Procrastination

When I worked in the "real world" I always prided myself that my filing and emails were completely up to date.  Anything other than work, be it connected with home responsibilities, shopping or hobbies and family time was completely out of office hours.

Now, however, that I am at home I have to confess :

.... my physical filing is in disarray but not un-fixable, worse still I have so many unopened emails I shan't reveal!  

I am, however, making sure I have time for reading and writing, cooking, gym and music!

Hone Time - After #NanoWriMo and my structured 50,000 word Story

Hone in this instance means to optimize, improve, better, enhance, refine.

I want to cover absolutely every aspect of my manuscript.

Because of this inter alia I have sought out several tool skill "screenwriting blue books" written by William C. Mantell.  This is not because I envisage the story I have created to become a movie, but rather because of what can happen to a story when it becomes a script and thereafter, before it is shown on screen.

I am aware that a scriptwriter can live in a world where entire dialogue of a story can be wiped out and re-written.  Even an actor can himself change dialogue.

As I start my very first edit I plan to be like a scriptwriter of my own work, a huge critic of every scene written, and to optimize my manuscript in the best way possible.  

No pressure!!
