***HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR JENNIFER!***
I've been E&T revising my script according to the Notes I got from the director, producers et al.. I was told the the Notes wouldn't be major - but I've heard that one too often to believe it. This time it was true. Hooray! Very straightforward. No structural notes at all. Again - Hooray! I was asked to cut a few scenes. But these cuts didn't affect the structure. So, other than my back killing me after spending hours at my desk, it was pretty painless.
If this goes forward as planned next month (I've been in the business far too long to take ANYTHING for granted) - then I will have fulfilled my lifelong dream of writing a 1940's style movie about the families left behind in small-town America during the war years. -- With the added bonus of TAP DANCING. Yes, tap dancing. What could be more fun? The great part about writing is you get to play all the roles. Just call me Maria Miller. Or Panni Powell.
