I'm lisa , I love music , reading and drama series. I've been writing my first script for like 2 years now, it just keeps going on and on and on. I never went to school or took any classes for writing I just woke up one day and started writing. I learned from TY yes YT so I'm a baby in this but herself know I have a good story to tell. I want it to be like a soap opera. Example: All My Children.
Q. Do I stop now and try to get what I have edited and see if I can get picked up before I continue or do I keep going?

Hey,
I was thinking the exact same thing a few months ago and I was told to focus on the pilot if you want to get it pitched and hopefully produced by...

As if you can be wasting time etc by writing 20 episodes if it's not picked up.
Polish the pilot!
He's a great guy and has no reason to be full of it etc
Just thought I'd share that link to his profile, not a paid or arranged partnership.
I'm writing a children's television series and stopped before I went too far and now I'm focusing on the pilot and loosely mapping the future episodes.
Warm regards
John

I agree with John Kennedy, Lisa Milliner. Don't worry about writing other episodes. Polish the pilot episode. Also, do you have a show bible and a pitch deck? They'll help you pitch your show. If you wanna know more about a show bible and a pitch deck, let me know.
