I think I'm finally finished with revising Crystal Palace 2.
I've read 500 Ways to Beat the Hollywood Script Reader, (which btw was a pretty nice and helpful book that I recommend), I've fixed so many problems, I've shortened the length to 128 pages Courier 12 with .5" margins, and now I'm putting it down. Nothing is technically ever done, when you think about it, it's 8 pages over the usual limit, and the copyright issues with the Shiver City and Shiver Mountain names are still there since this was once Paper Mario fanfiction, but I'm not even sending this thing to a script reader, I'm sending it to (technically) a family member and her husband for an opinion. If they want to share it with anyone else, I'll mention that it's a draft and not me flailing my arms for industry attention.
I'm still so so SO proud of myself for doing all this, though. Fuck modesty, I worked very hard and got many headaches over this movie. It now is a wonderfully flowing comedy with great illustrations and an informatory website. Finally! I can move on with my life! Move on with Crystal Palace 3... oh joy! Finish He's Having My Baby!
For now, those are going to be my only goals. When I keep things simple, I focus and I conquer, and I feel loads better when I conquer. Tilly & Jo is around the corner, I just don't know when yet because I want to get situated, but I'll feel it when the time is right.
I still haven't heard from any of my beta readers about the script. So... if none of you are actually gonna read it, just say so now so I can send it out as soon as possible.
