Groan!

Can U believe this, two months later– eight weeks!– and I’m ALMOST finito with my screenplay. Who knew movies were so hard to write??? Screenwriters.

Never-the-less, I am following Blake Snyder’s advice and bullheading my way through all the minutiae.

The most fun is reading my dialog aloud and finding out that NO ONE COULD SPEAK THIS! “Blozuflabitsanarsh! ” Oh, sure, somebody’s really going to say that on-screen.  Ya can hear me gnashing my teeth.

Otherwise, it’s all true: When you finish Hollywood formatting, one page does equal one minute of screen time. I’ve tried reading aloud ten pages and letting the scenes play out in  my mind. Consulting my stopwatch, yup! Ten minutes and 15 seconds. Close enough. That’s so cool!

I will keep U posted!
