November Write Club Week 3’s Post – What I’m Doing to Prepare & What Helps Me Persevere

My main goal for November Write Club is finish rewriting my Horror Action feature script. I’ve already done two drafts of the script during Write Club. I’m thinking of ways to make my script stand out when I start pitching it, like coming up with a unique social media pitch campaign. It'll be like a movie campaign but for a script. We’ll see how it goes!

And something I do that helps me persevere when the industry feels slow/competitive is keep working on projects instead of focusing on those things.

Billy Kwack

Hi Maurice, have fun rewriting, I'll start writing again after this Saturdays comic book convention

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Billy Kwack. Thanks. Cool. What's the name of the comic book convention?

Meriem Bouziani

Congratulations to you on your progress.

I hope you achieve your dreams.

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Meriem Bouziani. I hope you achieve your dreams too!

Elle Bolan

Hey Maurice! I throw myself into the work too. That's the best way to stay focused on driving yourself forward. Just focus on the work.

Billy Kwack

Hi Maurice, big apple comic con, it's my favorite in NY

Maurice Vaughan

Hey, Elle Bolan! I think that's the best thing to do. It's easy to get discouraged by what's going on in the industry or rant, but it's better to focus on a project(s).

Maurice Vaughan

Cool, Billy Kwack. Do indie comic book publishers show up at that con?

Marc Ginsburg

If you're writing horror, you really got your work cut out for you making your script stand out. This is supposed to be the eery creepy genre but it's become so commonplace from lack of writers' imagination that it's becoming tedious.

Maurice Vaughan

Hey, Marc Ginsburg. I'm not worried about that at all. This concept and the scenes are unique and exciting! Some of the scenes are scary, but my script has a lot of action. What's your goal for November Write Club or what's your writing goal for the rest of the year?

Billy Kwack

Hi Maurice, yes, in the artist alley room

Maurice Vaughan

Let me know what comics you get, Billy Kwack. I'm trying to figure out a new screenplay story about a con.

Billy Kwack

Hi Maurice, that's cool, me and buddies joined a gym today, that was fun

Maurice Vaughan

"me and buddies joined a gym today" sounds like the start of a Comedy script idea, Billy Kwack.

Billy Kwack

Hi Maurice, that's funny, I'm going to the gym again later today

Priya Mistry

Good going Maurice Vaughan . Yes , you are right. Silently working on your project with all positivity is the best thing to do and ignore other stress and negative thoughts in the mind.

Maurice Vaughan

Cool, Billy Kwack. Have a great time!

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Priya Mistry. You're right. And focusing on the industry feeling slow/competitive can slow down or stop a project.
