It is (more or less) complete...

Remember how back in June I was working on a script for ScriptFrenzy? I technically "won," by passing the 20,000 word mark. Yet I wasn't quite satisfied. What can I say? I'm a complete masochist.

Anyhoo, I finally completed "The Night Nurse," or got all of the important plot points I wanted in there at least. Hell, scripts get torn all to hell if they ever get made anyway. I shouldn't expect anyone to treat this one any differently. Then again, I highly doubt anyone would ever want to make this awful, yet epic, script into a movie.

Naturally, uploading to google docs ultimately screwed up some of my original formatting, but of course I'm too damn lazy to really fix any of it. It ain't pretty, but it's as close as done as it's going to be for awhile.

If anyone feels so inclined, here it is: "The Night Nurse: Working Title"

It ain't quite over yet...

So yeah, I made it to a 20,000 word screenplay in 30 days (actually a bit less). Unfortunately, it isn't quite finished yet. So, I'll see if I can use the time I have left to actually complete it (or at least have the plot hashed out on paper/hard drive). Compared to NaNoWriMo where I was scrambling to fulfill the proper word count, ScriptFrenzy! was one where I tried to cram too much in too little space. Admittedly though, I did occasionally slip into my fiction mode of writing where there is quite a lot of filler describing people, places and things as opposed to providing any advancement for the plot.

Nonetheless, there is a whole lot of plot to be had. Hypothetically, it could be two movies, but I think form and structure-wise, it would be a lot better as just one. I promise I'll post it like I did for NaNoWriMo...and I promise that it is a much more fun read than "312 East Main Street." I mean there are assassins, schoolgirls (if I get to the bit about the international assassin training school), torture scenes of people who really deserve it, mother/daughter dramatic turmoil about the expectations one has about the way the other leads her life, explosions, and at least one sex scene/montage.
