@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson And hello to you! (Seriously,
I want credit) #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:05 pm
@Sandy_Nicholson: All is well. Got stuck on a scene so
started writing swing music (at least it's writing something) #scriptchat

@Sandy_Nicholson: @TaroJ We are wrapped indeed! Though
editing is set to take a long long time. Booo. #scriptchat

@Sandy_Nicholson: @SiFoulaReel Then credit you shall have!
This gent helped me with a found dialogue experiment. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:07 pm
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson haha, that sounds like fun.
Do you write just lyrics or actual chords? #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:07 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @TaroJ I got it to 100 pages, still finishing
the first draft. This week's been heavy with real work so I've had to slack
off. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:08 pm
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell I write everything, guitar,
brass, woodwind, melody. I'm egotistical like that. Oh dear. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:08 pm
@teenierussell: @ScriptPunk hi Gail, errrrr, no writing done
this weekend, but lots of thinking, so all good :o) #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:08 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @Sandy_Nicholson I'm kidding, ultimately. Glad
to have been of help. I wrote that on a bus! #scriptchat

not really the same, I'm writing off May and getting all set for June
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:09 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell Deserved. Did you finish the
whole script? Mine's shaping up for 120+ pages so much to cut on 2nd draft.
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:09 pm
@petewrites: @ScriptPunk been grafting today. Many pages
#scriptchat

deaf, failed at everything music related #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:10 pm
@SpockWriter: @SiFoulaReel How was it to write 80pgs in 2
days if I remember rightly.... #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:10 pm
@alli_and_that: #scriptchat Currently on page 62 of one of
my features. Starting to feel like the end is in sight cause my outline tells
me so!
May 6, 2012, 7:11 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel I had the opposite problem,
just about got it over 100pgs, but lots of thinking to do before a major
rewrite #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:11 pm
@SpockWriter: @teenierussell there's a BBC+1??? #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:11 pm
@TaroJ: @teenierussell @sandy_nicholson what like
remembering lyrics.... (I feel a slap coming on) #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:11 pm
@teenierussell: @SpockWriter Sky + :-) I don't watch
anything live #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:12 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @SpockWriter Very tough. Had outline but some
scenes were elusive so I jumped ahead to write ones I could, which is rare.
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:12 pm
@teenierussell: @TaroJ @sandy_nicholson shhhh, it's called
being creative with the lyrics #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:13 pm
@ScriptPunk: @petewrites #scriptchat Me too. Managed to
really put some time into a script I've been ignoring for a while. Feels good.
Very virtuous!
May 6, 2012, 7:13 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @alli_and_that Is this the one you were 14
pages at the end of March? #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:13 pm
@SpockWriter: @teenierussell Ahhh that makes sense :)

May 6, 2012, 7:14 pm
@alli_and_that: @SiFoulaReel Possibly? It's likely. Had a
fast start then a big of a slog through the first half of second act plus work
etc. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:14 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I thought mine would be around
105 total but the first act gets way bogged down. I know it needs changing
though! #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:15 pm
@SpockWriter: @SiFoulaReel That's quite an achievement in
itself though... I struggle to write just 10pgs sometimes... #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:15 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @SpockWriter This is actually my first new
feature in a couple of years, so it's nice to know I can still get there!
#scriptchat

that Black Widow spy movie now, for nothing. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:18 pm
@SpockWriter: @SiFoulaReel I'm in the process of writing my
first ever feature. and I'm near enough pg20... without no outline... *suicide*
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:18 pm
@teenierussell: @SiFoulaReel good luck! Is that your
priority now then? #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:18 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell I've got a lot of digitising to
do this week before I can edit, so hopefully will finish my feature...
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:19 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @teenierussell first draft this week, then
finish the pilot (only another 25pgs) before second drafting feature later in
May. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:20 pm
@Sandy_Nicholson: Finished act 1 of my first ever feature.
Got my skeleton done, just stuck escelating a scene to where it needs to go.
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:21 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @SpockWriter I didn't really outline my first
three features, and they turned out right (after lots of work!), so don't
worry... #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:21 pm
@teenierussell: Is anyone else submitting anything to BBC
Writers' room? #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:21 pm
@SiFoulaReel: @SpockWriter ...too much about that. If you're
passionate for the story & people, it should work out. #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:21 pm
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell I will be. A while ago I
wrote 2 episodes of something, now I've squashed them together for a nice pacey
pilot. #scriptchat

May 6, 2012, 7:23 pm
@SpockWriter: @SiFoulaReel I'm getting that sort of vibe
when I write without outlines/treatments - I bash the first draft out and see
what... #scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:23 pm
@teenierussell: @SpockWriter I'm terrible with outlines too
but getting better, it's all about patience, which I struggle with :-)
#scriptchat
May 6, 2012, 7:23 pm

working on two features, six part series and a handful of shorts. Greedy like
that.

their policy, does this also mean no more script development schemes?

interesting results, all to be revealed shortly... Anyone going to #GAPF this
year? #scriptchat

have more time to look through scripts rather than getting bombarded all year
