Right then, calling that a week (3 days really). Up to 62 revised pages, some of that was easy because it was better written, some of it was harder, because, well, because it wasn't as well written. Most of this is adjustments to descriptions and dialogue, and not structure, which I do in the planning and outlining stage, and the first draft. I did shift an intercut scene around, though, just because it felt better coming in a little later. I may still cut scenes before it's finished entirely, but I'll do that after this draft is complete to check overall pacing. Should be on track to finish the second draft by the end of next week, and maybe even have it in competition ready shape by then too. PAGE is $69 for entry until 15th march and $79 after that until 15th April. It's likely the only one I'll bother with, and may not even bother with it at all. $69 is a lot of cheddar for a screenplay that has to find the right reader to have any chance of success. Anyway, I'll think about that next week. So, what did I learn today? 1. The area between the windpipe (trachea) and the jugular veins in the neck is a critical anatomical region containing major neurovascular structures, muscles, and deep cervical lymph nodes. The primary structures located in this region are part of the carotid sheath. 2. Unmoving and not moving generally mean the same thing in common, everyday language, as both refer to a state of being still, stationary, or motionless. 3. A carcass is primarily the dead body of an animal, particularly one slaughtered and dressed for food with its entrails, head, and feet removed. 4. Common synonyms for rain include precipitation, shower, drizzle, downpour, and rainfall. 5. A non-restrictive participial phrase is a descriptive phrase starting with a participle (like running, broken, or having eaten) that adds extra, non-essential information about a noun. 6. Tweety is also known as Tweety Pie or Tweety Bird 7. It is spelled Tinder. 8. No one owns the planet Jupiter, as celestial bodies are not subject to human ownership. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
