Finally

I decided to stop procrastinating this weekend and start redlining screenplay #1. The goal is to incorporate suggestions made to me by the producer/director that originally expressed interest in my screenplay and to try to edit the script to distinguish it from the Fox project that is so like mine.

I've had friends tell me that I was ripped off and should take some sort of action. What I tell them is that if Fox hadn't registered the domain name before I wrote my screenplay, I would approach Fox with an offer. After all, I have the forensic proof that I wrote the script first. As it stands, though, I really have no case and Fox would eat me alive.

So the red lines are coming along. I'm making a few passes - pass one is to handle the obvious changes. Hopefully, by the final pass, I'll have come up with a sellable title like my original one was!

A note on specifics ... because I wish to stay anonymous until I sell something big, I won't be mentioning any titles or premises of my projects in this blog. I'll come out of the "closet" (so to speak) if it looks like I'll have a published major work as a result of my efforts.

I finished draft #4 of short story #1 and gave it to Leia to read. Meanwhile, I continued the first draft of short story #2. This has been keeping me busy this holiday weekend.

That's all for today. Have a great rest of your weekend!
