Page 81

At this stage my script is feeling a lot messier than it did earlier in the draft. Maybe that's inevitable, a function of being in the second half of the second act. I've decided to write up the beats/scenes that need to happen and not worry too much about whether they're in the right order. It's hard, though, to lower the bar a bit qualitywise. But I don't think it would be productive to spend time obsessing about making this draft tightly structured.

Hey there, looks like you're making good progress, despite the difficulties. Keep it up.

It is a matter of getting the story out, not whether the story is any good or not yet. Thats something for later.

In other news i have done a bit of rewriting and am now up to page 56. However i have killed my second victim now so i feel like i have accomplished something. Still too long, but i feel better about it.

Streaking ahead there. Didn't do anything on Run today, so I'm still on page 77.

Blofeld, I hope both your first and second victims where in your script, rather than elsewhere...
