New projects

Rec'd a video submission for the journal and spent time preparing it this morning. Also done with first take on a new splay in Contour, structured, 44 plot points, we'll let it settle a few days, revise, and then start writing script pages and see how it works.

A good batch of midterms although a few still are shooting themselves in the foot. Managing space and time as a screenwriter is their main problem, i.e. they do so as a fiction writer, unaware of screen time and scene space (slugline management). Basic misunderstanding of the form, blueprint v. literary document.
