A word count

I finished the first draft of my book...

#WritingCommunity

Enjoying writing ATM, don't want to lose the momentum, but blooming life is getting in the way.

How do you people with kids do it? Because I'm struggling with just the job and a wife 😂

How's the writing going today? #WritingCommunity #ScriptSky #Novels #Screenplays #Writers

Love writing an expo dump that I'll need to half in size / cut when rewriting #writingCommunity

Is there a standard script format for stage?

It's obvious when it comes to screenplays what it should look like, but can't seem to find an agreement for stage scripts?

Re-outlined my novel and done a worth word count estimate of each chapter.

Looks like 66,000. A bit short, but we can work with that.

First page of a novel

Let's do a different #FirstPageFriday because I'm not doing any #ScriptSky stuff right now, it's onto my espionage novel, title tbc

Why does it take 3 attempts to put in a USB stick?

Scrapping a 22,000 word manuscript and starting from scratch, all because I thought of a new plot point which would be plot holes galore in the chapters I've already written...

I know you're not meant to, but sod it... Writing episode 2 of my series idea.

The pilot can sit there but just an urge to write this whole thing 😂

#ScriptSky

I have a character named after a journalist I got in a twitter spat with previously.

He isn't the nicest of characters.

Handwriting a chapter on a sunlounger by the pool, what a life. #BookSky #WritingSky

Writing a script which involves characters playing darts.

Never thought I'd need a calculator to do a screenplay.

#ScriptSky

A page from a screenplay

Leaving yourself notes when you just want to move onto the next scene and come back to it.

#ScriptSky

Any suggestions of sports scripts? Trying to do a niche sport... But looking to have the sport more as a framing device rather than the story itself.

Have Challengers, read Whiplash (treating drumming at the sport). Any other suggestions?

You must be out of your mind - says a handsome man in mission impossible

Me thinking I'll get my book written this summer.

Does anyone have a Network ISA account? Is it worth it? Looking for alternatives since Coverfly gone/going. #ScriptSky

I've been stuck with an outline for 2 weeks now. Opening and closing scenes drafted. Just no idea how to fill out the in-between bits, which I'm told are rather important. #ScriptSky

Love how the "Bourne Collection" on NowTV consists of... *Checks notes* 1 Bourne Film #Streaming

I really need to use this more than the other horrible yet addictive app

Script feedback

Well, my script has had some mixed reviews.

This scored an 8 on The Blacklist (and a 4 too) and then this score feedback from the Raindance festival 😅

How are we all this fine Tuesday?

I've taken a break from a scripts to write a novel, and have just crossed the 22k word count.

A long way to go.

Places like CoverFly closing doesn't seem good for the screenwriters trying to break in...

Forgot how difficult it is jumping between novel writing and screenplay writing.

Just finished Light & Magic series 2.

Why do good things always have to come to an end?

It wasn't Adam Scott sadly. Was Burn Gorman 😅

What is the etiquette for saying hello to a celebrity at the urinal? Asking for me.

A word count on a word doc saying 4982 words and 8 pages.

I'm pantsing a novel from a screenplay outline, so this will be a struggle once I get into it... But nearly 5000 words in an evening. That'll do.

Why aren't novels written in present tense normally?
