I want to clear up something about writing deadlines. On Saturday I seemed to think I was going to finish outlining my screenplay by Sunday night. That did not happen. It might have happened if I’d spent all of Sunday working on it. What I did do was look at how I could possibly get three screenplays written by the end of 2005. Working backward and allowing a little more time for the first one I came up with the following deadlines:

Screenplay #1

• Outline – Week 2 – 11/28/04
• First Draft – Week 14 – 2/20/2005 (that’s 1.5 pages per day)
• Second Draft – Week 17 – 3/13/2005
• Third Draft – Week 19 – 4/10/2005
• Fourth Draft – Week 20 – 4/17/2005
• Final Draft – Week 21 – 4/24/2005

I’m committed to this schedule. Now I’m done messing with the website for the night – off to do my writing.
