Back to School

So I'm going back to school in a few days. I realized I haven't blogged much nor have I read too many new scripts (amateur or otherwise) in a while. I don't know, but Triggerstreet always leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth whenever I review stories on that site. I guess moderation is key. Not knocking on the writers there but sometimes I feel like no matter how detailed my notes can be, there's always something missing on the execution that probably due to my amateur status, I can't pinpoint on how to fix. I suppose it's one of those things that you have to pick up after you start getting some things written and completed.

But, and this is a BIG BUT (hehe, I said big butt), I have been writing all of summer. Nothing too big but I've been constantly re-working my outline for my script which despite the flaws I see at the moment, feels much more focused and slightly more cinematic than I expected. Again it does have a few kinks that I'm not too happy with but hey, I'm not being such an ass like all those other times. I really can't wait until I actually start scripting the thing cause now, I've got myself a blueprint. It's closing in on 20 pages for my outline and it's more of a very detailed outline with bits of dialogue and shit like that thrown in.

Man, I wish I did this before I did my Vomit Draft back in April. It would've saved me so much time.

So here's a huge lesson, if you're writing an action script, outline, Outline, OUTLINE.

Peace til later peeps.
