The Story of the Film So Far

As we told you last time, Novel #6 is shaping up nicely. We decided it was time for a read-through of the work so far, so that’s how we spent a good chunk of the holiday weekend. One of the main reasons we wanted to do it was to get a sense of how the parallel threads are meshing and how the beats line up.

Overall we were quite pleased, but we do have a few places marked for adjustments. Naturally we aren’t stopping here to try to fix anything, because we need to keep up our momentum. But looking at what you’ve accomplished can be very motivating.

The writing will soon bring us up to the end of the first act. The second act is quite different and it feels good to have the tone of things so far firmly in mind as we near that transition. Although we had only a few notes, the read-through gave us a lot to talk about and energized us to keep going.
