Check-in time?

How's everyone doing with their writing this week, now that we've passed the half-way point?  Have you been working on your WIPs?  Made any progress?  Run into any trouble?  Let's talk about it!  


(not sure if I'm supposed to post this, but since nothing was posted yesterday I thought I'd go ahead!)

My project for this week is finishing the script for a TV pilot to submit for a fellowship with the Sundance Institute. If I get selected I will learn how to be a showrunner for a week. (Do I want to even be a showrunner? Not sure about that...)

I finished a script, so yay for that. Now I've been trying to polish the first five pages, which is what we submit for the first round, and "polishing" has been more like "rewriting entirely" and I have no idea what's going to work anymore.

Writing is hard.

The whole first round submission package is due Wednesday. I need to figure this out before then, and I feel like it'll be ten minutes to midnight before I know how to make this work.

Wow, that's really awesome!! And it's great that you've already finished and are in the editing stages, even if it does mean a lot of rewriting! Just remember to breathe, and you'll surely get it done! Do you have someone you trust who can beta-read (or the script equivalent to that...)? I find it always helps with I'm re-writing something to have someone read through and tell me if it flows, or if I can do something super simple like moving a paragraph somewhere else to make it all work.

Writing is super hard T_T

ETA: GOOD LUCK with the Wednesday deadline! You can do it‼ \o/

Thanks!

I did give it to a beta reader and she made some excellent suggestions, but I'm still flaily about it. It's such an intimidating prospect! My jerkbrain has been in overdrive about it.

SO COOL! XD

I mean, I know it's difficult, but what an amazing project! I'll be thinking tons of good thoughts for you getting it done.

Thank you!
