Working for my writing
I have underestimated how much time it takes to write as well as film editing work I've been involved with lately. Like writing, film editing is slow and time consuming process of understanding the material and presenting it in order to effectively communicate the meaning and the feeling inherent in the material. Now I can understand why professional writers average 5 script pages a day on a good day. Interestingly enough, professional editors averages 5 minutes of footage a day to edit. So plan your work accordingly: cheap, fast, and good--you get to pick only two.
Although I publically claimed that I would've finished my two shorts scripts last week, I'm still laboring on them as I was out of for a good whole week after getting down with cold. The headche was murder that I had to nurse it with good films that I meant to watch. (Sin City was the best dose, by far.) However, I'm back in the game, and I'm more realistic that I will finish one of the short script-I don't know which one, by the next week, and the other in following week. I promised my friend/supporter that I would have my new feature script finished by next month, which puts a quite good pressure on me to pound the keyboards.
