Week Two

OK, it took me a long time to write this post because I'm ashamed of myself. I got some work done on my feature but it was not a lot.
Excuse time: I had actually written two short films this week instead of my feature.
To be honest I don't think that I'll get anything done on this feature this year. Thank God this year only has a few more weeks. I have to write two short films for two contests that I'm entering which both are due at the end of December. So I have given myself some time off from my feature to concentrate on my two entries. So I'll be writing just not on my feature (in my spare time, if I have any, I will do some work on the feature).
So wish me luck on my two shorts, of course will keep inform on the writing.
The new year will bring my full concentration on the feature.

Week One

So week one has come and gone. Progress has been made but not a whole lot. I have written my premise line to my script, written character descriptions and brief outline of the story. It's a slow procedure but at least I am getting things done.
I am sure I could have written more but I had other things on my plate. I don't want to make excuses...but I will. I spent most of last week getting my grant proposal for Vivacité Montréal. Even though I filled out the grant I know I won't get it because I don't have enough experience...whatever.
Week two will be better and hopefully all the prework will be done and I can boast about pages that are actually written. There's no joy in looking at a blank screen and seeing nothing written on it.
'Til next week.

The beginning....

Hi all, I am currently experiencing writer's block.
This happens to me a lot because I like to over think things. I can never let my creative mind take over when I write because everything has to be perfect. I will sit and ponder a sentence for the longest time (this sentence alone took me several minutes to write because I was looking for the perfect way to phrase it).
The reason I have created this blog is to help me get over my Writer's Block and to document my progress on a spec script that I am trying to write. I am hoping that having to answer to people out in cyber space will force me to get over this most annoying obstacle.
So here is my vow:

"I, Kathy promise to write something for my script, whether it be a sentence, a page or scene everyday."

You are all witnesses.

Wish me luck.
Kathy
