  • screenplay update 4 Decided to work on the acts separately. Act 1 is complete, but it only reads better. The major issue is length. Hell, it's always an issue with writing. Ask me to edit and I'll add. Overcompensating for being fat (Kevin Smith is so right about that). 41 pages, which is a few pages short of the original, but I think I can shave it down to 30. Basically just break the entire script down in 30 minute increments so it can be manageable. 4 acts instead of 3.

    I'm still enjoying the process. I had a nice chat with a lady friend about the story and it turned into a hour-long brainstorming session. I love bouncing ideas off of folk. There are some things that I just don't think about. Different perspectives and all... it really helps. I'm in a bubble, so to speak. Hell, compared to other people, I haven't even lived life yet, so it's good to get insight and opinions that are different from mine. More so with the female perspective, being that the main character is female.

    Edit: Make that 39 pages. There was a lot of white space that upped the page number. So I gotta knock off 9 pages.

    Maybe I'm updating too much?
