Ready ready ready to write

This blog is short, because I am working on my screenplay.

I just mapped out each of the three main characters' arcs, so I know how they should be reacting in each scene. We'll see if that helps.

:-P

Does anyone else get REAAAAALLLY annoyed that Blogger doesn't seem to be able to tell you when you have a comment update? Am I stupid? Am I missing the "This will make your life easier" button on the site? I still don't understand why Reader in Google can't just send you an e-mail saying someone's updated their page either? My mind is scattered enough as it is...I SHOULD be able to remember to click to the Reader portion, but honestly -- I can't.

I am going to investigate the "My Account" tab more thoroughly, and probably regret posting this message.

C'est la vie.

Blargh. Blog.

Soooo. Two weeks into last week I had a terrible cold and spent most of my time sleeping or hacking up a lung. This past week I progressively got better and started picking up the pieces of my schoolwork. I have to be honest that this screenplay has fallen by the wayside these past few weeks, by no fault of its own.

I also decided to work on America's Got Talent this weekend. Again, poor screenplay.

I HAVE made some edits though, (the same ones twice because my computer decided to delete the first set :-P >:( )

I am excited to furiously attack this screenplay (in a loving, make-over kind of way) pretty much non-stop in hopes that it will come out gorgeous.

We shall see. And I really do bemoan my lack of diligence in this.

:(

Onward, ever onward.

Oh boyoboyoboyoboy.

Have not made much progress from the first draft except thinking about the characters and which scenes should be either re-worked to accomplish something or nixed completely. I have already read through the script and made my own notes for changes...the next step is to just hammer those out.

Going to be a busy week of re-writes...and a philosophy exam.

:)

T-minus...

...how many hours? Don't actually want to think about it. I am now about to attempt to put the finishing touches on my first draft -- also known as making sure it makes SOME sense and then making sure there's a nicely tied bow on it, or some brightly colored wrapping. Or something.

Anyway, still wondering if the tone of this film is even, and what I can do to raise the stakes all around for all involved, at all times.

Also hoping beyond hope that they miraculously have Screenwriter in the labs once again, although I'm doubtful (I know, what happened to the hope?). Otherwise, I will be stalking anyone who happens to have it on their laptop. You've been warned.

I hope you all have already tied up your bows and packaged your screenplays in brightly colored paper and are now resting on your laurels, having already sent your files to Matt and are smiling pityingly at my post. I do. And I hope you are dreaming sweet dreams now, too.

I'll see you tomorrow :)

Yay!
