I love to write.  That much is a given but lately I’ve been struggling with what to write.  No, I don’t have writer’s block…  Well, maybe I have a “kind” of writer’s block…

When I first started to write screenplays my focus was on getting one completed.  Now I’ve got five done and they all need revision.   A screenplay is always in a flux of revision (until it is made into a movie!).

So I have to decide, which of the five to revise.  Do I work on the one that is the most polished?  Or do I work on the one that needs the most work?  I’ll let you know when I decide!

I know in January I am going to start writing a new screenplay.  MoviePoet is having a second log-line screenplay contest in 2010 and I will enter it.   The assignment for the contest might include a required element so I can’t start writing until I know what the element is.   Besides the spirit of the contest is “new screenplays” so I don’t want to start writing until January.

I have two ideas for this screenplay and I’m fleshing out major characters, beats, etc.  But if the contest has a required element that doesn’t work for one of these two ideas, then I’m going to be back to square one in January, as far as the MP contest goes!

Next week-end is the next round for the NYC Midnight competition.  So next week-end I know what I’ll be working on!

Also, I need to write something for the December MP short script contest. but I have a while to worry about that.  No ideas yet but I really haven’t given it much thought.

And right now I’m writing this post and …

I just got an idea.  I’m going to go over my five screenplays, find “excerpts” to upload on this site and maybe by doing that I’ll know which one I want to spend some time with!
