Script writing

Finished the 1st Script - Corruption of Innocence and submitted to 3 screenwriting competions over the past 7 months. Clearly not quite up to standard to get into the finals. Main problems seem to be:-
a) Not "High Concept"
b) Dialogue not quite there - a little much "on the nose" i.e. characters saying what they are thinking, too frequently

Now thinking about and laying out out 2 new script ideas. Thinking of turning one into a novel.

One thing I have learnt is that the competition is very intense - hundreds, if not thousands of good writers out there and only limited opportunities. Still much better odds than winning the lottery though!
