I'll Get It Done One of These Days

As I pointed out before, writing a film script is tougher than I initially believed. I can handle dialogue if I know what kind of flow I'm aiming for, but all that other stuff - like scene setups and all that jazz - is not something that comes easily for me.

You know, in retrospect, perhaps I could have written up a treatment for my script first. For the unfamiliar, a "treatment" is somewhere between a basic outline and a short story, which a script writer uses to better flesh out his or her script. I'm not quite ten pages deep, so perhaps it isn't too late to back up a little and take care of that. I'd like to know where I'm headed, so perhaps a treatment is in order?

Any of you other, more talented writers out there are free to pitch ieas for scenes, lines of dialogue, characters, whatever. Be my guest. And it might take me a while, but I'm planning on getting this done sometime. My unofficial deadline is my 30th birthday, so I've got until 2012 to knock it out. Six years is plenty of time, right?
