first draft of script finished
I’m pretty sure the first draft is finished–I’ve tied up the pressing loose ends–but it’s short. I’ve sent it to my friend Misha for comments, because she is a generous, rocking kind of person and volunteered. I’m pretty sure...66 pages
I had a bit of an air-conditioning-related setback. Okay, I really think I had mid-project blues. Anyway, I’ve been behind on my page counts for a few days, but I just did five and feel back on track. That’s what matters, right? I’m really feeling...May 15?
I swear the Austin Heart of Film site said May 7 last week, but now I have an extra week to write my script. This is good, because it gives me extra revision room. The more revision room I get, the happier I am. Go ahead. Call me a weirdo. I can take it. And I’m...Yay, me!

I’ve been writing scripts today. Go figure! I suspect it’s because I wrote the script submission tracker yesterday. Now I need some scripts to put into it. 🙂 I worked on both the movie script and a new TV script. I think they’re both going well....Fun with software (not adventures in procrastination!)
Several months ago, I got a cheap copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but then my computer died. I installed it today. In fact, I’m using it now. I thought it would be fun to use with Final Draft to write scripts, but it doesn’t really recognize my voice...New Year’s Resolutions
