Happy Birthday, John!
Happy Birthday, John! And in other news, finished the rough draft of the next Hollywood book (Saving Susie Sweetchild) - with a lot of work left to do! The rough draft is always the hardest, the second draft - the one where I need to line up the continuity and make sure I explain WHY somebody is making attempts on Our Hero's life - is in some ways nearly as much work, but a lot more fun. I think someone once described the rough draft as akin to what I think is called a "table read" in drama - the characters are all sitting around in sweatshirts and jeans just getting the dialog in line. Second draft is adding in costumes and settings and lighting and music.
