In The Trenches—The Founder’s Daily Report: Day 318—A gift!

Day 318:  Scene 24 is done!  For now.  I did one scene today—one very easy, “it was already a solid cut by Dan the Amazing Editor Man or Producing Partner I’m not sure which” scene—but technically, I knocked off three!  Why?  Well, as I get deeper into the story, it becomes clearer when certain scenes just aren’t going to make it in the final cut.  I’ve been suspecting this for a while but finally brought it up to Producing Partner this afternoon and he agrees.  Scenes 26 and 28:  GONE.  Which means, that’s two less scenes I have to go in and edit for this pass.  What a gift!  It’s Christmas morning right now.  Woo hoo!

15 scenes to go.

The night is young.  I’m going to go for another one.  Up next:  Scene 25.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…unexpected gifts.
