Class is in Session...

I signed up for an online screenwriting class with Gotham Writers' Workshop. I'm hoping this is going to keep me more focused than I am on my script. And I'm very afraid right now that I'm going to be way behind on my deadline.

But that's life, right? So all I can do now is remain focused. I am working on a 500 word synopsis for the class right now and I have my first 5 pages ready to submit along with that for the next class.

One of the twists that I'm adding is making me believe I need to change my point of view on the story. Right now I'm telling it from the male point of view and his life after release from prison. But now I'm starting to believe I need to be telling it from the female leads point of view and her struggles about his release.

I'm just entirely confused and that's what is making me very scared about completing this project on time. I know it's a self imposed deadline... but one day, in the real world of movie making I'm going to have actual deadlines where I'm going to have to rise to the occasion. So I need to get that practice in now.

I'm going to finish up the synopsis and see if I really do need to completely change the pov. I hope not. Because then I'd only really be able to salvage about 10 % of the script. And the writing for that will be a huge undertaking.
