Im just trying to develop a steady writing habit at the moment. I think Im just going to write a feature length script for practice. Any advice?
Well, honestly you should do what you feel is right...But, I remember when I first started and what I felt was right at the time was to make a feature length. I found out that its hard as shit and will drive you nuts. So, my advice would be to start a little smaller just so you can get into the flow of writing and creating that perfect story arch.
I thought it was just about getting your thoughts down on paper, but that's really just the beginning. There's a whole framework to build, characters to develop, plots to drive from point A to point B. Dialogue has to be genuine to your characters and the situations, as well as interesting. I mean, you're basically trying to figure out how to create an artificial world on paper...with a bunch of technical wordings and grammatical devices.
But above all, you have to get used to harsh criticism, rejection, and copious amounts of rewrites. I mean, if you're serious about it, you're going to be writing so much, you'll go crazy by the end of each week. Worse, you'll be unable to really concentrate or think much about anything else until you figure out whatever problem you have with your story. If you're serious about it, you'll bleed over your work until there's nothing left to your own livelihood.
Or you know, you'll figure out a way to balance it all out and live a healthy normal life and still make it happen.
I wish you and everyone else on this forum the best of luck.
