The Plunge

Consider my 'IN' faded. I put Final Draft to work today and produced my first six mediocre pages in just six hours. Only an hour per page? That's a reality check I had previously dismissed. I figured bits of dialogue and narrative and a whole lot of spacing would mean rapid progression, but I quickly found myself revising on the fly. I'm sure that's normal, but it sure draws out the process. I've already tweaked those few pages a number of times, but I know I'll end up rewriting much of it, if not all, at some point. Still, it's a start. Writing is underway. Some pages are better than none. It can only get better from here.
