A Look at an Unfinished Script (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Hope you're doing well! Progress on the next few videos is going really smoothly, with the next one being a franchise video on The Hills Have Eyes that should be out pretty soon. Today though I thought I would share the progress that I made on an older video that I have decided to not revisit.

The way that I often work is a little disorganized. I always have multiple videos that I am working on at the same time and my scripts usually get worked on over a very long period of time. There are even a few that have been in the works for a couple years at this point. This is also what makes it unpredictable to me usually as to what the next video is going to be. For instance, I made the thumbnail for the Return to Oz video on October 4th of 2019, but that video didn't actually come out until January 22nd of 2021.

So with this process I inevitably sometimes will lose interest in a project and abandon it. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes it does. So today I thought I would share what my scripts often look like when I’m in the middle of figuring out what a video is about if anyone wanted to see how that worked for me. This one in particular I mentioned in my section of the Lovecraft video, and was to be titled The Horror of Loneliness. What you’ll find here is a very rough unfinished first draft of that script including a lot of my usual weird habits at this stage in the process including unfinished sentences and half started ideas. I envisioned this as a pretty long project talking about a lot of different works of media that would cover a lot of different types of the idea of what it means to be lonely. That didn’t happen here. But you can see me starting to get to that place before I decided I didn’t want to work on this anymore. If this is your sort of thing then I hope you enjoy a look into my writing process. Thanks again for everything.
