Nth Script Draft On Hold

Maybe it was the time change...

I was feeling sick and slept most of yesterday, so I didn't get as much work done on the new draft as I wanted (draft nine, by my own internal counting system). No telling if I'll also crash out tonight. I'm feeling pretty woozy right now and Mondays are always long days here at work...

Yeah. I know. Excuses, excuses. But I'm excited to incorporate Ernest and Brandon's notes. I can only hope that they are feeling better than me -- and gathering resources for the business, the reading, etc.

Ten Manipulations (draft eight) is out to another director. No telling if he'll read it, although I'm pretty sure I can convince him to come to the reading. We need some new energy, a new jolt that even a really bangin' draft nine just won't give us. Or maybe I'm just feeling that way because of the organ grinder in my stomach and the monkey in my head.

Dance, you filthy monkey, dance.
