Writing Again
So for gins and griggles (but actually for practice) I'm working on a full length screenplay. Because I figured it'd be easier to start from something I decided to write a Captain Marvel movie, because she's the best (this was back before they announced that they were actually make one). Much procrastinating later and I finished a beat sheet a couple weeks ago and am going to script.
This is the first script I've written since "Ghosts That We Knew" last August and kinda the first bit of fiction I've really worked on properly all year (been busy, okay?).
As such there's a lot running through my mind:
- How do people talk?
- Why do people not talk during some conversations?
- What's a good snack to get from a bodega?
- How do people leave conversations?
- What does a nine-year-old sound like?
- What is the proper use of CONTINUOUS in a slugline?
- How do people say goodbye?
- No, no, keep direction out of your action.
- What is a conversation?
- Oh god I'm taking forever to get to the inciting incident.
- Hey look, this character's actually developing a voice!
- Holy fish it's taking forever to write ten pages.
- Is that a natural way to say someone's name?
- How much description should I give of a location?
- Man, I gotta read more scripts.
