I’m feeling reet chuffed with meself at the moment. Not only is Greetings inching closer and closer to completion (just wee wee and door cracking fx to do!), I’ve also smashed my world record by actually completing more than 70 pages of a screenplay and still feel good about getting to the finishing post.
Yes, The Trimes (I’m still trying to think of a better name) trundles ever onwards towards that elusive page 110 (or in this case it probably be nearer 130). And I’m feeling really good about it. In fact it’s shaping up even better than I’d imagined.
One definite bonus of all those weeks of plotting is being able to follow up on the advice that Deb Chesher gave me about ensuring you revise the plot as you go so you don’t end up down a dead end. With the detailed plot courtesy of Dramatica and Save the Cat, it’s easy to tweak the plot and keep focus on the dramatic needs of each scene.
Now if I can put this baby and Greetings to bed before the end of July I’ll be a happy bunny…

I finally got to watch Hot Fuzz the other day. Good God, that is a fine bit of filmmaking. Edgar Wright – My hat goes off to you…
