The script frenzy excitement is slowly weaning off and I feel drained. I am slowly floating down from cloud 9 into the world of reality; from the highs of the frenzy writing to the lows off a blank mind.
The script Frenzy started on April 1st, it a month long writing of 100 pages in 30 days on software called celtex. I was new to screenplay writing and the software. It took a while to get used to both. It was a crash course learning and writing. Sitting and writing and rewriting hour after hour, discussing and planning the plot, sketching the word picture of characters, everything consumed my whole being. I lived like the characters and with the characters, talking to self, avoiding unnecessary conversation with neighbors. The minimum pleasantries sometimes I have avoided. For a while they looked at me strangely, but later on even my snoopy neighbor was afraid to disturb me.
Once half way my story stopped and I had no idea how to continue. In the forum writing buddies helped with tips to move on with the story. Then with renewed vigor I completed my script in 21 days. Rest of the days I spent fine tuning and polishing it.
Its a wonderful script based on a dream that haunted me last year. The protagonist is a princess and she is on an extra ordinary journey to find her imaginary lover. She faces love and treason simultaneously. In the end her powers of the mind and intuition helps her in outsmarting her enemies. All in all, it would make a great action thriller.
By touching the finish line I won the Script Frenzy for the year 2010. I thank all my online friends who encouraged and supported me while the I was in a state of frenzy.
