Write something and stick to it

I expect that this is a common problem, but as soon as i'm halfway through an outline I'll have a new an infinitely more interesting story idea come into my head. I feel sincerely bad that my newly created characters are left to fend for themselves in a partly developed never to be finished plot. I feel that perhaps I should give them a proper burial and not leave them in movie limbo. More to the point I should probably stick to something if I want to make progress. It maybe more fun to endlessly invent shallow unrealised plots, but I see it being ultimately unfulfilling. This kind of script writing I imagine is the definition of literary one night stands.

So, I think that I might begin the next piece in the cyberworld and post ideas and scenes and dialogue directly to this blog. Hopefully I get  a little feedback and it might be an interesting approach.

Lets see how it goes.

I feel like I might be metaphorically crossing the picket line by writing a spec, but I take umbrance from UNK who in this linked blog entry says that if you are a wannabe writer who is not a WGA member then you don't have to take a writing vow of celibacy - just don't be a scab and sell it to the majors.

I'd be glad if a youtuber wanted to film it; dream if an indie producer with a bit of kit wanted to give it a go.
