Only the other day someone asked me about the romantic comedy and I sighed heavily and explained that, while the sixth draft is done, it now sits waiting for someone to throw some money at it. "Something could happen with it tomorrow, or not for years" I said.
Then last night I got a brief email from my producer asking me to put together a new synopsis as he had someone that might be interested in making it.
It seems that this is how this particular industry works (at least on my low rung of the ladder). Up one minute, down the next.
Frankly, right now, I could do with the 'up' side of that, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed, although not without the hefty chunk of skepticism that I've had to incorporate into the 'dream' of this project becoming a reality.
In other news, Sword of Bad is on track for coming in woefully short of its expected 120 pages (we're talking almost half of that)! At this point it's only a bare-bones pass at the first draft, but even so it's the first script I've written which hasn't naturaly hit its page count.
