1st Drafts and Rewriting

I have finished my first ever first draft for my first ever feature script. (Last part technically not true but I'm counting all of the unfinished attempts as practice).  It feels like a bit of an anticlimax to be honest.  Maybe it's the fact that I know it needs to be rewritten which takes the shine off it a little bit.  But saying that I do feel like I have achieved something.  The rewrites are only going to make the script better so that isn't a problem really.

The draft itself has to be handed in this Monday (the 18th) so there will only be time for a speedy one week rewrite.  I intend to continue rewriting until I feel everything is working and then hopefully send it out to some people around January next year.  January I hear you cry! Yes, January.  The main reason for that is I also have to write another feature by the end of August as part of my MA.  I was hoping when both of these features are finished and rewritten it will probably be the early part of next year.  It also means I can begin the year with two scripts behind me, something that has always seemed a long way off.

So hopefully the next six or seven months will be spent furiously writing and rewriting two projects that will create lots of interest in my endless talents and earn me loadsamoney!

Here's to world domination.  

Or two finished scripts.  

I think the latter.
