Hello Creative convention goons. I've been going to therapy for a little under a year now and one of the exercises my therapist Jolanda thinks will help me is creative writing. She says I've very creative and that I shouldn't be wasting it. She also said it helps a lot for people with my particular mental problems hahaha! I ended up deciding to do a movie script for my therapy project and I've been working on it for months now. The idea is to express what I've learned in therapy, but also to relax and do my best to express my frustrations. I even tried doing the kind of writing style where you just write whatever words come to your mind without worrying if they mean anything, Jolanda says that I have a lot of pent up subconscious anger about sexuality. The goal isn't really ever to make this into a movie or anything, it's just some help so I might as well get some help from people who actually do real writing for a job or passion. Personally I'm just doing this because I can't ejaculate into prostitutes properly like a normal person can. The biggest things I need help with are the ending of the film, and how to properly format to even post it to the forum to show in the first place, because when I copy and paste it from NOTEPAD.EXE it ends up all jumbled and nonsense, with all the spaces between words removed for some reason. I think it has something to do with NOTEPAD.EXE's word wrap formatting feature. Here's what it looks like in the preview post  And here's what it looks like in NOTEPAD.EXE  If someone could help me figure out this formatting issue I'd really appreciate it as my therapy project is due this Friday and I'd like to hear some constructive criticism about it before I hand it in to Jolanda, my therapist.

I dont wanna do it this way but im just gonna have to take a lot of screenshots because I can't figure this out, I probably should've used a word processor instead a program for notes, haha, but its part of the learning process

OP, since I have helped you with your very real & true emotional issues in the past, I will help you now. Firstly, look into Fountain markup language formatting. Second, this is a lot of words that I'm fairly certain I don't care to read, so could you post a 'log line' for your story?

Nitpicky stuff: - Grammar needs a little love - I'm not totally sold on the character names. The Good: - I did find the images helpful. Other Notes: This might just be me, but things get a little confusing in the 3rd act. Have you considered killing yourself? SEEK YOUR FORTUNE BENEATH THE KITCHEN SINK

Second, this is a lot of words that I'm fairly certain I don't care to read, so could you post a 'log line' for your story? I had to look up what a log line is, and I think it's kind of like the thing they put on movie posters to advertise the movie. Mine would probably be like "For Ivan Crylte, the price of sex is about to go up, but is free sex worth all this? There's no such thing as free sex." thats the shortest way I can think to summarize the 3 different sections of the movie (all of which stand alone, but are much more meaningful together) I didn't have time to use the mark up language you suggested but thanks anyways. Victor Vermis posted:Nitpicky stuff: Thanks, I cleaned up the grammar before handing it in today. I can't change any of the character names because then 80% of the script wouldn't make any sense at all. I don't understand the kitchen sink comment. I showed it to my therapist Jolanda today. I ended up just switching out the comments at the end with "To be continued" and I added a quick scene that explains why the bird fell during the psychward scene (existence was being hit with sleeping gas rather than just the psychward). Jolanda commented that it was a little bit too long and made a joke about how my therapy sessions would also need "to be continued". OVerall the project was helpful I think for my mental health. It's like how meditation seeks to quiet the mind, it's a lot easier to cope with negative thouights/ negative habits if you write them down. Thanks.
