My editing whirlwind –– especially with Susan away –– is making everything a blur.
But somehow between last night and right now, I’m down to 146 page (a solid 28 pages less than 2 days ago).
The mid-point is even more mid (page 57) which means that all the “fat” is in the latter half of the script. It’s from there that those 26(ish) pages are going to have to go.
SAVE THE CAT calls that part of the script FUN & GAMES in that … well, at the point that’s what should be happening with our story. Basically, it’s what you see in the trailer (goofy things for a comedy and chase sequences for an action flick).
And I have way too much Fun & Games right now.
Simultaneously, since committing to the reading yesterday, I’ve started a light-search for my Bad Boy lead.
My fear is that all the hot young 28 year-old actors in San Francisco have already moved to LA, probably to get work on any of my favorite shows on the CW playing either vampires or hit men.
Anyway –– I know that tomorrow will result in both the resurrection of our Lord, and even though we’re forced to slice some Fun & Games –– that Easter Bad Boy is on the way.
Amen.
