My physical therapist gave me homework for the weekend. Five simple exercises. Three of them *are* simple. One is challenging, and another is just plain painful. I did them today–or most of them. I did more today than I did last night. The two difficult ones are supposed to be … Continue reading →
Whew! Holly and I have been running from shortly after 6am this morning. She was working on a proposal, and I was rewriting on PBOTL. We just finished. She’s off to get something to eat–I suspect she eats more than swords and drinks more than cold water, but even with … Continue reading →
Good progress today. Got my words back plus a few. The comedy sketch will need reworking, but I got the first cut done. Thanks to RuthAnne’s Bob Newhart suggestion, I stopped at BestBuy this afternoon and picked up his double album–the one I wanted and coincidentally, the only one they … Continue reading →
Made good progress this morning. Of course, in pondering a really lame piece of dialog, I was reminded I need to be able to defend why my words are appearing in this particular production. Even more critical, my words need to be able stand on their own for why they … Continue reading →
I Two-Day ordered some Fireworks-specific books that will hopefully keep Fireworks from bruising me further when I work on it this weekend. In the interim, I did some more work on PBOTL. I added 250 more words, most of which help complete the picture of what my characters are doing … Continue reading →
Making nice progress on PBOTL. Holly and I sprinted to get work done before I had to leave for my post op appointment this morning. I have to sit in on a teleconference for work this afternoon, so I might not get much more done today. The knee is doing … Continue reading →
I’m trying to lay out my new website design in Fireworks. I’ve done the lessons in the book for the sample website. I’m trying to adapt those lessons to what I want to do. They use round buttons with images overlaid. Cool, but not exactly what I want. I want … Continue reading →
Progressing nicely, I think. Tweaking here and there. There are some decent dialog passages. I finished at the point where I had a comment to myself that as a reader, I’d be screaming at the bear to get mad, so I’ll have to see about that. I added a section … Continue reading →
Today, I started the real work. The real rewriting. I’m on page 20 of 180. I’ve cut something like fifteen pages, yet I’ve added about 700 words (most of the page cutting came from formatting changes–which may still not be correct). I added a short scene and deleted a different … Continue reading →
PBOTL First Pass Revisions are complete. I’ve also constructed the timeline. Yes, I know some people do this first, but the Bear dictated to me, so I didn’t know the timeline until it was finished. Nine and half years of timeline it is, too. I’ve tried to fix a few … Continue reading →
