It's Decided...

I have to start fresh. Brand new beat sheet. Brand new story line. Some of the stuff from the previous draft will still be used. Probably about 40 % of it. But there's just no way around the fact that this is definitely going to be a major over haul. Hopefully for the best.

I'm off today and my room mates are at work probably until 7. I have a store meeting at 6. So that gives me plenty of time to get the beat sheet done and crack into the script.

I'm excited about the ideas I've had for the script in the last two days. I'm going to soften one of the characters up tremendously. She never had much of an arc and was just too cold for some readers to connect to her on any kind of level. And that's not good. Even if she isn't the main character. People have to find a way to connect with the characters in some way. And I think the new direction I'll be bringing her in will definitely improve on that.

I'm excited about the plot twist that I'm going to use. I've been going back and forth and actually doing it. But I think it will offer up a lot more conflict with the main character and the forces in his life that he's currently up against.

I'm just excited that finally the gears are turning and hopefully that will mean a very productive day today.

I'll post again this evening after the meeting with an update on anything I might have accomplished.

I think it's going to be a good day!
