Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum.
My script idea has been on the "back burner" for years, during which time my note book has gotten many infrequent entries.
Now over the last 3 weeks, I've done 200 pages of treatment notes and in the last week I've done a step outline on 60 file cards. The step outline took 5 hours alone. I can also see all the plot structure in my mind's eye but I still need to figure the characters out further.
I've been kept awake at night thinking about it, waking up from sleep to take notes and generally DRIVING my Wife mad! I expect that I'm into a "manic creative stage", has anyone else been like this? Is it a normal working mindset?
It seems to me that the life of a writting can be a sleepless one. Should I have a film industry friend read my step-ouline to see if the script is worth doing?
This is my first one.
