Last week I reached a penacle point. I finished the first draft of The Unknowns script. It clocked in at 63 pages in screenplay format. I sat down and read through the whole thing, and I gotta say I am pretty happy with it. It’s the best thing I’ve written. Which may not be saying mucb really, lol. But it reads well and progresses the plot in a concise way that doesn’t have much room for fat. My biggest concern is character development, but it feels like the bigger thing for this first book is introduce everyone to the story and setup the essential character elements that can be developed later. I’m planning on making this book around 6 volumes long so there’s plenty of room for growth. I think I am gonna sit down and watch some early X-files episodes and other big number 1’s to see how much character development was needed in those first installments.
Right now though my attention has turned to draft number two. This is pretty much all I will be doing until I have a publically readable draft that I can get feedback on, from those lucky few. There are a TON of corrections needed and a new scene I want to fit in. Anyways until the next draft… cheers!
