No words…Should have sent a poet…
Posted by Neil Brimelow | Filed under Waveland Script
I never thought having -too- many words would be a problem when writing fiction. Unfortunately, words are a commodity in the screenwriting trade. Too few and you ain’t got nothing. Too many, and you “flood the market” and thus devalue your work.
Sure, there are things that can, and will be cut out, but I doubt I’ll be able to get the script under 160 pages, finished. I just have so much stuff going on, it’s just impossible to wrap up everything in 120 pages.
I will finish this damn thing. THIS WEEK.
Then the rewrite. SINGULAR. I edit and correct my work on the fly, so I am not going to be mired down long in rewrites.
Besides, I have other projects that I need to complete as well. Projects that don’t have a psychic, indestructible cat, Nazis, zombies, baby coffin salesmen, dynamite buses, immortals, monsters, dynamite buses, androids, wooly mammoths, and a boy named Teddy.
