at last!
An unexpected phone call yesterday morning turned into a two-hour line edit of my TV pilot draft! I’m giving myself until the weekend to turn around a second draft. Great suggestions and comments - now I just have to swallow them all, stir them up in my brain and then regurgitate them as words on the page. Cinchy.
Trying to remember through this process that even though the other parties involved are infinitely more experienced (this is what they do for a living), that my ideas and opinions are just as valuable. Not to bend over backwards to accommodate a note that I think is off-target, but rather to look at what is tweaking them about that aspect of the script. I have a really clear vision of what the series is/could be, and sometimes I feel like they get off track and I have to gently guide them back towards the endpoint.
