I am trying to get back into my writing, so what I do is look over my ideas (again and again) and then also see what else I may have actually started writing in Final Draft...
So I found these. All these were written w/o an outline (see how that can backfire first hand) and were mostly me just writing Act One to express the concept and get feedback on it...
1. 35 pages of unfinished project that I loved concept, but not sure it was right take. Got so many opinions on it and have too many ideas, but I told myself just write one and see what happens. It's pretty good, but I may have written a movie that they don't make anymore. A funny comedy. Just kidding, but it may accidentally be a 90s vibe, when I was going for action-comedy.
2. 14 pages on an idea I've loved for 20 plus years but somehow never wrote any version of it until I did last year. I had to update it for 2023 as most comedy ideas don't always age well...
3. 36 pages on a college comedy idea I was working on that has a flawed premise, yet I think would get reads due to the premise so who gives a **** if they never make it.
So obvious answer on what to write next is to finish these. I always used to complete every spec I wrote... got into some bad habits in my old age.
Anyway , does anyone have a folder of unfinished work? I know the answer is yes. Share. Purge. Write. Finish.
The real question is -- how do we finish these specs?
