Screenwriting : Planning ahead by Paul Zeidman

Paul Zeidman

Planning ahead

Hey writers. What are your working on this weekend?

And a very happy Mother's Day to all writer moms and moms of writers too.

Phillip E. Hardy, Prolifique

Paul, my friend, I'm working on rewriting and polishing parts of an older script. I already have an actor interested in this one. Have a great weekend!

Steve Cleary

I'm working on my reverse werewolf Halloween comedy and having a hard time piecing it together. I think I'll just do a vomit draft to get it out of my system and move on to something else :^}

Jerry Robbins

Working on my western.

Brian Elias

I'm working on my "horror" script.... working/struggling lol

Craig D Griffiths

I have entire story except a plausible reason why these two people are in a room together. A good reason will be invisible to the viewer. A bad reason will land like a bomb

Imo Wimana Chadband

Me, I just did a little traveling back home to spend Mother's day with mom. I'm going to probably take it a little easy given I'm tired as hell! Intend to read a script and at least get some work in on my 3rd script, which is a horror. Who needs sleep right? :/

Dan Guardino

Nothing. I am not going to write anymore screenplays.

Craig D Griffiths

Dan Guardino ever?

Ana Dominique Mendoza

Glued in my seat. happy Mother's day to all!

Dan Guardino

Craig. Probably. I really just don't have the time anymore and I am tired of writing screenplays.

Jim Boston

Paul, I'm working on the second half of "Pixie Dust." In addition, I'm taking this weekend to tidy up two screenplays I originally typed out in the 1990s and one I wrote in the 1980s.

Been looking forward to this weekend.

Thanks for posting!

Cherie Grant

I'm working on new tv pilot and novelisation of my last pilot.

Teresa Barber

This weekend I feel like a tennis player competing against myself working on scripts.

I have a sci-fi and a thriller, sci-fi, thriller, sci-fi, thriller, I'm sure many of you understand.

Lisa Clemens

Just got to act three on a script I want to finish before May ends, but being mother's day and all, I'm taking a little break, not for myself and the day, I just can't kill off the main character's mother....yet!

Craig D Griffiths

Dan Guardino that is a shame and also something to celebrate. You should never do something that has no reward at all. Paying bills gives you a home and a lifestyle, working gives you money to pay bills etc. But if writing isn't feeding something you should use your time doing something that works for you. Time is the only think we can't get back. Use it wisely Dan. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Writing will be waiting here, just in case you come back.

Stephen Floyd

Draft two of a TV pilot. The first draft fleshed out the world and characters, now I need to refine the central conflict.

Dan Guardino

Craig. It isn't a shame at all. I just don't have time to write screenplays right now because my company is heading in a new direction and I need to be involved.

Juhani Nurmi

Writing a pilot to a historical mini-series. Don't want to be branded just a monster / high strangeness type of writer. Also polishing two older sci-fi scripts.

Anthony Lucas

Researching various cultures mythology to see what I can use.

Teresa Barber

Anthony Lucas That's how it happened to me. My Thriller just reached right out of a book and slapped me. Happy hunting!
