Good Christ...

It's 1.20pm, and I've completed the first draft of a 15-minute horror-comedy script called Doomsayer.

Maybe because the idea had been percolating in my mind for a while now, it just seemed to pour out onto the screen. By 12.20, I was on the tenth page.

Of course, just because I've written 15 pages in two-and-a-half hours, doesn't mean they're necessarily any good. And speed of writing clearly means nothing, in itself. But Doomsayer now exists in first-draft form, nonetheless.

Bloody hell. I'm shocked. Won't look back over it for a while now.

Time for lunch...

Thankyou, madam. How'd you think yours turned out? Did it end up being ten pages?

potdoll said...

no, fourteen.

i haven't read it back yet. i think it is ropey but I'm hoping when I get back to it there will be a glimmer of hope.

Not going to read it for at least a couple of days. Maybe longer.

Well done us!!!
