Breakthrough

Monday, January 30, 2006
I tend to write better at night. Ideas flow easier. If I wake up and grab some coffee, I can't crank things out as easily as if I get home, decompress, spend time with the family and then write. I'm just not a morning writer.

Last night, I was able to break the block I've been having on this script. I managed to get the body of the plot worked out and I managed to squeeze in the idea I had about the multi-verse. It's gonna be good.

What I've been really worried about was having to invest too much time and money into having special effects or complicated stunts or anything that might require a big production. What I've done, effectively, is found a way around them with a few decent plot devices.

I think I might go over 30 minutes, but not by much. 35 maybe. I need to finish the script and then figure in how long the credit sequences bookending the film are gonna be. But that won't be until I've got a cleaned up copy of the script.

Felt good to break through. Hope to keep up the momentum.
