Sunday, January 15

Ted went off to James' house again after breakfast, so we had another day with just Mia and Hattie and me. We thought about walking the dog again, but we ended up doing a trip into town before Argos closed so Hattie could spend her Christmas money on an MP3 player, which she's suddenly realised she can't do without.

After that we went over to ASDA and got some food shopping.

Kind of a mirror image of yesterday. Weird.

Worked on my script again tonight and now up to about page 30. So about a third of the way through. I originally planned a 120 minute movie but I think that's a little long, so 90 minutes would be better. So equate a minute to a page (as you do) and 90 pages.

It's going really well. I've never written a full length screenplay before, and when I have it's been absolute torture. This is a personal story, I mean apart from the vampire bit, so it's easier because I relate to the way the characters interact. And it's easily the best thing I've written for a long time. I feel really good about this film generally, and it's definitely going to be part one of a trilogy.
