No Idea What To Write...

Blah. I have multiple potential projects, I suppose, but no clue what to work on for screnzy.

The one that's most developed is a possible graphic novel I'm working on with a friend, but she's away in April and I'm certainly not going to write the script without her (I'm already doing all of the art as it is).

There's two other story ideas I have, but they've yet to develop into coherent plots, and I'm a planning/preparation junkie.

The only one that's making sense is an adaptation of my webcomic into a radio drama/play (don't ask), but part of me would rather work on something different...

On the other hand, I'm going to a workshop on writing for the stage tomorrow, so I may get some ideas then.

(Apologies for inflicting my whining on you, I just wanted to rant some.)

RE: No Idea What To Write...

Same here, sugar. I quit writing several months ago and now only write to please myself. Been doing a lot, but thought I should try Screen Frenzy just to do s/t new. I have a couple ideas too but haven't outlined yet (not that I
mind having an outline and changing it on the fly as characters make me, ha ha).

Have you had time to sketch out even brief outlines or do treatments (I haven't checked out the Frenzy website thoroughly so don't know how much prior planning is kosher) of any zany ideas you've had in past but never tackled? Just a thought. Kind of, outline some things as if your ideas and characters were auditioning for the plum of being chosen to be your script.

RE: No Idea What To Write...

I've written a couple of screenplays since the last script frenzy, but none near a hundred pages. This time, I think I'm actually going to do some plot outlining, since last year my script my script didn't make any sense.

Doing a script for a comic would pretty awesome, too. By the way, Meems, what is your webcomic?

It's a dark future biopunk-type webcomic. Actually based on my NaNo from 2006.

I've got an idea of what to do now, thanks to the workshop I mentioned. (It's not a SANE idea--it's an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood involving war, insanity and the unconscious--but at leat it's an idea.) Now to actually plot it.

BTW as far as I'm aware any amount of planning is fine, so long as you don't use any of the exact text in the script.
