Fd Lewis: Screenwriter in Washington, D. C..

I've just finished my first draft of my script and it has come in at about 85 pages. I've tried to keep dialogue short and snappy. I've tried to enter scenes late and leave them early. I've tried to only include scenes that build up for an effective closing scene. Feedback I've received has usually noted that it's fast paced, mostly in a positive way. A playwright said I should draw the scenes out so they last longer -- I took that as positive feedback coming from a playwright. ;) Anyway, here is my question, is 85 pages just too short and should I find ways to add a few pages to bump it up to 90?

Hey Dfunzy! Thanks for connecting. --Doug www.fourstarfeedback.com Twitter: @DougDavidson71

Hey Dfunzy, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Dfunzy, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hey Anthony, I just wanted to give you an update on a couple of recent additions/refinements to the site. First, we've added the ability for you to upload a resume to your profile. Just click on the "Resume" link in your profile menu to get started. We've also refined the Screenplay section. For starters, we've added the option to add a screenplay synopsis. We've also streamlined the layout making it easier for others to review your screenplay's title, genre, and logline. Thanks. --RB
