Chapter 1 script snippet (Patreon)

I wanted to give you a glimpse of how I approach writing the actual script! I don't have any experience with doing this is a professional setting, so it's pretty much just trial and error for me. I stick to only the most pertinent information and make sure that it's written down if it's crucial, otherwise keeping descriptions to a bare minimum. (I switched to Scrivener a few months ago, before I was just using google docs.... should have made the switch sooner 😂

About a year ago or so I actually did the layout thumbnails for the prologue (which was about 10 pages in length), and during that process I realized pretty quickly that I cannot estimate the panels/pages accurately at all. Up until then I actually tried to divide the script into pages to get a gist of chapter length, and by just picturing them as I went along. Interestingly, it's really hard to do this accurately! I thought since I had plenty of experience translating a script into thumbnails before, I'd be able to do it accurately, but nope hahah.
