Animated Film

I have an idea for a children's animated show, and I'm writing freely and having a blast creating characters, stories, struggles, successes, etc. But I am not a screenwriter yet. How much should I write until I search for help from a talented writer? Where would I take what I have written?

Glenn Bossik, Scriptologist.com Editor-in-Chief:
It sounds like you're very passionate about your story. That's great! You should definitely use that passion to complete the screenplay yourself. Afterwards, you can get written feedback from a talented script analyst. Don't miss out on the experience of writing your own screenplay. It can be very satisfying, and you'll probably find that you do indeed have talent as a writer.

Remember that you always have the option of adapting your screenplay into a graphic novel or making it into a film yourself. You don't have to ask anyone for permission to live your dream. With the low cost of animation software and digital filmmaking equipment, you too can be a filmmaker.
