Thanks Meg. :) That hard drive crash happened halfway through the quarter btw, causing one of the page one rewrites. Forcing me to write 118 pages in less than two weeks. *shutter*......
But, I already went through the Oral Defense.
Best summarized by the first reaction at the Oral Defense. One of my professors has never given me above a 3.0 on ANYTHING. He's not a hardass or an overly strict grader, I just didn't hit the mark high enough. Said professor was one of the Faculty Members that went over my Screenplay. His words were the first to be uttered, and I quote,
"I really like this screenplay. I want to make this movie..."
That was a year ago.... I haven't sold it yet because it needs another rewrite for a Female lead character(This must be done) and the more important reason that as much as I want to transition to full-time authorhood, working for Google pays a lot better and more consistently at the moment. Another reason being that selling it would mean moving....again....for the 4th time in 5 years.

Seven more chapters first-passed Thursday. It would have been more but i got interrupted and put off my stride by urgent tax things which needed printing immediately that night.
The plan is to do more today, but I'm not going to be able to settle down until I have been out and about for a bit, and am currently waiting for the rain to stop. I would like to get to chapter 20 before the end of the day, which would be two-thirds of the way through.
[ The normal write-Fridays plan gets changed on long weekends when Friday is a holiday to write-Thu-and-Sat, and this year Jean-Baptiste and Canada Day are both Fridays. ]
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
Eight more chapters this afternoon, which puts me at chapter 20. (For those playing along at home, the chapter numbers won't add up, because there's a separate thread with different numbering, which has seven chapters interspersed with the others.) Not sure I will do any more today, I am a mite headachey.

And to think, I was proud of my 2k words =(
Not to mention that those 2k words aren't anything that I'll ever be able to publish =(
sigh.

The project I am doing line edits on now is one I first started writing nearly ten years ago. Getting 2kwords done is no small thing, and it does add up over time.
