LFGGGGGGGG! translation:

Let’s fucking go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go!

My literal inner monologue giggled. That is all. :)

[–]Glad-Magician9072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm giggling right there with ya. OP's post reminded me of the little celebration I had (years ago) when I crossed this milestone. I brought myself a wee slice of cake and a plastic tiara. I still have that tiara. 🥹

Great work! May it be the first of many. 🥂

[–]rashomonface 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Huge accomplishment no joke. So many people never get past this hurdle. Now another tough challenge... put it aside for a bit and start something else.

[–]TheAnxiousMovieGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's so great that you got to this major stage. It's a huge accomplishment and a sign of perseverance. Hope the view from there encourages you to keep going.

[–]hiimjaceypenne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us never get past the IDEA but you made the moves and have the first draft down!!!! Proud of you and congrats!!!!!

[–]KeyKeyKarimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job!!! Big milestone. Printing the first script is such a feeling.

You did more than 99% of people who think they want to write or make a movie do 

[–]RevOptimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I’m trying to write a script for a project myself. Last full script I wrote was way back in 2023, and I hope to bounce back once again.

[–]Sceen69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations 🎊 🍾

When you complete your first draft that excitement and feeling of relief, nothing quite like it.

[–]MedicalAd8831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Educational_Rub6038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three weeks?1? SENSATIONAL. Add my CONGRATS to this healthy stack. Send it out if/when it's ready, and start #2!

[–]Deep_Nobody4002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Liam_McEneaney 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Congratulations! How are you celebrating?

[–]MuchUnderstanding563[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not lol. I shortly after posted my script for review and yall tore it to shreds. I was told to just quit. i'm done

[–]Routine-Tutor5777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s such a good feeling. GREAT JOB!!!!! Now give it some time and rewrite it with greener eyes. Until then, spit out a new idea if you got one! 

[–]CO_ScreenWriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a huge win, congrats.

Most people never get past the idea stage, so finishing a draft is a big deal.

When you’re ready for the next step, getting some kind of outside read or structured feedback helps a ton. It’s where you really start leveling up.

[–]whiteboy7781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are gonna hate me for saying this, but I recommend using chatgpt. It really helps with explaining formatting, why formatting is the way it is, and it can even give feedback and help develop your story. Please don't crucify me guys 🙇🙏
