It's a Boy


Mockingbird is born. The stats:  98 pages and 21,300 words. And he looks really, really good because he was delivered in Final Draft software.  And what an ordeal because I delivered twins: Mockingbird and HoMe. HoMe was born about two weeks ago at 62 pages and 18,100 words.

Labour involved writing HoMe twice and Mockingbird three times. So, in the past month I have typed 100,100 words plus had a diagnosis of bronchiectasis and had a lung biopsy and its side effects. Yes, that is correct: In a month — 100,000 words. It's amazing what you can do when you get up at 4:00 am every morning and stay focused until from noon to 2:00 pm.

What you see above is one page of my script. Final Draft software forces you into the standard format of scripts. It is such a complete rush to see it. I love the sense of accomplishing something that has involved learning new skills.

Tonight, I party with friends.
