Today is Brian’s birthday! Happy birthday! Today is also the closing for Austin Heart of Film, but I mailed my script and Sallya on the 13th. Woohoo! *crosses fingers* I haven’t really written stuff since I finished the screenplay. Things are...story title change
Well, I’ve decided I hate one of my story titles and it is the suck, so I spent some time yesterday trying to come up with a new title. See, the old title was “Women’s Work” and was supposed to be a subtle coded hint about some backstory thing,...Sallya still a captive…
