Re-Write-O-Rama: Day 28

Re-Write-O-Rama: Day 27.

January 1: Type FADE IN / The Beginning.
January 31: Type FADE OUT / The End.

31 days. 1 script. Movie script. TV script. Whatever.

Goal: Rewrite an existing draft.

I’m doing it with a Zero Draft I knocked out in November. You’re invited to join me on your own script.

NOTE: If you want to use the month to prep a story or write a zero draft, that’s fine. The point is for you (and me) to use Re-Write-O-Rama to kick off 2016 with a bang and make progress on a script!

You may download a calendar here or here to track your progress.

UPDATE: Great to see some Re-Write-O-Rama participants closing out their new drafts. Here’s another one — Ricardo Bravo:

Not three days ago I was faced with a conundrum regarding my big reveal for my ZD30 script. Reached out to my fellow Outlaws and got some great insight which lead me to a wicked solution. Well, I can happily report that my RW31 is done! Finito. Fade Out. Reached the end with time to spare which I will be rightly spending… re-reading and re-writing it all from the start. Going for round two (and three or four as required). Onward people! Hands on keyboards. This isn’t over yet. But first, enjoy these tequila shots, on me.

Congratulations, Ricardo. You are today’s recipient of the libational Hecht Award!

Onward!
