Got up at 3 a.m. and back to editing. Have the first 17 minutes in pretty good shape. Not much to go. Will come in at what? a bit less than half an hour? But the ending is by far the hardest to write. I'll take my time with it.
Shoot tomorrow. Need it to go well.

The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
"Having written almost daily for over 40 years, I can say that writing is not a job or a vocation or a profession--it is an existence. It is a way of being in the world."
