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...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...Progress

I’m so tired I keep opening the word document with my story in it, staring at it, and closing it again. I think maybe I should just go with it and go to bed early. After all, I was sick last week, and maybe Daylight Savings Time wasn’t the best time to...Script update
I’m now working completely out of sequence on “Double Feature.” I wrote in the major beats of the end, because they were clear in my mind. I also tweaked the beginning to lay the foundation for the climax. I think the beginning is pretty much done,...*throws confetti*
I just finished the first draft of Lizardfic. Hooray! It’s hard SF (biology). I have no idea if Analog wants it. They might. I still need to flesh out the protagonist’s emotional arc and the like, but the first draft is done. It was like grinding out...D’oh!
I realized something about my script this morning. That scene on page 13, that I intended to be the initial incident? That’s a very good scene. It’s exactly the way it should play out. I should be very pleased with it. There’s only one problem. It...Subscribe
