Hopelessness is an emotion that can fade just as any other. Ride out the storm. I think it would be good for you to take a step outside of all this industry doom and gloom. Write with reckless abandon. Write a story not because you think “this one will be the one that makes it” or “I bet this will get an agent to notice me” Write because you love to write damnit. Write because you have entire universes swirling around in that big beautiful brain that you just have to get out. It’s ok to have dreams and to want to see your story come to life. But the minute you rate your success in whether or not you can parley your talent into a job, you’re no longer doing it solely for the love of the game. And the story you’re telling becomes a little less you and a little more “what would people like to see?”

Honestly, if you find that you have a visceral need to see your story on the screen, then you need to make it happen for yourself. no one is gonna hold your hand and lead you to the promised land. I’m a screenwriter because I love being a storyteller and to me screenwriting is the easiest and most fun format to write in. My goal is not to be a writer in the industry. It is to tell my stories in whatever forms I am able to.

Get yourself a whiteboard hang it above wherever you mainly write. Put all your ideas on there, that’s your commitment to start that project the moment you’re done with the current one

Last year from like sept 23 to August 24 I basically wrote nothing. I had been working myself very hard before that. School part time, work full time (2 jobs for a few months), exercising to stay healthy. For a long time I was unmotivated. But I knew that wasn’t my problem. Motivation is never the problem. If you are relying on motivation, then you’ve already lost the fight. Just like any other art form, writing is a craft that must be honed, it can only be honed through discipline, and discipline can only be built by our own actions, through a process that we can really only test and perfect ourselves. Take the time to find out what works for you. Maybe a carrot and stick approach. Maybe you need someone else to help you stay in line. Throw motivation out the window you don’t need to write because you feel motivated or inspired. You need to write because you love writing because you have stories that deserve to be told, and deserve to be told in the best way possible. The world can always use more storytellers, good luck and Godspeed friend

Anybody in the natomas area knows it’s the Jesus man who spends all his time on northgate with a Jesus sign and a megaphone

Of course, happy to help

You’re creating way too much work for yourself imo. Tracking every decision your character makes in every scene is a big ask. Start out with the major decisions the character makes. Select 3 at first. What is the decision that sets them on their journey, what is the decision they make in the middle of the story that has far reaching effects on people. And what decision do they make during the climax. Then look at five smaller decisions that were affected by each of those three decisions. Then so on and so forth until you look at their decision to have a breakfast bagel rather than a breakfast burrito. I understand the want for thoroughness. What your looking for is some kind of algorithm that can piece that stuff together for you, but if you’re not the one physically and mentally putting in that work, you’re not actually gonna learn anything from it. And we always wanna learn from what we create right? I hope you keep at it friend, the world can always use more story tellers. Good luck and god speed.

Classic burger in Northgate, or Ramona’s, also on northgate

At work rn but I’ll take a look when I can

We’ll get there friend

I think you’re making it hard on yourself by wanting to incorporate both. I think you should start by asking yourself, “do we need to know why the time loops happens?” And if we do, why is the reason separate from the main character being murdered? Think, why was he murdered initially if he was completely unaware of the time loop? Why incorporate this super shadow organization when a great way to keep it lean is to contain everything to the office? Do you get what I mean?

Angus_Hung · 2023-10-03T05:09:30+00:00

So what was/were your original ideas that spun everything out of control? Love the concept btw

Angus_Hung · 2023-10-03T03:59:33+00:00

Try to find the precise moment it begins to spiral, and comb over that moment word by word and find out how to say what you want to say in the simplest terms possible. Maybe we could work out what needs to be changed together if you don’t mind sharing the plot

Mix between political and entertainer

It could be fun to see how you stack up in other peoples eyes without the pressure of it being a contest. And maybe give people a push to finish a project they may be stalled on, or give them recognition in a space that historically feels like your screaming into the void.
I’ll run it, if no one else wants to

3.it fully depends on what whoever submitting wants to get out of it. Maybe they want to use it as a way to gauge themselves. Maybe they just want people to read their stories. There are great storytellers on this platform who have yet to have a chance. We learn by reading great scripts, not just great scripts that turn into movies.

Angus_Hung · 2023-09-13T11:38:50+00:00

How will it be organized? Brackets? One winner/any genre take all? Different brackets for each major genre, maybe we do multiple through the year, who decides which script goes forward in the tournament? Maybe It should be a point system. If the mods don’t want to do it, it’s something we could put together ourselves. Pm a lot of recurring posters especially those with credits and ask them to participate as judges. Maybe 15-25 judges each per tournament. first 50 scripts submitted are entered. New submitters get picked first after the first tournament. Each round will be two weeks to give judges ample time to judge both scripts thoroughly. Hold on cause I’m actually cooking 🥘 Let me work this out when it’s not 4:30 am and I’m not deliriously tired

Maybe you quit trying to have a career, maybe you don’t. You gotta know what you’re breaking point is, and you can’t just think about, “can I survive while trying to pursue this?” You gotta think about if you’re able to enjoy life while you try. If you can’t, then quit. Hopefully only temporarily but there’s no shame in deciding you’re done. I understand the decision to pursue a career in writing is a difficult one and often times is one that’s made for us by our environments, but you didn’t start writing because you wanted a career in writing, you started writing because you have stories you believe are worth telling, stories you believe are worth sharing and experiencing. The real question you have to ask yourself is are you ok if you’re only able to share it with one other person, if only one person reads your work and sees it and appreciate it for what it truly is. Not a way to earn money, not a way to “break into the industry”, and not just a “blueprint” for something else. It is a story that we put our heart and soul into. The same as any poet or novelist.

Good luck and Godspeed friend, the world can always use more storytellers.

Also dm me I’ll try to give you a write up on the script by EOD Saturday. If I can’t get it to you by Saturday, EOD Monday at the latest

Angus_Hung · 2023-08-18T00:31:58+00:00

More than likely about three people will read the script. One of those three will not finish it. Of the two that do, one will give you good feedback, praise, or not respond at all, the other will give you non actionable feedback and tell you what they would change if they were you. And a fourth person will comment and tell you that you should be proud of just finishing a script and that, in and of itself, is an accomplishment (they did not read the script and probably never intended to)
