Any Screenwriters On The Board??

[playahaitian]

I tell you what, it feels so good to be back riding again. I came up with a chilling and to the second novel, though I am nowhere near 50% done with it.

This ending here would scare the shit out of anyone. I paid homage to Pulp Fiction, "You lost your LA privileges" But I tell you if someone said to you what my character said to the antagonist you would definitely be terrified.

I think I'm going to approach my novel and other works differently from now on. Instead of trying to write it all from start to finish, I'm going to break it up into sections, right the sections and put them together like a puzzle later on. That way it doesn't seem so daunting

The naughty nurse Chronicles is going to be the shit

I think that's a good way to go, because somethings will just seem to want to go together.

When I wrote my screenplay, I actually had the end before I had the beginning. Yes, the end was written first.
It was like I was already at the destination, now it's a matter of which way (of many) do I take to get back home. I know it sounds crazy, but that's how it was for me.

Those are actually very common text book ways to approach your work

WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU!

if it keeps you inspired engaged and interested? It's perfect.

I've seen idex cards, legal pads, time lines, bulletin boards and even someone record the whole book with a tape recorder. In fact there is a VERY famous and successful romance novelist that did this in the 60s and 70s and some others.

Really at this point as much as I hate AI? If you use chatgpt just to get your thoughts together to firm an outline?

That's fine too.

I'm still refining my logline, this is another version of it.

"After accepting an innocuous gift, a poised real estate
broker inadvertently triggers a series of mystical occurrences
which lead to a lethal confrontation with a murderous nihilist
who imperils human existence."

I'm not going to use AI at all. The fact that they have AI that can write my novel in 20 minutes that it's taking me months to complete is sickening. Because it won't be able to do it like people do it.

AI should be for jokes and jokes songs and silly shit, not writing novels, writing books writing movies or anything like that. Leave the creation to creatives.

As far as an outline, I was literally sick the day they taught outlines in school. I had the chickenpox

Also, people are stupid and nihilist, I had to look up myself. I was willing to look it up, most people won't. The fact that he was murderous means defining nihilist may not be necessary, but maybe "killer who believes life is meaningless"

I hate that we have to compensate for the ignorant and unintelligent, but 70 million people did vote for Trump, I'm just saying

There are plenty of murderers who are not nihilistic. In it's simplistic form, a nihilist is a person who believes that nothing in life really matters, because we're all going to die anyway.

Whereas there can be many reasons why people commit murder that has nothing to do with nihilism. For instance, some murder because of infidelity; some for greed, some for revenge, some just for power, some just for kicks.

Since no one is paying me to write, I'm not under pressure to perform. I wrote the story for me, but I'm sharing it with everyone. So I'm not going to dumb the story down for anyone.

I think that that's one of the problems with movie screenwriters; they write a certain way, because they don't want the audience to have to think too much. Fuck that, it doesn't hurt to think.

My story isn't for everyone but I enjoyed writing it, so I've already won. Now if I'm lucky, others will enjoy it and there's no telling after that.

Here's a possible poster idea for my story.
I did the image in Midjourney...

I get it 100%. I can't wait to read it
