Words, words, words
The process of writing a book before writing the script for the film has been a great method of focusing. Room for exposition. Room for conserving language. Room for experimenting with the story without endless video cuts. Of course it’s easier because my first medium was the written word, but to have the two pieces together I think (and hope) will make the project more appealing commercially. Yeah…gotta worry about that too. Status: 14,800 words out of the projected 25,000 word first draft. Projected first draft date: April 7.
