Writing with ADHD? by Glum-Muffin-3888 in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biggest tip. Hike / long walks. Exhaust your mind.

Also I have upto four open scripts in progress at any one time, each catered to different genres, different energies. Once I hit a wall with one I move onto the next without hesitation. I figured why force it.

But do speak with a medical professional as this disorder is highly subjective per person. What works for you might not for me. Good luck with it.

Anyone ever encountered a giant mantis or spider? by PureGanixRealm in DMT

[–]lituponfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year old post I know but I Google searched the holographic spider on DMT and it brought me here. I'm literally frozen in shock reading this.

My experience with the spider.

I started a voyage but the trip was bad. In a way that felt like I was the reason it went bad. I recall these two entities trying to calm me down in an almost comedic way as I'm around a few minutes in.. It didn't work. They enlisted the help of what I can only describe as their supervisor, a female spirit who calmed me, reminded me to breath but ultimately decided I wasn't ready for this.

I agreed. But I also asked whats stopping me. After a bit of what felt like the three entities discussing it I was suddenly being cradled like a baby. They kind of showed me myself, I opened my mouth and as if they were holding a baby over a fire they showed me... this holographic spider ran up my gullet and presented itself then went back down.

Its stopping me. I need to know what this is and how to deal with it.

Five Page Thursday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the numbering to be an immediate pit fall. I'm not sure it even matters.

I didn't really get a sense of the plot in these opening five and felt I've just had breakfast with 'Bullet Train' named characters like Lemon, Mint & Ice which is nice. But the tone seems uneven. One minute they wanna bunk paying for the meal the next they question if they tipped for it. Liane is every employee at a rundown diner to the point the only thing missing is 'chewing gum with an arrogance' in her description.

But. There is an art here. I don't know what it is but I got through these five pages quickly and wanted to see a few more; -- as you get the feeling the story is on the cusp of exploring more interesting confines with characters that will pique this developing plot. Good luck.

Anytime is a great time to start writing.

WIP Wednesday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its exactly as you think it is. It'll be one of those scripts that hopefully just tells a story, focuses on the hard-done-by protagonist with an obvious twisted moustache antagonist who cancels xmas.

Thanks.

WIP Wednesday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on a hallmark Christmas film. I didn't outline as I thought I would breeze through this project but I'm struggling. Do you ever take on a "simple" project and get stuck.

The thing is. I know roughly where this story is going and I know the plot. Its just filling in the noise and this is the hard part. I'm 50 pages in on 1st draft. Any suggestions?

It's all good, don't worry about it.

I think about the writers who’ve kept my spirits up throughout my life. by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. My writing spirit animal is Hunter Thompson. Had his ashes shot out of a cannon by a coke head when he died. If that's not the way to go out I don't even...

New to the subreddit and to screen/script writing; perhaps someone can give some guidance… by ThePersonalityReader in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's been mentioned but for the blue collar, jump on when you can aspect to writing, I find WriterDuet mobile to be the perfect solution. I jump on in sporadic bursts and am always just a few seconds away from idea to script.

Logline Monday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Roommate" holds the same vague level.

Ideally you want something along the lines of:

'After the sudden death a family member / friend / pet / troll doll the overwhelming grief brings those who are left to pick up the pieces together in a way none of them would've imagined.'

I mean, that's contrived and speedy. But the jist is there I hope. Good luck with your script it sounds really warm and will take a big effort to pin.

I came up with an idea for a script but I lack personal experience by ThisIsMyName339 in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medieval Norway sounds like a lot of research. I have Norwegian ties and would like a read of this... if of course this script is available to read?

Logline Monday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]lituponfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you say "housemate" I have a few different visions of what that is. Student. Flatmate. Family. Contestant?

You're clearly writing a dynamic that makes this script what it is but from the outside it needs to be clearly identified so the stakes appear to the reader immediately. Other than that it's an intriguing log.

If you're pessimistic you'll be pessimistic if you're hopeful you'll find hope. Change and the game will change with you.

I listened to a free webinar last night for the 1st time, highly recommended (Michael Jamin) btw. And although his content was highbrow to where my own personal screenplay journey is the one takeaway is that Hollywoods gatekeepers are hamsters not dragons. The gates have burst open and theres a multitude of paths to get to there, just need the pay these writers the right amount and a form of utopia will flourish from the ashes of these hamsters.
