So my intention was to take a break from writing for a while and focus on contacting the agents for Psych, but a fellow member contacted me, wanting to co-write a script with me. I thought the idea was interesting, though it will be hard to pull off correctly, so we're writing it now.

Premise: Shawn and Co. set out to solve a crime that occurred 100 years ago.

I've already finished the teaser, which you can find here: Teaser

Wow... Nobody likes it? Well, I can imagine... I always have trouble writing something that I didn't have the original idea for. I have more motivation when I get the idea in the first place.

Didnt read it yet (Dont usually read scripts, but Ill give it a shot later) but looking down the topic list the name really sounds great.

If you haven't read any of my scripts yet, I recommend a different one. This one might give you a wrong impression, because I know that my other works are much better.

I would totally read this if my computer wasn't being so screwy right now...

Yours, too? lol

a) how is the contacting thing going? have you reached anyone yet?
Sounds interesting! Can't wait for the rest of it! I'm off to read the teaser now! C-=

a) *sighs* Not yet. I'm busier than I thought I would be this week. Gonna try on Monday, though... I hope.
Awesome!

Oh wow, this looks really interesting! It's an awesome idea. I can't wait to see the rest.

I like the teaser. I skipped over this thread thinking it was something else. Was looking for new scripts on your other thread (yes, I have a hard time keeping up with too many threads LOL!!).

I'm not sure about the title, but I do like the National Treasure feel to it.

I also posted it in the other thread, if you prefer that.

Does anybody have any title ideas? I think this is the Psychiest one I've come up with yet, but does anybody have any ideas?

i like it! it has potential for awesomeness lol i will be on the lookout for when it is finished

I like it. Where did you come up with Talmadge?

That was my coauthor's idea. I had originally called him William, but he came up with Talmadge, and I liked that. It adds to the "old" feel.

Seriously. This thread needs a bump. how is the script coming along?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, it's taking much longer for my co-author to write than I do. So, really, all that's written is what you've read. He should get his part to me by Sunday, though, and then I can write my part.

I may just write another script while I'm waiting for my co-author.

At least we've got a new episode tonight. C-= Is this his first script? That may be why it's taking so long. I don't know. What I write, I write in normal format, not in script format. (I'm probably not using correct terminology, but that's okay.) So I don't know how long it takes to write.


lol Do you have more script ideas? Do you keep like a list of them or do you just come up with ideas on the spot?

I think he has written a few TV scripts before, but I'm not sure. He's not writing it as a script, anyway, because his screenwriting software is not compatible with mine, which can write in TV format. So he's writing it in MSWord and emailing it to me.

A TV script only takes me a day or two to write, if I don't need research.


I used to just come up with ideas on the spot, but now that I'm sort of in between scripts, the ideas are piling up, so I now have a list.

Okay; I see.

So... it's a process? lol (just finished watching the new episode!)

Not really. I just write as I go along.

O wow, I thought you got that from "The Old And The Restless" where henry stays at the retirement home so shawn and gus can have visitor passes so that they can solve a case. Shawn tells the President of the retirement home that henrys name is Talmadge.

lol. And that must be where my co-author got the idea.

Has your co-author gotten his part to you yet?

*sighs* Nope. He sure is taking his time... I'm patient, though. We'll get it done... eventually...

i can't wait till you get this done...looks great. I'm patient too...I know great things take time especially writing a script

I agree. And it will be all the more better when we DO get it! C-=

Major bump. Is the co-author still working, or has the project come to a stand-still? I just barely read the teaser and I would love to read the rest of it.

We're in the middle of re-creating the backstory, but the co-author hasn't gotten back to me yet.
