In The Trenches—The Founder’s Daily Report: Day 322—Missing Scene!

Day 322:  Scene 26 is done!  For now.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is I realized we didn’t include a scene we know will be in the movie on our master revised structure scene list!  So, one more scene down, one more added.  Now, there is somehow 16 scenes to go when a few days ago there was only 15 to go.  I seem to be swimming against some kind of unseen current.  No matter how long I paddle forward for, I just keep getting swept back to where I started.  Deep sigh.

Well, for one thing, I keep putting a “not done” box around scenes that I know I have to go back into and do more work on.  For example, meltdown scene 14.  And then there’s the missing scene I just discovered.  Oh well.  What can you do?  I just have to keep plugging away.  And I really have to remind myself over and over again that I’m only ever done for now anyway.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…for now.
