I found myself writing on ”ERG”.
I’ve told you before about me realizing that the script was becoming too short. One of the reasons for this was the complete lack of introduction; a minimal first act.
Earlier I had added a little in the beginning and now I found myself adding more. And it was good.
And so fundamental that I could not understand how I could have missed it in the first place.
The story includes a computer program. I had missed to introduce this program! I thought I had, but honestly, you only get it if you already know it.
“Hello!” My husband tried to get my attention. “We are supposed to be leaving now!”
“Hum, yeah. . . coming” I saved and took my Notebook along. I flipped it open again the minute I had a chance.
17 minutes of battery time left. No time to sit around and think. Keep on writing.
I wrote as long as I dared and while the warnings of an imminent shutdown and possible loss of data became more and more prominent.
The last thing I did was typing “XXX Add something here XXX” between two scenes.
Because now there was a jump in time between the scene and just had written and the following and as it is now, it is impossible to detect.
I have some thought what to put here though.
I don’t know if this expansion of my microscopic first act will solve the shortness of the whole script, but it sure didn’t make it worse.
