finished the second draft of one of these scripts.  I'm going to put it down while I pick up another another unfinished masterpiece.

Think of it as 24 seeds planted, each one waiting for it's given time to blossom into:

A. a fine, aged wine
B. a beautiful young woman
C. a rotten, marauding corpse devouring any brain that would dare to confront it.
