New screenplay

About two weeks ago, we started our next action comedy screenplay. We're breaking the story as we go along with this first draft, because we're pressed for time (I've set a goal of a solid draft by March) and we're also seeing what will happen when we let the comedy rise organically from the situations we've presented so far.

So far, things are going really well. I was able to work on the draft three times last week, and I had major discussions with my writing partner about the arcs for the main character and at least one of the supporting characters. There's a super clear goal and a great internal journey for the main, and I'm loving it.

Next week, my writing partner gets the script for one day, maybe two. If he ends up getting two days, I might not get two. Or I might. Not sure yet. On Monday, I'm definitely doing story work on a joint project we're working on with another writer. That one is likely quite a bit down the line, though, so you probably won't hear too much about that one for a while.
