script status
The script is much improved, thanks to the divine Misha. It is, however, still a bit short. I plan to write more this weekend and go over the script format with Cole/Haag. I have a week, and am confident that I’ll finish and have it in the mail by then. I took...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...“Varmints” is up!
Why, no, I haven’t been clicking the Alien Skin site all day waiting for my story to be there. Nor did I go there on my Treo to check while we were out. Why do you ask?66 pages

I managed six script pages in an hour last night, followed by a couple of paragraphs puttering on the recalcitrant nightmare story. I have therefore tentatively decided that four pages a day in hopes of finishing the movie script for Austin is doable. I’m trying...Austin Film Festival

That story draft that was so sucktastic? I somehow managed to wrangle a couple of good paragraphs out of it. I thought it was probably “warmer” than the previous draft, and apparently I was right. In other news, I went for a run last night. It was about...playing scripts off short fiction
I got several funny pages done on the movie script. Hooray! On the other hand, I read a bit of draft for the nightmare story I wrote last week, and it is the suck. Not first draft suck, either. Worse. Woe. Ah well, this is the whole reason to have multiple projects in...Subscribe
