The final draft is underway. It's strange looking at how much Sadomasochism: A Love Story has progressed from the first draft, hell, even as an idea. It's not a comedy, there are comedic moments, but not enough to have it be a comedy.
Establishing tone without having the main couple beating the shit out of each other in the first scene is... hard. My third draft is pretentious as crap, buh, and of course I thought it was edgy at the time. Looking back at it now just makes me cringe. The ending is a little weak, so I'll have to beef it up without going over the top-- aka having everyone fight at prom is a little hard to believe.
It's been fun. I know for sure that I am NOT doing a romance, not for the next script I write. Just because I want to try something new. But I'll always have a special place in my heart for my favorite masochist and sadist, Chuck and Nancy. Those crazy kids... you gotta love 'em.
This is me, tipping my hat, and I've got a smile on my face.
All in all, I'm feeling good.

The Problem with Drama
I don't think that my strong suit, as a writer, is being funny. Which kind of sucks because everyone loves to laugh.
So I tried my hand a drama. Hahaha, apparently I'm a bit melodramatic. Typical woman! Zing!
In all seriousness, drama's a tough cookie to sink your teeth into. I think it's scary to try and make it too real because "real is boring" or so we're told. But if it's too over the top... then people laugh for all the wrong reasons. That, and it's a downer to write.
But! I'm done with the second draft! The notes just came in! Back to work!

Should be asleep...
so this is going to be a quick post.
Avengers was awesome. I saw it with Dave and Steph-- it was a fun movie. Not the best movie ever, but a lot of fun, and I'd see it again just for the Hulk. The Hulk was my favorite part (for me, the best part) of the entire film.
Co-op is good. I managed to get a second draft done, which I'm very proud of. Cut over three quarters of stuff from the first draft because it was rubbish. I think it flows a lot better now. But we'll see. Now it's for the third draft... scary!
