Well, I've completed the first draft and have spent the weekend going through to 'spruce' it up. Funny thing, sprucing. In my case it means finding more jokes, trimming dialogue, and making some of the longer/chatty scenes more active. Less tell more show. This has been quite a journey. Many ups and downs. Many "I'm a genius" tempered with "I'm clinically retarded". Somewhere in the middle I lie, fingers crossed hoping my shiny moments outweigh my thinner something-better-here-but-I-don't-know-what moments. Ken Levine says you only need one person to be interested in your spec script. From now on I shall call this person: The One.
I'm sending the newest draft to my agent tomorrow and they'll be sending it to producers and show runners and potential "The One's".
I fully intend to have good news next week even if it's only: "No one is interested...YET."
