Looks like we flew by 1,500 words! I have to apologize for not congratulating you all earlier. I caught the flu and had to take a day off from work and writing!

I did rent a bunch of movies, though, so time was not wasted or lost. I actually suggest taking a night off to watch a few movies, plays, TV shows, or read through a few comic books. I found watching a couple movies (one award-winning drama, one slapstick comedy) super helpful. I watched for character and plot arcs. I payed more attention to the dialogue. I noticed how each scene built on the other. All in all, it was a great refresher course in how a screenplay works.

It was also exciting to see the final product of a script. I feel totally inspired!

So take a night off, rent some DVDs, pop some popcorn!

Happy watching (for a night),
Tavia
