Well, here it is. The final countdown. I have about ten days before I have to be finished with the rough draft of my pilot. Ten. One zero.
I am screwed.
I mean, it'll happen but no one is going to like me for the next weekish. I am going to be unpleasant, stressed distracted, and (hopefully) completely in the world of my characters. This does not bode well for paying bills on time, homework, calling family to chat, and video games? HA! I've already forgotten that Skyrim and Sims 3 exist.
Currently, I have a teaser I'm not pleased with and an outline for the rest of it. By Sunday, I want to be half done. ~30 pages by Sunday. Yeah, I can do that (with the help of Ms. Amanda Palmer, The Dresden Dolls, and The Maccabeats).
Of course, I'm feeling upbeat and motivated to do this now (while I'm at work waiting for the toddler to wake up) but when I get home it's going to be "but I'm tired, I could play Skyrim..." le sigh.
Expect tons of updates if I get stuck, or don't expect to hear from me until February when my writing schedule slows to allow for filming.
Oh yeah! The Amulet!
It's coming along great. I have our WGA Registration number and we har started to cast :) We're almost there on our Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1214577909/the-amulet) $1435! Woo!
Soon, we'll be fully funded and it will be amazing! We shoot in February and until then it's all about prep and planning (which means I'm pretty uninvolved right now).
I'll keep you updated though!
