FADE OUT

I finished the first draft of the commercial project. I drafted an entire splay in a week., Have only done that a few times in my career. In this case, not all that impressive since the story is there whole, I am re-contextualizing a classic. It really felt like grunt work, even though there are several surprises I'm delighted with, almost like "real writing" ha ha. There's always a sense in which screenwriting is not like "real writing" -- novelists, poets -- and all. That's probably why it's so much more fun!
