I just finished Scene One! I'm so proud!
True, it took me five years to write it (at this rate I'll be done in 2104), but I don't care; my screenplay is underway!!

Drinks are on me!

3. Scene One, huh?
Finished? FINISHED?

Oh, Sweetie. Sweet, innocent...

So your notes and outline are sufficiently complete and this is the beginning of your front to back write?

5. I finished the first draft of scene one.
Is that better? :-)

The notes and outline have been worked and refined over the last five years. It's just time to write the damn thing. :D

10. Yup.
This is the part where it gets to be work.

BUT....if you get lucky....and the thing comes alive in your brain...it can become like automatic writing. Things will appear on the page and you just stare wondering how they got there.

Just remember that while you're sweating every word, actors never bother to get them right.

And the director will cut them anyway because this is film and the director rules and the writer is a minion.

Good luck. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck.

7. Very cool.
Right now it seems to be pouring out of me. Almost like it's been locked up for too long. :beer:

9. One Heineken coming right up!
This is very appropriate because scene two takes place in a bar.
