Introduce Yourself : Should i write another script by Nicholas P

Would you like to obtain more opportunities or stop with the one? If so, you have to continue writing.

Tasha Lewis I might have one more in me. It's more to continue on with another story.

Nick, what I tell my clients in this situation is to make a list of pro's and a separate list of con's for writing another script. Step away from the lists, come back, and the decision is usually clear.

Geoff Wise It's going to take a lot of brainstorming. I got all night to think it over

Always write another! Start with an outline and logline to make sure of the story you want to tell first.

Well I thought it over Zach Tirone I'm going to write another one. I thought about the story line. I have part of it palnned.

If there is a story in you that needs to get out, then by all means -- write!

Writer's write, am I right?

When you finish a screenplay you should already have another one started. The industry needs to know you can not only make great work, but consistently make great work.

Cannon Rosenau you are right. Chance Owen I'm going to keep going and write. Julia Petrisor It was emotional because they were real life experiences that happened. Bradley M. Look Your right. I will

Life goes on. Youll get past it. Writing my story roughneck took a total emotional collapse, counseling, and facing my deepest traumas. I found my true self in there and came out of it better than ever. Take it a day at a time and move forward. Take care of yourself mind and body. Youre only human man, one day at a time.

As Liz Gilbert said so eloquently, "Just because it needs to be written, doesn't mean it needs to be read." If you feel compelled to write it, then please do. After that, you can decide whether or not it needs to be read by anyone else. Maybe it's just for you.

Robert Russo That I did realize that I needed to work through the traumas. Karen "Kay" Ross I do have more to say with my own words.

It helps to have someone to talk through the trauma with because if you relive the trauma alone while writing your story, it reinforces the "I am alone and suffering" subconscious feeling that is how the trauma started in the first place. When I wrote Roughneck, I actually re-traumatized myself by going it alone. It was the worst experience of my life to be honest. So always have support when confronting that type of thing. You can also treat trauma with a number of things like trauma release exercises, somatic experiencing, floatation therapy, acupuncture, etc. Theres many ways to treat the effects of trauma. PM me anytime.

When your work drains you, emotionally, that's when you know you have created something that's is living and breathing. I know that I've had many readers comment to me that the work left a presence on the page. Shake them up. Don't be afraid to go back to the well and use it for inspiration.

Robert Russo I had to bring that trauma out in order for there to be emotion. Each character brought out that emotion, even the villain. Michael A Cantu I have to see what's in my well for it to work.

Julia Petrisor I have looked through the script, and I have moved past it. The idea is to see what next for the next script. I have ideas. It will be a she hero.

The thing with trauma is that it is so painful we suppress it. This suppression causes ALL emotional openness to be suppressed. So you’re not fully living as you’re true self because you’re buried under this layer of trauma. The difficult part is that to get beyond the trauma you must face it once again and grieve and process it and feel it. But how to do this when you’re already suppressing it? It takes a lot of effort and a lot of pain to bring it out to the surface to finally let it go. Writing or talking about it and letting it come out a bit at a time is helpful because if you try to face it all at once then it can be overwhelming and retraumatize you even worse. This is often what happens when people use mind altering drugs to access things with no emotional dampening available. It is such a shock they just cause PTSD from having to face the full pain without any emotional regulation.

I have decided to write another. Robert Russo I dealt with the trauma and will continue.
