THIS IS THE BEST FEELING EVER! I officially have half a season of "101" done and completed. Now I just need to do edits with Jack to brush it all up, but 6 down and 6 more to go!  How's everyone else coming along?? |

I'm feeling very happy with myself -- twelve pages in one day. Hell yes  |

still stuck on finishing the outline for the final scenes of the M:SCU finale, so leaving it be for now, and working on the actual first draft of 1x10 instead. Also, planned out an idea for 2 new VS shows, one a sister/spin-off possible miniseries of M:SCU focusing on some of the recurring characters, the other an original show, called "Serendipity" which I'm marketing as a kind of the love child of "The Secret Circle" and "Veronica Mars" or "Twisted"  |

Starting the second half of "101" with 1x07. This is the fatest I've ever written a series like ever. For those who have been on here long enough, know that it took me almost a YEAR to get at least half a season of The Path done. Now, with "101" I've gotten so close to the end of the season, that I am already breaking down what will happen in S2 and where I will leave my characters off for the season and where I will pick up with them in the next season. It's always nice knowing where your show is going to go, so that way you can plant the seeds and then watch it all grow.
My tip for writing a season, plan out your season, know where your characters are going, but also know where you want to end. It's always nice, for me personally, to know the season finale so that I can build up to it, and not have to worry about all these loose ends. But it's also nice to know where you're going with S2 or beyond, just so you can also plant some seeds like for some characters and where they are going. But thats a tip, in no way, should y'all listen to me. But I hope everyone is doing well with their scripts and gets that page or scene you've having problems with done and then reward yourself with a cooke, because you're worth it *Cue Fifth Harmony*

Got 15 pages of Eventide ep2 done today because my students were really quiet and working well, which meant I had the opportunity to write for most of the day. Pretty proud of myself, there was a time when 2 pages in one day was a good effort for me but i'm trying to get myself into some good writing habits and it looks like it's working.

Managed to finish two entire episodes of Audition yesterday (equaling 24-28 pages), so I say I'd call that a pretty successful day.  |

I've accomplished 5.75 pages so far tonight. Had to delete one and a half scenes in order to do it but I just wasn't feeling the original direction I had the story heading in. I like what I have now better. My only fear with this episode is it's lack of action thus far in the first two acts. A lot of dialogue, information, investigation but not a lot of action. I am hoping to change all that going into the back half of the second Act and start of the third. Finally feeling like I'm over the hurdle, of the last week, with this episode. #WINNING

I just finished 1x08 last night. This is the most productive I have EVER been with any show ever. I finished like 4 episodes in just one month.

Leaving the 1x10 script for now - got it to 69 pages, so gonna have to make some tough decisions about what stays and goes at some point. Already started 1x11, hoping this one will flow just as easily |

Just wrote eleven more pages for the fiftieth episode of Watchtower. Half way through the second act. This episode is just spewing out of me, and I'm hoping the rest of the season follows suit.

YAY JACK! I'm so proud of you getting to 50 episodes! Such an amazing milestone! MUST MAKE POSTER! lol jk. As for me, I am just finishing up 1x09 of 101 and taking a dang break! But Jack, I am so excited to see how you're going to rip the hearts out of your viewers. When the episode airs will we be setting up "Watchtower ripped out my heart and I can't handle it anymore" Club. Snacks provided. But I hope everyone has a great writing week and gets a page or a sentence done. You know whatever works best.
