My wife will be the first to tell you that I am as anally retentive as they come! I try not to be, I can't help it but I take great pleasure in blaming my mother back in England for that trait! If the fire mantle wasn't displayed symmetrically, or picture frames weren't all level and evenly spaced apart it would be upsetting to her! :) (Love you Mum, mean it!)
So, with that being said, I am over the moon today to discover that, with all the prep I have done in regards to setting up to begin writing this script, my second plot point which is supposed to turn my protags life around again and set them up for the final part of their journey to the end of the film has hit exactly on the right page that it is supposed too. Page 90! I am most pleased. And with that, I am at a total of 93 pages as of this morning. Act One and Act Two are complete! YES!
Now the fun part. Act Three. The final Act. The last 30 pages or so where I must steer my protag to his final destination, tie up all loose ends that have been revealed during the previous 90 pages and finish with the denouement. That ever faithful closing to the story. The discovery that Bruce Willis is actually dead in The Sixth Sense, or that the majority of Mulholland Drive was the disturbing dream and imagination of Diane, or the winning of a Dodgeball tournament by a bunch of down and out loosers who had difficulty stringing a coherent sentence together at the beginning of the film!
I love ACT THREE!
