More progress
Made it to page 62 today. I think another 40 or so pages, and I'll be done. The first version of Snafu was written in Word (don't laugh!), and the second version is in Final Draft.
The version written in Word was 79 pages, and my target for draft 2 is 90 pages. However, I think simply keeping what I have is going to be around 90 pages in Final Draft. This does not take into account the new stuff I'm adding.
For example, I'm writing the second gas station scene. This is on page 42 in draft 1. In draft 2, even though there really isn't a whole lot that's changed...this is located on page 62. I wonder if I'll have to trim things.
Oh well. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I think the way I'm going to approach this second draft is simply transfer everything to Final Draft, then make a lot of my changes that need to be made. Like adding the dream sequence. And giving Rick a southern accent.
I think this second draft is going to be a lot better. And I think I'm actually going to finish it. This is all very, very good news.
