Writing Chat

[Dirty Duck]

There was a period where I was managing to work on something a bit every day but I only got so far as going through planning and forming the idea. I never got to the writing part. I was reading a book I picked up randomly for £3 about writing screenplays and it was more for features and my idea was envisioned as a short which made it a bit hard going through so much development techniques lol. I should get back to it really.

That's pretty cool - I feel like I often have a lot of fun outlining and planning the writing I'd like to do, but less (albeit still somewhat) fun in the writing part. What's the screenwriting book you bought yourself?

Late reply but it was this one:

I fell off hard and still need to get back to it, though I'm not sure I'd necessarily recommend this book yet. I haven't finished it and also just feel like I have no idea how it compares to similar "guides" as I haven't really read any. The chapters I read got me thinking and were at least broken down into activities as well as some prose to make you think and whatnot. I'm considering starting it again but pursuing a different idea that's more fitting for the feature structure the book assumes.
