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.

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...This is me, working on my script.
No, really! You believe me, don’t you? Yeah, well. Maybe you shouldn’t. I’m tired, and stressed out, and have a headache, and, you know, insert a million more excuses to not write here. I’m doing better with exercise, but exercise is easier...There was indeed script last night.
I have thirty script pages. Looking at the date, I need to write two pages a day to finish in time for the early Austin deadline. That sounds super-doable to me. In fact, I think I’ll see what I can do this weekend in the way of putting a serious dent in this...Subscribe
