Back again

I've managed to blog for the 3rd day running, this must be some kind of blogging record. Next thing you know I'll be blogging more than once a day. And you never know I might actually post something interesting at some point.

Finished my one page outline today. Not something that I had done before in my writing but it is pretty much a page containing the main beats/incidents in the plot. They are as follows:

Status quo

Inciting incident

1st Act turning point

2nd Act turning point

Climax

Resolution

Now even though this is not exactly breaking new ground in the screenwriting world I think that being able to see all these points at this stage in the process is helpful. It has made my think about the overall structure of the narrative and focus my ideas into something that resembles a plot. It should also help with the next step of the writing process which will be a 2-page treatment.

Hopefully at some point I will be able to post all of these documents but at this point I don't know much about copyright etc. so I'll wait until everything is finished before posting anything specific.

I will think of something much more interesting to post tomorrow rather than the simple day in the life ramble I have been posting so far.

Until tomorrow....
