Damn, that took a while. But I managed to get 8 pages knocked out without changing the plot much at all. Now to handle dialogue and then leave it. It's got to stew some more. But I'm glad that everyone has their own voice at this point. The dialogue draft is just a punch-up for every character. Then I do one more pass for quality assure and it's off to market with this puppy. My goal was to be done with it by payday, and that's Friday.
Also, my client didn't want to do a damn thing today. It was maddening, so instead I research another project. That brings me up to four that have research done. This weekend, I'm going to a Renaissance Festival, next week I'm going to an SCA event (probably), and the following weekend I'm taking a road trip with some friends. So it'll be a busy few weeks. But the first two weekends should help with inspiration, and the last should help with my structure. The hope is to get all four planned out in detail before going. Then, when I put one project on the back-burner, I can switch to another and keep production up. I'm certain my quality is fine for Hollywood, I just need my production to improve.
And things with either girl are going nowhere. And that's fine. This progress is more important. Reproduction is a thing that motivates deer, squirrels, and salmon. I would hope I'm more evolved than that. The thought has gotten me through relationship doldrums for years. I guess I'd rather be one WORTH dating than one who NEEDS dating.
