Yikes.
I may be writing a novel. I received some crits for lizardfic today, and one of the critiquers agrees with Brian that the story might work better at novel-length. I suspect they may be right. Of course, I don’t have time right now. I need to finish this script....Must. Finish. Script.
The last pages of my script are just grinding out like cement. I don’t know if it’s laptop death trama and the associated rebuild/migrate/etc., the distraction of the new Precious, being busy at work, all of the above, none of the above… In short,...Complications Ensue
Um. Yeah. Laptop died. I kind of took the opportunity to go linux. Which means I had to import the script into Celtx, which I just don’t love as much as Final Draft. I’ll probably try to get Final Draft to work under wine as soon as I fix the video card,...Unsticking myself.
I’ve been stuck at 75 pages for awhile on Double Feature. Thematically, there are two minor characters who need more to do, and I might need to pad out the end a little with a bit more denouement, so hopefully that’ll do the unsticking trick. I’ve...Things I need to do this weekend.
Things I need to do this weekend: Work on script. Critters critique. Work on script some more. Buy groceries. Pay bills. Register for Dragoncon and Ann Crispin writing workshop. Work on script even more. Mow lawn. Thing I might do for fun this weekend: Buy yarn for...Half a page.
That’s how much script I wrote last night. I’m torn between, “Oh, that’s pathetic!” and “Well, at least I wrote.” The answer is to let it go and write tonight. Like any other extended effort (diet, exercise, etc.), you...Script progress
Twelve pages today, which just about makes up for all the slacking I did this last week. That puts me at sixty pages. Estimating a minimum length of ninety pages, that means I’m 66.7% through. Getting some good advice helped. I may tweak on that 60 pages later....The evil middles.
I seem to have a bad case of script middle blues. I’m left trying to figure out what else I can do to these poor characters. On the up side, I’m on page 48, so I’m well into it. I just need more. More more more. A lightning strike appears to have...Things I need to do today.
Things I need to do today: Critters critique. Work on script. Things I should probably do, but suspect I won’t: The dishes. Laundry. Things I probably shouldn’t do, but suspect I will: Go to Harry’s and grab some vegetarian sushi for lunch. Current...Subscribe
