I Think It Just Might Work

Okay, here's the deal. I'm about ten percent of the way through the screenplay. The weird thing is, I know this. Yes, there will be a good number of edits and whatnot down the line, but knowing exactly where I am in the first draft is something I'd never been able to do before. Maybe there's something to these "outline" things after all.

In this case, of course, I'm working from a book. So, it's more of a hyper-detailed outline. I think this could turn out quite well. But that's largely because the story itself is so intriguing. My job, in essence, is to not botch it too much in the conversion. Which is where the whole edits and revisions part comes in.

Also, I had a bit of a week off from teaching, so it was good to have that break in order to start into the script. Starting is tricky, sometimes. But now I'm into it, and I don't think it'll be too very long before it's completed. Well, before the first draft is completed, anyhow.

More posts later. Now I must eat spaghetti.
