Tonight the writer's group is coming over to my house because I was supposed to have a draft ready for Fear of Clowns.
Actually, I didn't get the script ready. I wrote a first draft but don't feel like it's ready to show anybody. And actually the meeting was supposed to be last week but I didn't know that so on Monday when everybody was all like "So how do we get to your house?" I was all like "Whaaaa?"
So we rescheduled to tonight. Except that only two people can make it. Last month we didn't even have a meeting.
But I got snacks anyway and I read tonight's script because even if the group is slowly disintegrating I'm still glad to have people to bounce ideas off of. I can get plenty of people to read my script and advise me, but having a steady group of people who know you and will listen to your stories when they're still in the idea stage is a very good thing.
Plus this has reminded me to get off my ass and finish my next draft of the script so I can show it somebody.
Right after I clean my apartment.
yeah, i hate it when that happens. a few good writers groups i've joined have slowly disintegrated over time..

i'm about to work on my 5th screenplay
Sometimes those groups can be cyclical - few joiners one month, too many on another. Like you said, eve a few good people for idea bouncing works well enough.
ReplyDeleteJust when I've decided I want to be part of a writer's group, yours is falling apart (maybe)...ummmm, got room for another writer?
ReplyDeleteHey, Get off your ass and finish your next draft of the script so you can show it somebody.
