Following on from making a feature and some short films, I found myself wanting to return to the longer screenplay format.

I’m working on three speculative screenplays, all at different stages, and while working on them has had its difficulties, the process has been enjoyable so far.

Over the years, I have come across many screenwriting techniques, tips and instructions. At the moment, all I can vouch for is the techniques of writing every day: it has made the practise of writing less onerous; the sight of a completed, but unsatisfying screenplay that can be worked on is way more attractive than an unfinished script, abandoned due to its not achieving perfection in its first draft.

My technique (such as it is) is to write a little every day. I am currently planning one screenplay while writing another. I’d like to see how this progresses with more concurrent writing but for now, this will do.
