Finished?!

[beccaelizabeth]

Rather unexpectedly, I have finished the first draft of my script.
Unexpected because I thought I had a bunch more pages to do and some plot, but I reached a certain line and realised everything after that was 'and then it all worked out exactly as they planned, until the bit that sets up the next story', and really, I can leave that out entirely or put it in the next story. The final choice moment has just been written.

:-D

It sucks, of course. It's a first draft. And I think my final argument has more pages in it than the rest of the script. And it wanders off in directions I don't need. And there's a few things that get explained at least five times each, and really, I can trim those a bit. And there's entire pages where I don't know what I was trying to do but I clearly didn't do it because nothing happens. I can pull those out. Or make something happen. But I have a lot of pages.

But the actual point is:

I have finished a first draft of my original made it all up myself script.
Party!

... I shall go get breakfast at Morrisons. And possibly buy donuts. Big party spender I...


Next I just need to type it up and start finding people to read it and say which bits in particular suck. Or rock. But I expect rather more of the one than the other.
