So, I did it. I sat down at 8:30pm last night and started writing the script, based off of the short story my publisher provided. I only got threw a few pages, but granted I literally was given the go-ahead yesterday to start producing the book. So, my point being that I haven't given the story much thought outside of some cool scenes or quotes. Nothing sequential. So, when I hit a mind block, or writer's block I guess, at 10:30pm, I closed MS Word, and left it alone until the next day (which is tonight). As I said before, I'm trying a schedule of 8:30pm-11:30pm each night during the week.
Ironically, I thought of a new scene last night as I was going to sleep. The story takes place in the future, a few centuries from now, so I am trying to make up situations that will better acquaint the reader to the future society presented in the book. Fun fun. :)
Now on to Day 2. Hopefully I'll get at least five pages scripted out. That would be good. Like I said, I want a finished draft out the door and off to my publisher by this Sunday night. Chances are there will be changes or edits, but hoping everything is great and I can start drawing Monday night. We'll see.
