Today’s Progress

Today I started and finished a detailed step outline of the romantic comedy(-esque) feature I’m working on and then wrote the first seven pages of that script. It was a nice little break from all the spec writing I’ve been doing since the characters and concept are all mine.

While I won’t divulge the plot, it’s definitely more in the Kevin Smith/Edgar Wright/Judd Apatow vein of humor than your typical romantic comedy. After working several months on a kid’s comedy-adventure script, it’s kind of fun to be as crass on paper as I allow myself to be with my closest friends.

Of course, this is just distracting me from my non-genre-specific (maybe dark comedic?) script that I submitted for Sundance’s Screenwriter’s lab. That baby still has quite a lot of work that needs to be done. (Is it procrastinating if I’m still doing something productive?)
