I, as many can attest to, am an aspiring screenwriter. i enjoy writing in general, and love making short stories, not to mention writing articles. I run
Scared Yet .Net, and write for
Planet Half-Life , but ultimately i would like to write movies.
I suppose i could PM this to you, but i figured it could benefit others as well . Plus i love abusing the fact that i have been here forever and get away with shit that would get others slapped around :D
My wife struck a deal with me recently. Basically, she would excuse me for 30 minutes daily, no matter what kind of stuff needs to be done around the house, to work on a screenplay, suggesting that if i was consistent, eventually i would finish something that i could sell.
On top of that, you commented in my story
The Safe that you thought this was something i should consider (writing movies), so i figured i would pick you brain for any advice you might have for someone who wants to eventually quit "real work" for a career in screenwriting.
I have 2 plotlines i am going ot be workingon, one is a serious horror with a decent amount of action. the other is very non-serious action horror. thinkSnakes on a plane (which i havent seen, just the concept) with a healthy dose of critters, arachnaphobia, and maybe some gremlins in the mix.
Pretty please?
