I just realized that I have 5 scripts in the works right now – 2 Fls at 3 & 5 years, 3 shorts at a year to a month and new ideas pop up every day. When I hit a bump on one, I set it aside and work on another. Am I the exception or are there others like me out there? One story line/script at a time – from beginning to end – bores me to tears.

it took me a moment to understand what you meant. my problem in making progress is plotting. once i get a plot properly sorted I can write and or spew just fine. it is my achilles heel.

Expand commentEmily Ann – Birthing a story can seem overwhelming at times but your Zorrewe story must have a spark that caught your attention. There are a couple of things that ought to be going on at this stage. Ask yourself a few questions first – some will be very easy, some not so much. Try to write a logline first (you’re the only person who’s going to see it – don’t worry about it.) The reason for the logline is that you need to know the ending so you have a place to write to. Now, what’s the genre, what’s the location, what’s the time, who’s your hero? See, easy (so far.) Now what’s your hero want more than anything else? (Be specific – not he wants love, respect, more like he wants all the gold in Fort Knox or to catch Dr. Evil from setting off a nuclear bomb.) Now what catastrophe could befall him or what nasty character really wants to stop him (and why)? How many times will he struggle before he gives up (downer ending) or succeed (upper ending.) Run your character up a tree, throw rocks at him. How does he get down?
That is what I do as well :)
Thanks for the add.
Sure, nice to meet ya
