Script Frenzy

Sitting about halfway through April, I'm also sitting about halfway through my script. Maiden of pain is turning out pretty good in my opinion, though I should be a little further along than I am currently. The characters are getting well fleshed out, the plot is moving along well (and making sense). I think I even have the theme growing nicely.

I've mentioned my script idea in a couple of previous posts, including how I plan to actually expand it into a proper novel. So far I've gone through the main opening, have begun to progress along transformative phase, and have been pushing the limits on my serial killer's murder spree. The male lead is going nuts slowly, and the female lead is loving every minute of it. I've read a couple of gems of dialogue to a few people, who have been pretty happy with them and are eager for more.

Now that I'm crossing the halfway point, I need to grow the love sub-plot, push the spree over the top and make it personal, and get the transformations fast-tracked as we come closer and closer to the final revealing ballroom scene. I'm very excited about how this is going, even if I'm a little behind where I think I should be at this point in time. Thankfully, as this piece currently has no purchaser, I don't have a horribly strict deadline (just 100 pages by the end of the month).

If you want to know how I'm doing, or what I'm doing, at any particular moment in time, I am available on Twitter. Having people pop on to cheer me on, and jeer any posts of laziness would be a big help.
