Stop the clock! Done ✅ 📕

The novel is written in first draft form as well now! #Blackout

That’s a 4 day write time! Yes, I used the screenplay as my basis. Yes it’s well shorter than my other books. But it’s all story.

What’s amazing is that I only had the idea exactly 6 weeks ago today, yet now I have it finished in both screenplay and book formats.

Next up I’ll dive back into the script. I’ll see what needs changing, what needs improvement. Then it’ll be back to the book.

Though short, it’s still more words than The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and both of those made great books and wonderful films.

Here’s dreaming…

✅ Done! #Blackout

I’m super thrilled to share that I’ve just finished my second #screenplay in what’s been a super quick write. I’ve only taken 3 full days and 4 bit days to write this one. An idea that only came to me in August. Once I shared it with my family they insisted I write this one immediately.

I’ll begin the novel on Monday making this whole concept easily the quickest yet from initial idea to written first draft.

An it’s a brilliant idea and will make an epic thriller movie one day plus a page turning read.

I can’t wait for you to see it…

Creativity looks so beautiful 🤩

Now I’ll let it percolate in my mind for a bit. Are there better scenes I can add? More twists, more layers, more brilliance. Can I improve it at the pre writing stage?

I follow the three act model. 14 orange stickers for act 1 leading to plot point 1. 28 yellow stickers for act 2, with the midpoint falling halfway and plot point 2 landing to transition the script to act 3, the blue stickers. (The colour is not important though I like using three different ones to separate the acts). 14 cards leading to the final scene. 56 in total. 120 pages (or less) of script, making a 2 hour film (1 page = 1 minute of film 🎞).

I discovered Final Draft 12 when writing my first screenplay last year and absolutely loved it! Having purchased it now for life, I’m looking forward to using it again (and again).

Ps - this one is going to be called Blackout, a thriller with a classic Tim Heath twist to keep you guessing and to keep the tension building.

And #Blackout is planned!

Just like that, 56 scenes that make up three acts of my screenplay are down.

Now for the fun part… writing the thing!

Another #screenplay, another #story now to be told, to be created. It starts right here.

One day it might be a film. One day it will be a book. Right now it’s in my head. Let’s get this party started!

4 random ish photos…

The cats, because they are cute and I’ve not posted a photo of them for a while.

Then today I submitted Salva to the LAISA… exciting (and sent the book to my editor)

Finally, was given a spare ticket to see John Cleese live in Tallinn.

All in a day.

Yay!

Did it! 🍾🎊🎉

The book version of my first #screenplay titled #salva has now been written in first draft form. It’s only taken me 8 days as well.

What an awesome feeling. Both versions will need a little more work. I’ve definitely got a better feel for the piece now I’ve written the book. I’ll hope to use this to improve the script.

This is the same screenplay that I’ve already received some wonderful feedback on so hopefully things only get better.

I know it’s a long way from where I want things to be. Selling books is hard. Selling scripts too.

But I’m thankful to God that I get to do this.

Plus, it’s our 21st wedding anniversary today too. Double celebration 🍾

My writing ✍️ season starts today.

First up, a first for me. After writing my first #screenplay last year, I’m going to create the novel version now which, once done, I’ll use reflexively to improve the screenplay and so on. Hopefully by the end of it all I’ll have a top class script ready to shoot and a first rate novel ready to read.

That’s the plan anyway 😂
