"Koalas. They're telepathic. PLUS they control the weather." - The Nines

On an occupational scale, I suppose screenwriter would qualify as a 9 as defined by John August. Most of us struggle to be decent 7's. And while I endeavor to be a 9, I shall remain a 7 for the short term, at least. Being an 8 would be pretty sweet, though.

With that cryptic, non-spoiling post behind me, I can now focus on Class Eve - the night before class. My next structured foray into screenwriting education begins at midnight. The core of my last class will remain intact for the new one. Hopefully, I can catch up on pages.

After a major shift in story, most of "Protocol" had to be relegated to the 'Prev Drafts' folder. Here I was on page 42, scratching my head, when a bomb went off. I had to return to the index cards to outline my new storyline. So far, I've got 8 pages and a few scenes I can probably salvage.

Rewriting. It's all part of the process. I wish it had happened sooner. Glad it wasn't later.
