#draft7

#TheCollab #Draft8 has begun with importing changes made to the original #draft7 before my computer crashed in April. Feeling extremely validated in my tenacity in recovering it. Huge thanks to my dad for sharing in that hopeful stubbornness and remotely supporting me through the half-dozen or more crackings open of my laptop that it took to get here. . . . #backupyourdata #playwright #playwrightlife #theatre #newwriting #london https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnLajdF2Ii/?igshid=pemb0ofghx59

Final dialogue clean-up and then this draft of #TheCollab is DONE --and ahead of schedule too. There are still a few small things I want to rescue from #Draft7's previous iteration on my old (trashed) hard drive, though this may not be possible. Honestly, it took a lot to get started again. That first day was hellish, remembering *that* I changed something, but not *how* I did it. But I've done it. There are a few things that are placeholders, and which will be fixed one way or another in the next one, but I was able to move onwards. . . . #playwright #playwrightlife #computerwoes https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYizobFwBY/?igshid=15azwvga5tdlx

I'm on a roll today! I finished draft 6 which focused on the why of the story and the overall big parts of the plot. There r still a few small plot things to add but those can come in later. Now for characterization and the "why" of the characters. #amwriting #characters #draft7 #writerlife
