So, I have sort of a plot, and I have written a page and a half.
Now I keep checking to see how many pages I have as if they will magically multiply, still not there. I do wish I had something that excited me....

At least you have pages. I've got a really solid idea and can't find my starting point with it. It's going to be a long week ahead, I think.

Is it a bad thing that I've finished my first screenplay for NYCM? Romance is not my go to area. However, this actually came together rather quickly. Anyway, good luck to all.

At least you have sort of a plot. I have 12 pages written in invisible ink.
Does anyone else get absolute brain freeze and creativity paralysis for days on end?

Oh man when I got my assignment did I have that sinking feeling... It was over three days before I even started writing. The thing that kept me going was the thought that if it's this hard for me, it might be this hard for other people.
I can only do this by letting go of my natural insistence on perfection. I think most of the battle is just being OK with what you're able to produce.

Haha, you have hit the nail on the head for this one. I do have 7 pages done, and 2 days 10 hours to go, so I am hopeful. Usually I am an idea person, just ran outa gas on this one.

I've written nothing.
NOTHING. 3 half baked ideas and none of them are vaguely comedic or romantic.

Oh no, what are your other prompts? I'm in the middle of a re-write. Lost all perspective on whether it's improving or if I'm making things worse. Eeeeep! Good luck pal
