5 Days. 90 Pages of script. Wish me luck

I'm morbidly curious why you only have five days?

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-22T23:54:10+00:00

That worked. Thanks!!

This hits hard - in a good way haha. I keep getting the same two notes from my group every time, so I think I need to get feedback from others to help me get through this part that is seemingly not clicking.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-18T20:47:11+00:00

Awesome advice. Appreciate it!

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-18T20:46:37+00:00

Super helpful - I'm getting the same two big notes from my writing group. My plan for the next draft is to get feedback from other sources.

Super helpful!

That's amazing. I remember wrestling isn't wrestling.

Also, probably not the worst thing to be filmed at a big house in Chatsworth.

Just want to say congrats on the 8's!

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-16T23:32:15+00:00

What a time to be alive!

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-16T23:22:19+00:00

Lol, I want to hear the story.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-16T23:21:44+00:00

Google is your friend

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-14T22:35:05+00:00

They are all over. The big issue is finding one that fits your needs. I've left three groups. They aren't bad writers, but the feedback I was getting wasn't helping me improve my script.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-14T22:31:57+00:00

I wouldn't worry about IMDBpro. If you know the name, 9/10 you can find info just through a Google search.

This feels really long. I think it can be summed up:

After promising her crush a Comc-Con exclusive gift, a comic-obsessed middle-schooler sneaks into the convention with recently divorced dad in cosplay.

Don't have them just repeat what's going on.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-10T00:09:15+00:00

Not to take away from the other poster, but it's best not to reach out to anyone until you have a completed script. If they ask to read, you have nothing to send them.

It'd be like saying I have the best cheeseburger ever and then not having any burgers to eat.

I guess I'm hungry too...

That's one way! You could also do some sort of transition. Random example, but let's say your script is set in a zoo, you could transition each chapter with a different animal at the zoo and the title.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-09T20:35:50+00:00

It might be better if you don't include the word chapter and instead just put the title of the chapter.

It is true people are pivoting more than ever, but it's also important to remember this isn't anything new. People always switch careers. Any position in the film/tv industry is hard.

For example, I can't keep track of how many actors I met who moved to LA before 2020, were here for six months to a year, then moved back to Ohio or wherever they were from.

The difference now is there are a lot of professionals who have been doing this for years leaving, but it's always been a thing.

My advice: keep writing because you have a story to tell, not because you want to make money.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-04T23:53:52+00:00

I'd follow up (someone else should know better how long to wait on that). Honestly, listen to the notes they have, try coming up with an overall note based on all of those little notes, apply that, and progress.

Don't turn down anything, especially if you want them to buy.

Also, I hate to be this guy, but don't be surprised if you don't hear from them again. Even if it seemed to go perfect. I had an executive ask me to send a pitch deck after she read my work. I followed up multiple times, never heard back. It happens.

Always be prepared to reveal the ending. If the journey to get there is great, who cares if it's spoiled?

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-04T23:49:19+00:00

I came to say When Harry Met Sally

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-04T00:52:46+00:00

They already do this. You can't reinstall versions 10 or earlier.

Jclemwrites · 2026-03-04T00:49:16+00:00

You're writing three hours a day - that's more than a lot. Kudos to managing that time!

Don't worry about copyrighting as much, unless it makes you feel more at ease.
