On my current script project I am working with the part that Blake Snyder calls ”Bad Guy Closes In”. Now my hero is getting into trouble. She is newlywed. Her husband knows part of her criminal background but he does not know that he is married to a former assassin. Now her background is catching up with her. Police is closing in. So is the bad guy.
As I have said before, this is the first time that I have done my homework properly and filled out a beat sheet before I started writing. This time I feel that the tension builds up. It feels great.
It is interesting that some things that felt perfect when I made my beat sheet feels less perfect now. I think it is normal thing during the writing process that things turn up thatare not a part of the beat sheet. But still it creates a pause in the writing. A pause of amazement and a little irritation. And the joy of writing.
