Getting the Flow Going

     Is it bad that I actually enjoy the pre-production stage? It involves a lot of ideas and a lot of "what if" plots and it just really allow a variety of twists to flow freely. Although, I might just be saying that now since the writer's block/creativity block and just all the blocks seem to be seeping out of my veins now.
     So to make this quick, there has been a lot of tweaking to the story this week and in turn many details have been added as well. For example, we made the poetry competition have an acronym: H.T.A.L.P. Aka, Plath backwards. It stands for Heroic Teens Advancing Lexical Poetry (it's a mouthful, I know). Re-reading the story really allows my partner and I catch some things and double check if this is the story we want to go with. Once the story was established, the beat sheet was basically done.
     The only thing that this week that caught me off guard was how sometimes completely different schedules leads to late nights. I'm sorry to Stephanie because of the only odd hours I could work this week. Nonetheless, I think in general it's already a great accomplishment to have both partners on the same page with their story. We're getting there, and now that the outline is all framed up it's time for the details.
