How to write the script for your production.
First of all you have to start. It sounds obvious but if you don't start you'll never finish, your idea will just keep rattling around in that big old head of yours, getting superceded with other ideas like 'I want some chilli' and 'Should I have sex tonight or just watch some telly?' and the totally unrelated 'Hmmm, my shed roof is leaking'.
You can waste a lot of time reading other scripts and blogs on writing, you can even get some great books on the subject (like Blake Snyders Save the Cat) but ultimately it's all just procrastinating cos you're scared that, you know, it's big, and it's your baby, and what if you screw it up or -gasp!- people mock it?!
I've mixed and matched the advice on this and come up with the following;
Get some flash cards & write each major event in your idea on each flash card
Put these flash cards in order and insert, move or remove flash cards to get from one event to another.
Start writing a page a day. No more, but certainly no less. A page per flash card if you can. Set aside time to do it: get up half an hour earlier each day, or do it in your lunchbreak, or between dinner and tv, or before you go to bed- whenever works for you, just do it. One page per day. One page = 60s screen-time. 90 days = a feature length film.
Sounds easy doesn't it? Well, like the sneaker said buddy, just do it.
