Strike that, reverse it…
Quite a few friends are posting their TO DO lists on their blogs, Livejournals, Facebooks, etc. I’ve actually enjoyed reading them as it gives me a sense of how everyone fares while insanity ensues. So here goes my turn:
TODAY
1. Grade 3 massive student projects
2. Read/Critique/Grade 8 thirty-page screenplays
3. Prepare dough for 24 hour No Knead Bread
Awesome stuff. Bake this bread and then freeze it. When ready to eat, just pop in the oven @ 300 for 15 minutes.
4. Laundry – every blanket in the house
5. Wrap Fig Trees in preparation for snow/ice storm
6. Decorate Kitchen (Living Room already done)
7. Rewrite an abstract for a conference paper
8. Plug a story hole in an outline at the editor’s request
SUNDAY
1. Read/Critique/Grade 8 thirty-page screenplays
2. Clean shelves throughout house
3. Work more on outline revisions
Ready to Stop Circling and Start Rewriting?
If you've got a draft and a diagnostic full of red flags, you don't need more coffee and willpower. You need a plan, a structure, and a room full of writers doing the work alongside you.
The Screenplay & TV Pilot Rewrite Workshop runs July 11 through September 26, 2026 — twelve Saturdays, 2:00 PM ET, live on Zoom. Small group. Real feedback on your actual pages, every week. A six-phase framework that moves from structural diagnosis all the way through line-level polish.
You'll leave with a rewritten script. Not a half-finished revision. A rewritten script. Registration is now open.
MONDAY
1. Read/Critique/Grade 8 thirty-page screenplays
2. Get car serviced
3. Nail outline
4. Bake Seven Layer Cookies
Three days is enough for now — I’ll update as I go along. Obviously, the above (and what’s to come) will require equal doses of lunacy and Legavullin).
