Script Frenzy

Posted on by

I just finished working on the script for Elance.  It was supposed to be a 7-minute movie…and I wrote 13 pages.  I have a feeling it is too long.  Hopefully the contractor doesn’t mind too much.  Anyway, I am completely addicted to the idea of screenwriting.  The first thing I know I need to do is read through a few scripts from good movies.  Does anyone know how to get your hands on movie scripts?

I’m going to take a break this afternoon.  I will update the Memory Challenge with Day 13 this evening or night.  It’s going to be very different from the ones I have done.  I’ve been looking through the newspaper from my hometown and it sparked several strange memories.  I can’t help but recall the strange circumstances of my high school graduation…and the strange realization that I am exactly who my 18 year old self wanted me to be.

More on that later,

I know I bid far to low to ghostwrite the script I am currently working on…but I love it.  I’ve written Haikus, Poems, Flash Fiction, Short Stories, and Novels.  The one format that I have never worked with is screenwriting.  It’s very different and dialog-oriented.  Now that I am learning the ropes as part of a job, I can’t help but wonder if I would enjoy doing one on my own.  I absolutely love movies.  Plus, I usually envision my stories in scenes.  Maybe this is the perfect in-between.

Aside from working on the script today, I am getting back into the swing of working on my 50-Day Memory Challenge.  I’m going to try to do as much work as I can over the next couple weeks.  Once the end of July hits, I’m going to get crazy busy.  Trip to Connecticut.  Trip to Iowa.  Trip to Washington.  All within the course of one month.  It’ll be amazing, but difficult to write consistently.  I can’t wait.

Genealogy, Scripts & Geese

Today has been quite an interesting day.  I have 17 days before I fly out whit my family to Connecticut to celebrate my Grandmother’s 80th birthday.  I have a bunch of geneology stuff that I’ve gathered over the years that I want to be able to give them as a present.  One is an audio diary that they gave to the entire family a couple decades back.  I’ve started transcribing it and hope to finish before the trip.

I also just received a ghostwriting job.  The job is to write a script to a seven minute short film.  I got the job because I bid way to low for such a job…because I really want to try writing a script. I can’t wait to get started.  I have a week to write it.  So, I’m going to go start working on that.  Here is day eleven of the 50 Day memory Challenge.  Enjoy.
