Finally finished the first draft of the new screenplay!
Whew. There were moments I thought I’d never get it done.
It takes a while for me to write a book, but a screenplay usually only takes 6 to 8 weeks. I even wrote one of them, including rewrites, in under a month.
But this one…this one took more than 5 months! I worked on this thing from early October until mid-March.
It was, at times, absolutely tortuous. Especially since I never, throughout the entire 5 months, got into my normal writing flow. I had to simply plug away. Word by word, sentence by sentence, page by page.
But it worked! I got it done.
Anyway…
I’ve written a preliminary logline.
Logline: After a sudden death at a party is labeled an accident, a confused woman must prove it is murder before the killer kills again.
It doesn’t truly show the flavor of the script, which is a bit of a comedy. Hope I come up with a better one by the time I complete the rewrites!
