Done!...But the story isn't finished.

I finished my 100 pages, and my screenplay, but the story isn't done. Anyone else planning a sequel?

RE: Done!...But the story isn't finished.

You've got a few more days in April - keep writing! If you have enough story material for a sequel, that's great. If the story just isn't wrapped up at 100 pages, keep going on the same script. I know I tend to write fat first drafts, especially for NaNo/Frenzy because I'm finding my way through the story for the first time. I include lots of scaffolding and shoe leather. Right now I'm 5 pages from "winning" but at least 30-40 pages from wrapping up my story. But there's probably at least 30 pages of cruft that can be cut from my script now that I've got a better handle on the story.

I was in the same boat. I just kept writing until the story was finished at an unwieldy 147 pages. Yikes! I'm gonna have fun cutting this baby down.
