Another Screenplay Update
I finished reformatting the script several days ago. The page count is currently about 135 total. Wow! The only work I have done on the script in the past week or so, are minor touch-ups and additional reformatting. Parentheticals have created quite a hairy challenge for me.
I picked up two screenwriting books, on the recommendation of two trusted friends. (Thank you Harry and Chris.) I am only about 50 pages into the first. What I have read, seems to fall in line with my script work so far. If that changes, I would not be the least bit surprised.
I have had a block on the writing, and reading the beginning of my script today, now opened up a new, difficult plot hole. It's a biggie, but I am determined to make it work. Otherwise, not much will happen in my story. Ugh!
I thought it was going so well, but making final connections to get where I have already written (in particular, the ending) has not been a super easy task. There are so many things that need to be answered, and I am at a crossroads to which ideas/plot lines could be taken as "willing suspension of disbelief" or which ones have to be answered to make any of this story plausible.
Then again, it is a zombie movie, so the levels of "willing suspension of disbelief" are already through the roof. Hmmm...then again, I did see that zombie parading around on the corner of Wilson and Montrose the other day. It's not completely impossible. Hmmmm...
I need some INSPIRATION!!!

My little brother (he's 14) has recently really gotten into horror films, more specifically zombie movies. He and my Mom were in town for Thanksgiving and I was telling him about you. He wants to meet you next time they're in town. Too cute.
Hope all is well Michael! I am keeping my ears open for cool job openings.

A zombie fanatic in the making. Put a stop to it now. Just like the zombie virus, the fanatacism spreads just as quickly. Tell him, "Welcome!"
