Scriptravaganza!
Oct. 4th, 2009 05:09 pmMy deadline for finishing the first draft of the horror audio play is end of day Tuesday. I'm slightly blitzed for lack of sleep today, but I'm still going to put a couple hours into fleshing out my outline, working on some of the characters, and doing a bit of research and decision making re: the setting and some plot elements. I basically want to end today ready to hide away somewhere and write the script tomorrow.
Tomorrow: I write the script. In its entirety. I make notes as I go of character/storyline/setting stuff that I need to work on, but I'm not going to obsess over this stuff. At the end of the day I'll have a very rough but COMPLETE script with the words "THE FRIGGIN' END" at the bottom of the last page.
Tuesday: Work out the kinks identified during Monday's speed write. Edit the script / rework as much as makes sense on the day. We're still talking about a first draft, so I'm not going to go overboard, but I want to be in a good position to have someone read it and give me some feedback on where to go with it next. I basically want to feel like I've thrown myself at it with as much gusto as I can muster on my own.
All right, time for less rambling and more writing. SCRIPTRAVAGANZA BEGINS!
