NaNoWriMo 2017: 5 Days Left!
We're finally on the last stretch of NaNoWriMo 2017. Right now you're either putting on the final polish or scrambling to squeeze out 40 pages in the next few days. Admittedly, I fall closer to the latter than the former, but it's been a fun experience.
Joining NaNoWriMo this year was a bit of a last-minute decision for me. It wasn't until I had the idea to write a fake sequel that I got excited about it. It has been really cool to explore and imagine a new story within the JURASSIC PARK universe. I've never had to write a character or story using a previously determined voice and tone. It's been an interesting challenge, even if it's not one I'm sure I've been successful at.
Under normal circumstances, I would have spent much more time researching and re-watching to really understand the tone of the original film. Like with everything, planning ahead saves you a lot time further down the line, and it allows the process to run much smoother. Diving headfirst into this project, while difficult, has given me new perspectives on both the art of adaptation and flying by the seat of your pants.
I'll be grinding pages the next few days to hopefully finish by November 30th. even if I don't meet my 100 page goal, I'll still be posting the screenplay on December 1st. You'll be able to read and download the script from our PFAS Stories page on this site.
