#zd30script

Zero Draft Thirty Begins today! The challenge: To write one full feature from FADE IN to FADE OUT during the month of March!

Even if you’re not writing a feature, I challenge all of you to try and write every day this month. I’ll be posting occasional updates and I encourage you all to post you #zd30script achievements as well!

No! Not the TV Show!

This. :) The place where you can find scripts (and share your script too!)

Once interesting thing they do is live readings. Maybe an alternative to going to the cinema, turning on the telly, or going to a play?

Also...for writers, a monthly calendar to help them along the process! Finding the right system that works! That’s how John Grisham and Jerry Seinfeld were able to get to their net worth now.

One thing I’ve learned from the site was about scripts that float online. They are categorised ‘For Your Consideration’...and basically out there for the public to view! Which made me want to do a quick search. And I found the following:

Fox Searchlight - empty at the moment, and I’m looking forward to check this out to see how its looks populated

Amazon Studios - They don’t have a list of screenplays to read...though they do have a submission platform, and also a place to share screenplays (that you wrote)! How cool is that?

Think your writing could be stretched more if you’d spend a couple of weeks in a specific format? Here are some guidelines.

Note: If I had a chance to stick a sticky note, that had ‘awesome’ written on it, on something or someone  (There’s an ad that had people walking around with sticky notes one them that said ‘like’ —- was it from Canon?).

I do know that because this would be a long list (10,000 WHAT!?), there is a chance that I may double up (or triple? I hope not!)…so I give you my blessing to give me a ‘stern talking to’ if you do spot duplicates.

Entering the 2016 Spring Zero Draft Thirty Challenge

I’m starting work on a new script called A Shining Diamond for the 2016 Spring Zero Draft Thirty Challenge. Updates to come #ZD30SCRIPT

Transparency: The last 5 days have been a struggle. I’ve been staring at this script trying to figure out what to do. I had a plan. I had a rough outline but my characters wanted to go in another direction. I followed and now we are stuck. They just stand there waiting for me to tell them what’s happening, but I don’t know. This was their path, remember. I write things and they perform, but it’s…

Zero Draft Thirty (ZDT) start. I’m not sure where to start with this. I wanted to take the last 2 weeks and get a good outline going but I didn’t get much done. I indexed some scenes and since i really don’t know where to start I’ll just pick a scene and go from there. I had extensive notes on this script but I think there are all in storage and I can’t find them so I’m starting from mental…

#Zero Draft Thirty Day 17

Ok, so I’m completely stuck. I’m sitting here and have no clue what to write next. Something happened over the weekend in my story and now it’s at a stand still. I don’t know. I don’t know, I don’t fucking know. And this is my day off and I wanted to burn through some pages and really get this thing nailed down, but apparently it has other plans. So this is what I’m going to do I’m print out…
