The first draft of the screenplay revision is turned in to the Important Producer and Director Peeps, after 42 hours of writing in a 78-hour time period during which I revised a 114 page script into 102 pages, including restructuring sequences, writing new scenes, polishing dialogue, and ironing out inconsistencies. I am fucking tired. And I had an absolute blast. And I think it’s pretty good work, although of course some of it is first draft and so needs to be tightened up.
It’s actually been a pretty interesting process lately with the screenplay, and I will talk about it at some point soon when my brain does not feel like a scrambled egg.
But not today. Today, I am going to read Stephen King; eat butternut squash soup and ham sandwiches and spaghetti marinara; drink tea, then beer, then tea again; sleep beyond 4 AM (very exciting!); and then tomorrow accompany my sweetie to a matinee of Star Trek, possibly followed by (wait for it….) more beer.
In other words, I’ve gone fishing. Hope to have a post tomorrow morning, but actual comment/conversations probably won’t resume until later tomorrow or Saturday. You are all very patient and I appreciate it. I hug you through the internets (but watch out for the fishing pole, those hooks can be wicked….)
Enjoy your Thursday.
Good for you, and what a great reward. I wish you movie bliss and any other kind of bliss you make or encounter.
