Another Day, Another 30 Pages

Today’s first class at Acre both sold out (and had a wait list) and was also postponed.
All the reservations filled up and then I learned some friends of mine were also coming.  Apparently, something internal having to do with the owner Jenny’s two stores required that we postpone (sigh).
Somehow, this does feel very “fashionable” (if not downright coquettish), and I’m hoping we’re back on for next week.
Meanwhile, I stayed in during the gorgeous rainy day, listened to lots of Max Richter, and slashed 30 pages from the script.
As of this writing we’re at 174 pages (just under 3 hours) but at least no longer a totally insane 200 or 300 page length.  [FYI,I feel that I could give my producer a 150 page draft and still NOT be thought a lunatic –– although I do want to hit the bull’s-eye of 120 dead on.]
Loved having dinner tonight with Joy and Rhiannon at Plant with Belle.  So much fun chatting about all our goals and dreams.
And now … back home to perhaps hack away another handful of paragraphs — maybe even some page –– from the script.
[Just another 54 to go and we’re totally on target.]
