Studying for finals with these Rushmore and Royal Tenenbaums blu rays staring me in the face is torture.

In other news I got my $197 jaywalking ticket in the mail recently. Thank you city of Los Angeles.

I thought the forum got a new smiley with a tooth knocked out. Turns out it was just a piece of dust on my screen.

Perhaps this smiley should have gone under what you are not doing.

A final revision of my script before I turn it in. I've made notes and now I'm going through scrutinizing every line of dialogue, every piece of description. Trimming the fat and making sure it flows like a page turner. I'm 55 pages into this 122 page script. (This is why I haven't been watching movies.) When it's done I plan to gift wrap it (as a Christmas present) and hand it off to the management team that hired me.

Then I'll go back to watching movies.

What a process. Someday I'll ask you what was the most difficult thing you had to leave out of the script, but for now I'm cheering you on over the finish line.

Seriously?  Jaywalking? That stinks.

revised up to page 77, and it's increased a bit to 123 pages. The progress is good, but I feel the deadline looming as well as Christmas. Plus, my other regular job is going to be extra busy these next few days.


What a process. Someday I'll ask you what was the most difficult thing you had to leave out of the script, but for now I'm cheering you on over the finish line.

Thanks for the support. Right now I'm leaving nothing out. It's the 4th Draft of what becomes known as the Writer's First Draft. I can put it all in so long as it makes sense. (Once I hand it in there's going to be a lot of notes requesting cuts and changes. Maybe I'll be involved in them or if they feel I can't do it, we will settle on a price and my work will be done.) The job right now is discovering and then fixing plot holes, smoothing out dialogue and finding better ways to say things.

I love to follow your progress 1SO. I wish I one day will have the courage and discipline to make an attempt to do creative writing, if only just for my own eyes. You're a source of inspiration!
