On the upside, I've made a HUGE dent in my screenplay for Zombre! for Script Frenzy. What is Script Frenzy, you may ask? Merely an insane desire to write an entire screenplay over the course of a month. Last time I did this, I made myself sick overworking myself and contributed heavily to the eventual demise of my second marriage. This time, however, I have two successful NaNoWriMo titles under my belt, and those are over twice the length of a full fledged screenplay, so the workload won't likely kill me. And, well, no marriage to ruin this time. :)
And I need to do something now that I've finished writing the most recent de la Vega mystery. Yes, Gato Loco fans...Ride Like the Devil is in the can. It is being read now by a secret cadre of discerning readers who are picking it apart prior to my edit in July. I expect to have a finished product available just in time for the holiday shopping season! But I digress...
Despite the distractions of the weekend (Hooray for Andrew and Cat making a baby, and BOOO! to the Seattle Mariners), I am about 1/4 of the way done with the script, and I still have a few hours left today to write. It's possible that I could be halfway done with it on Monday night at this rate. That would be, oh, the 4th? Yeah, I think I can get this baby turned around fast. What's more, it's pretty frickin' good, especially if you like the concept of a zombie western!
The downside?
Well, I got about 4 hours of sleep Friday night, took a nap on Saturday mid-day that threw off my sleep schedule, and then was up until 4 in the morning. It's about 7pm here now, and I already suspect that I'll have a horribly messed up internal clock by the time I get on the bus in 12 hrs time to go to work. I wonder if I can get an IV drip at Starbucks?
And for your enjoyment, the movie poster mock up for the project I'm working on!
