RE: The Making of a Screenwriter

I'm a plotter. I started a novel / screenplay years ago and am still building out the world and characters and scenes one by one. It's like a sci-fi epic revolving around archetypes that show up in both sides of two warring planets.

But the project is not a main focus, something I use to escape from coding, etc.

I do plan to finish it and make it a movie though, then books.

Have those films been made? Any advice for that part, sending off the script?

Nice! My next WIP is a sci-fi. No, my scripts haven't been made into movies. Selling a screenplay is akin to finding a unicorn or four-leafed clover—it's not easy. But it does happen. First step is to write a full draft, and then rewrite it as many times as it takes to make it amazing. It's a long process, but a great escape. I can definitely relate to you using it as a break from coding. Happy writing!

Thank you, you too!!!
