I also started a new screenplay, the one on my mind, despite being in the middle of reworking an old one. I was afraid to let my excitement for the new story dissipate before I got something on paper. I don't have the bitch of act two figured out but have great opening and ending.
A moment ago, I finished the draft. A complete draft in a week, not bad at all. Lots to keep but I'm trying some tricky things that require careful pacing and focus, likely a lot of work to do in this regard. But it's done! Now the fun, the real fun, begins.
And it's actually been a while since I've drafted a script in a week. The blessing of a story coming to me reasonably whole.
The genre is fantasy, I suppose, with a little "coming of age" thrown in. My agent may think it's nuts. We'll find out. So far, I really like it. It's a feel good story, and I have damn, damn few of those in me ha ha.

Interestingly enough, John, a piece of our old project AMERICANA is in this one.
