Film Treatment

I’m writing a film treatment which I’m hoping to show to a producer next month. It wasn’t easy to write this proposal with my kids off school. I’m glad the holidays are over and I have time to write again. Keeping kids occupied is tough but to write with them around is manic! lol! I wrote mostly at night. Not the best time for creative juices to flow, but I was able to mange to put together a decent proposal.
The film proposal came to me very quickly. Sometimes, an idea for a project can come out of the blue and you have to follow it through. There is sudden urge to keep going until you have all what’s in your mind down on paper. It's impulsive and there is no holding you back when you begin typing. Not every project will be accepted, published, but that's part of writing. My biggest project to date is writing a children’s fantasy. It's being rewritten at the moment and I hoping to finish it by the end of the year. In my experience any form of writing is a learning curve, productive and never a waste of time or material.
