lol...funny, that "brand new character" seems like an old hat to me now, since you were talking to me when you developed him *beams*
Stumbled upon this little thread when I seen the words Writer's Block.
Fun little topic I like to stay away from. Some deny getting it and others blame it on lack of creativity, but all writer's have some obstacle that gets in the way of their telling of a story...whether it be coming up with lines to improve upon little Tree Monkeys...or B.M.D. officers in charge...or anything concerning this Terminator Universe, it has to be stellar.
As always, Ross, I'm always a click away via email or PM or IM if you need help...I'll reply eventually :-p

Alright folks...this might sound Abysmal to most of you but Twilight will know why I'm so STOKED- I'm at the 30 minute mark. And writing quite well...I might make that maybe maybe not release date. Feel free to ask what's so important about 30 mins...I know you want to.

Days off, always a plus.
Just keep yourself to set a page limit. I know its standard babble, but it does work especially when you need a break in the weather. That's what I do.
I try to set myself at least 5 to 7 pages a day in script format. Fan fiction format at least 2 to 3.

I generally write with the flow of each individual scene and when it's complete I read it over...outloud and in character..and determine if the lines work well enough..if thye don't then I reword or rework the scene.
It's long and tedious...but oh so worth it in the long run-.

Ahhhhh My screenplay software ate 3 perfectly great minutes of script...which I have to rewrite...and send out to my Ghostreading friends. This is only the second time this program has ever eaten part of a script.

Yep. In the process of recovering it.
...and John meeting Danny Dyson for the first time in a LONG time.
Found the rest...it somehow get cut and pasted into the wrong scene.
Still missing Most of the Skynet Scene though....through meeting Danny Dyson.

I think Allergygal has the entier sequence...so I PMed her and hopefully I'll have it back.
Ironically it's given me enough time to come up with the final lines of T6 and they are part one of the most simple eloquent scenes I could possibly come up with. Because T6 is about hope- and the possibility of an eventual peace.
As it stands at the moment these are the last few lines of T6...and the first words of T6 I've written to page.
ext. sunrise- day-
There is a shape on the horizon. And as it comes closer we can hear a combination of very strange noises. One sounds like some kind of farting puffing hammering think...the other like honking- Eve and David Connor squint not quite believing what they're seeing or hearing-
EVE: Is that a plane?
It is- a red biplane and flying in formation with it is a huge flock of Geese-
Life....Hope.
David: It's not only a plane- It's hope.
And knowing that Skynet was possibly lying out there dormant and waiting would never kill hope.
Humanity- Would- Never- Give- Up.
It would only be a matter of time.
