New screenplay

Very quickly wrote the first nine pages of a new screenplay this morning, one I have structured pretty tightly so it progressed easily. I'm sure I'll have the usual second act challenges later.

Also brooding about how to crank up the one in greater progress. Almost always, the first reaction to a new screenplay from my agent is, "Crank it up!" Gives away my background as a playwright, I think, more naturally given to small dramatic character stories than Big Larger Than Life stories, which are what sell more easily (and which, therefore, my agent wants). But I'm having fun with the challenge. Truly so. I do more serious work in other formats.
