So with time to catch up on what we wished we had done over Christmas tonight we all exchanged scripts which makes for some interesting reading and a reality check. As the agreed deadline approached the heads bowed and the laptop keyboards received more abuse than they had in weeks. “Can you guys touch type? Because I totally can.” was one of the few utterances in otherwise concentrated silence.
Deadlines do work damn it. Maybe we should have hourly deadlines to encourage this frantic pace. For the first time in a long time all three of thought we did a good day’s work. Yay us.
Not only that, we are also talking major deadlines for completing this thing. We are now publicly stating this thing will be ready in March.
Tomorrow morning we will sit down and have good read. Hopefully we will see a great story arch spanning 3 episodes and we will know we are one step closer to closing the gap on the structure issues and we can move on start putting in the gloss and sparkle.
