Chipping Away
Screenwriting continues.
I find that as I put more thought into preparing the treatments, outlines and scene-by-scenes, I’m chipping away at the story problems that have had a tendency to crop up when I’m writing the screenplay proper.
The long, puzzling preparation can be frustrating at times, but it is well worth it to avoid those moments I’ve had when struggling through a page.
My greatest hope is to take the preparation to such a stage that I cannot wait to write the scenes: the attraction of having an air-tight story with scenes one is excited to depict is huge.
I’ve nearly broken the spine of one screenplay treatment and I am going to start work on the scene-by-scene list on another: still a long way from the writing, but the foundations will be solid.
