Thinking about something else

Just sent a revised version of the M* screenplay to the producer. I’ve been struggling with this one, trying to include some suggestions from the new director, some of them not all that clear. Then again, sometimes it gets hard to see your story clearly when you’ve worked on it for so long.

All my energy has been focused on this task for the last few weeks and it’s been hard to think about anything else. The days have been long and weekends have been short. Thank god someone is making sure that I don’t stick to a cereal or a take-out diet (I would if I lived alone).

The producer has promised me some feedback for tomorrow. There’s a bit of a rush, you see. Her husband has a big meeting at an agency in LA next week and someone promised them to directly hand the screenplay to a big name actor who has his agent there. No pressure, really. ;-) I don’t have my hopes up (cause that’s the kind of person I am) but hey, you never know. Crazy things happen and this actor might have his reasons to want to come back to Canada for a shoot.

Damn. My butt is sore from sitting too much and I can’t see straight from all the hours spent in front of the computer. I don’t know how well I’ll do at badminton tonight…
