Update

Today I made excellent strides in planning my next script. My prior one has been tinkered with, but there's some serious plot problems that involve rewriting some scenes. So I'm trying to push further, but I'm not pushing too hard. Push too hard, you make shit movies. And I refuse to attach my name to something that sucks. There is no brass in my golden legacy.

That being said, I effectively came up with the lion's share of the plot for my next bit. It'll explore the complex interplay of religion in the dark ages. So that'll be fun to explore. And my main character should be fun to write. I know I can do this too. And it might sell. Worst case scenario, it's more portfolio padding. But yeah. I really pushed forward, and came up with some solid sequences. And a list of characters to add into the story. I had plenty of first-stringers, but this is an addition of several second-stringers. Necessary ones too. I think they add a lot of depth to the story. And they should make it tighter too. More characters, less nobodies. They killed Townie #1? Suck. They killed Francisco the friendly barkeep? THOSE ANIMALS!

Also, I'm waiting to start at the job. But I need to do some TB test or something first. I spaced on the prior one and had to go in again. So my goal of being done with this current script about the time I get paid is looking pretty damn attainable.

And today I confirmed that the girl is at least flirty. In the past, she'd been having questions focusing on things I'm interested in. But today we discussed VERY personal things. And she knows the kind of person I'm interested in. She's been making herself into (at least ostensibly) that kind of person. And I AM interested. But I hate long distance, and I'd rather be single than do it again. If we want it to happen, one or more of us would have to make some facilitative life changes. I know she hates where she lives. And I don't intend to live in Iowa either. But we're both poor and living on opposite ends of the country. We may very well be revisiting our doom...

BUT, the distance between Babylon and Athens is finite, right? If the stars aligned, and both parties were equally enthusiastic, we could maybe make it work.
