I did it!
A screenplay in under two weeks!
A complete(ish) first draft of ‘Return to Earth’ (working title) is sitting there glowing at me lovingly from my screen.
It needs much work, and some of the scenes have characters spouting gibberish until I do a bit more research and fine tune the detail, but the story is there.
It’s only 87 pages long, but as I was aiming for 90 and being as concise as I possibly could be, I’m more than happy. I can think of at least two new scenes that could go in if needs be.
Think I’ll do a first pass rewrite v. soon to correct as many mistakes a possible – especially with the layout of the moon base which I only really got fixed in my head last Friday, and then stick it away for a few weeks to mature.

About Andy Coughlan
I write stuff down and try to make films out of it. Sometimes I succeed.
I also write novels, like The Elementalist and code things, like Scribomatic, Brolly or Not? and Geeky Gifts.
Current projects: A short film, The Man Who Wished which I\'m also developing into a TV series.
