Yo that's awesome you're writing a script EE! I've been lagging on starting one... I hear the latest version of FinalDraft is pretty good.

My buddy who is taking some screenwriting classes says it's a pretty frustrating process... you're constantly re-writing everything to make sure plot points don't seem contrived. The ending has to be the toughest though.

you should put some time aside and start with an outline, and see where it leads... if you or your friend has any advice on how to get funding and produced, let me know. I have no idea how the biz works, just that I have something I want to create. good luck!
