I recently had a student who encountered a major obstacle in his script. He sent me an absolutely frustrated email telling me that he is no longer happy and doesn't like anything he wrote. After nearly six months of work, he is considering throwing the entire script into the trash can and starting a new one. Things. .
Have you ever felt that way? If you are a writer, you may have it. So before you dump the pages where you work hard, please know:
All writers have a large number of scripts stored in their unfinished files. Sometimes you hit the wall. Sometimes you lose power. Sometimes it takes only a month or even a year to deal with other things and you can get back to the origin.
There is nothing wrong with putting the script aside, unless it starts to become a habit. What happens to some writers is that whenever they encounter obstacles, they start new things. While this is very useful for keeping the flow - for those who are hobbyists, it can actually be a form of writer for a career ambition.
Professional writers need to complete the script. So, this is a trick I used to trick my brain into completing the script. Process two scripts at a time. In this way, you can respect your writing brain at one time and take a break while still knowing that you are moving toward your goal.
You will soon notice that when the content on one script becomes difficult, the other script becomes very attractive. It doesn't even seem to work anymore. Therefore, you want to set the current script and then start another script again.
Soon after, the things on the second script became more and more difficult, and suddenly the problem with the first script didn't seem so unbelievable. So you switch back, once again maintain this momentum, accept and respect your process in each script, and combine it with the needs of the industry.
As a nice side benefit, you'll find scripts that start to notify each other - when you're learning to write a script to improve the stuff of another script.
In addition, you may want to set aside a day to play games by creating interesting writing exercises that are independent of any script. Playing like this can keep your writing brain and often make a huge breakthrough in your project. Think of it as an important part of your daily work [such as stretching before exercise].
Keep the main focus on these two scripts [and no more than two!] You will have two completed drafts before you know it. The last sentence - remember that none of these drafts is important. What is important to them. Once you have a complete paper draft, you can always go back and modify it - even using two scripting techniques again during the editing process. You can't make any improvements until your script is on paper. But once it appears there, the possibilities are endless.
