What's Next?

So after submitting for Sharps, what’s next on the writing front?

Well, I may now have a 30 page script, but I’ll definitely need to work at it some more to make it a good script!

I have an outline for a 60-minute drama. It has some good bits, and a lot of not-so-good bits, so that needs to be worked on. I think I might use this for the Red Planet Prize (on the assumption that it will run again, of course).

There’s the Summer Challenge from Rise Films – write a feature film by September. Any genre, and apparently the budget is around £7m for the winning script. I have a couple of ideas for a feature, but not much beyond that. There’s time to spare for now, but I’ll need to get my thinking shirt on.

I have a few more ideas for 10 minute shorts as well, one of which I may just write up for the BSSC (although I may hold off for the animation contest instead).

I’m toying with developing a web series too, and actually making it, somehow. That might be fun.

But actually, what I really need to do is polish what I’ve written already and see how good it can get. Not as exciting as working on something fresh perhaps, but definitely necessary. Although I’ve written scripts, I wouldn’t really claim any of them were finished as such.
