Good day's writing.

Three productive hours! Have moved things forward substantially. After a lot of procrastination this morning, actually.

I always forget, when it's going slowly, that a good day's writing can show up at any time, unexpectedly. One of those things you can't predict. Be nice if you could.

So... relief.

More plotting.

Going okay with it. Actually was back at it the last couple of days though I didn't post. Second half is taking shape. Feels awfully slow though!

Back on it.

Urghh... first day back always the hardest.

Nice to be back on it though. Am out and about shooting some stuff this weekend so probably won't be back on it till Monday.

A lot of nuthin' at first but finally moved forward a bit by the end of the session.

Slow. But. Moving. On.

Busy.

Just not with a script. Sorry. Will be back on it in a week or two I think.

Drafting day 22. Page 74.

Four pages of exposition. Which is slightly concerning, but I wanted to get down the info of my epiphany so it's safely in the script to be digested in the next draft. Still, that's an awful lot of exposition... and I think I might have to do some plotting next as I'm not sure of the dramatic shape of the next scenes (or of the script from this point, actually).

Drafting day 21. Page 70.

Had an epiphany! Yay! Something that really makes sense of the motivations of one of my characters. In a way that I hadn't actually even realised was missing till I had the epiphany. The best ones are always when you go 'how could I have been so dumb as not to have realised that before?' Anyway... it's only day 2 back at it and it looks like things are kicking off! One day that wasn't so good ain't so bad really...

Today's scene that I'd resigned myself to being not that good, kind of wrote itself. Still a logic problem there but I can look at that when I've finished the draft.

And very pleased about the thing I came up with today. One of those things that you only come up with when you're in the throes of the actual draft, I think.

Drafting day 20. Page 66.

Mostly rewriting the last few pages. Feeling slow and uninspired. But hey. Back into it. Moving forward. And most of what I've written to this point is not bad at all.
