Yesterday I finally managed to print out KFD (thanks Mark) and then sent it off to one of my favorite movie martial artist, who agreed to read it. I won't name any names, but they were really gracious for agreeing to read it, I will be grateful for the experience.
Meanwhile I haven't been working on any other screenplays, but that is only because my friends and family have work that I have agreed to read and work on. I'm way ahead of my curve for the year with the self imposed goal of four completed screenplays. I can afford to take a month off, and then considering I went from a 40k word count to a nearly 70k word count on my recent novel. Well I can afford to take it easy if I like.
Now that's not to say I've been completely resting on my laurels. In the past twenty four hours, I have set up a business plan for my movie and the company attached to it. Done some basic location scouting. Sent out ads on Craigslist for a DoP (director of photography) and responded personally to every email that I have received. Needless to say a busy day for me looks fun, but whoa! if people knew what I really do in the course of a day. It looks easy sitting in a chair and surfing the web, but if they knew how much I read...
Well more words than a professional reader. How much do I type in a day? More than a busy receptionist at a lawfirm. I type my own letters, read my own material, read others material, do research. Now tell me thats not work.
But it's all for a reason. To Succeed.
