Interestingly enough, the biggest breakthrough I've had about this script is changing the political party of the main character. Up until then, it had no edge. Now, I can't stop everything from falling into place. Of course, in a week I could be stuck again and bemoaning the fact that I started a fourth script that's gone nowhere. But for right now, it's pretty cool.
Habits are funny things.
Lee and I have somehow fallen into a Monday afternoon ritual. When I get back from running, I call her and we go out for lunch at On the Border. Then we spend the rest of the day hanging around her house doing absolutely nothing. I guess it's just that we've known each other long enough that it doesn't matter to us if we're coming up with anything fun to do. Every once in a while, I think that I'll just stay home and write, or read a novel, or go out to the mall or something, but as soon as I've taken my shower and gotten dressed after a run around the lake on Monday, I'm on the phone.
