I think I excelled myself.....

The Holiday From Hell came in at 192 pages (which was more than I thought), but then in a stunning display of script writing, Starlight (The Movie) came in at 100 pages exactly.

So - go me. Two scripts in 29 days, with a total of 292 pages of glory.

I realise I am very bad to blow my own trumpet, but I am very, very proud of myself for this.

They'll be posted as soon as I can work out an easy way of converting them to HTML - and HTML that can be posted on the twin sites (although apparently Starlight can't be posted at one, because it's not directly related to HP).

Lets Go To The Mall - To Die

So - I am about half way through at the end of Day Three. Which is pretty typical for me, and apparently for most people.

Writing an A4 page full of text is a lot harder than writing an A4 script page, because there is generally far less text.

Which would explain why I am about half way through.

The two major problems I have are that the "major scenes" (of which there are 23) should be four/five pages long, and some are far shorter, meaning I might run out of story, before I run out of pages.

The second is that celtx SUCKS for HTML formatting. So it's going to take me a while to get it presentable for the web, once I finish it (which I haven't yet).

Still - 45 pages in three days. Not bad.
