Hi All,
So whats new?
Recently finished the second draft of the script which was then sent off to the lead writer at Long Arm Films, James Gillingham. He replied with some amazing comments about the script that will seriously assist me in the coming drafts.
One thing that you could all help with, is we need a new name for the young female character. She needs a name that can be shortened. As it stands her name is Poppy, and her nickname is Popsie. So if anyone has any suggestions get in touch.
So... five days, 3106 words, roughly 15 pages... the first draft script for "Writers Block" is now complete
