So what am I currently writing to? What’s the plan, as it were. well….here’s the plan:

The other acts are filled out, these are still in mostly to hold everything in its place. We’ve gone through this part about a hundred times, and it has evolved pretty heavily since the first outline got spat out. Part of that is ideas sitting with us over time and we felt different about them, and part of it was getting to know our story better. When we took a long hard look at what it was we were trying to say, some events, some character traits, and a lot of moments we loved, were tossed aside in favour of newer, better ideas. Getting to know this story, has been like getting to know a person for me. As time passes I find deeper understanding of the story’s meaning and personality, and since I’m the one telling you about my friend, I’d better know her pretty well.

The plan is that have the first act on paper for monday of next week. Slower then I had hoped back in February, but the bottom line is that I really had my head in my ass about what was still needed back then. Ambition is all well and good, but it’s only worthwhile if there’s a focus for it.
