Update on “The Screenplay”
This week-end, I got a lot of good writing done on “The Screenplay”.
“The Screenplay” is the SP I’m writing for the MoviePoet.com contest. This month the loglines and titles are being reviewed at MP. The top thirty loglines/titles will advance to the next step of the competition.
I can’t mention my title or the subject of “The Screenplay” because it is very important that my project remain anonymous.
Last year my title and log-line did not advance. When I entered the contest, I was still researching and I really didn’t know enough about my story to write a good log-line or title. This year I feel better about the log-line and title but I don’t know if it’s good enough to go to the next level of competition. I sure hope so because I’m making great progress on the SP.
This week-end I wrote and wrote and I made a big dent in the second act. I’m happy to report that I’m up to page 68 and I’m quickly approaching the third act. And then, after the third act, I get to type “The End”, and then start the rewrites.
A lot of people don’t like the rewriting part. But I do. Because writing is rewriting. And that’s where the screenplay really improves!
Who knows. Perhaps this is the screenplay which will end up on the silver screen!
