...I am almost 30 pages from where I started earlier. Yay! Also realized something else about myself. I work so much faster if I already have it thought out by writing it out by hand first. At least for dialog. I wish I had realized this six and a half hours ago.
Good news is, I just need to wrap up the resolution and decide where our reunited couple is going to live out their happily ever after. I have ideas that they go back to Hollywood, but I think I will have to make Izzy and David have an even greater falling out than just Izzy not coming to the premiere of their film (and that she won't kiss him). And figure out how she'll still work in that town after doing something so audacious. I know this isn't very detailed, but if anyone has suggestions, do shout out.
Robert has basically just stood up to his nay-saying buddies and Izzy has asked for forgiveness and said she just wants to be with Robert regardless of where they live. A little old lady on the street just recognized Izzy, and Izzy and Robert watch the movie and Robert decides his wife really is talented and he's been trying to hold her back.
Very sappy stuff, people.

I work the same way, it's always easier for me to write out everything first. For some reason I work better that way. Plus having my scene list right there keeps me on course.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the falling out, there should be more. Something a little deeper and more personal. What's her reason for not showing up to the premiere?
She doesn't show up to the premiere because she's goes home to her husband in New York as soon as the Director calls "that's a wrap." Since she's willing to give up Hollywood to be with him, she doesn't go. Unless of course her husband thinks she should or something. But right now all the interactions with the old lady and everything take place after this film (only her second film ever!) has been released.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.
Hmmm. Alright let me think, I'll see what I come up with
ReplyDeleteGood Job Ali! I hate writing things out, but it seems to help a lot of people.
