Dear Blog,
First an apology... Once again it’s been quite a while
since I updated you on my progress. What can I say but there’s been a few distractions.
It’s not that I’ve been unfaithful or anything, no really. In fact I have been diligently
writing Compass, scene after scene after scene. It’s huge pleasure seeing the
story unfold but with my enthusiasm comes a side effect, one that is self
inflicted - page overload.
My brother-in-law, the film director, helpfully reminded
me that each page works out, give or take, to roughly 1 minute on the screen. Ouch..!
My script is currently an epic so bring some cushions.
However, in an effort to save your bum I will of course
make some cuts and do a few rewrites. This is after all only my first draft.
Back soon, I hope..!
JF
