Thanks!

Same. Exactly. Carry on to the end and then leave. If I stop halfway through for revise that’s a killer. So get anything down and then revise a year later.

I think at the time it was written that science was probably believable. Spending so much time on it in the film, the making of the lab, the silver is just a bit dull for me. There’s no magic there. And then I think what a brilliant film Frankenweenie is. Total magic.

I wasn’t keen. Didn’t make the end. It was well made and acted just not for me. I think I’d like a modern day lo-fi version.

They also come with stands made out of LEGO but I wanted to stick them to the wall.

Treat yourself! I initially thought it was going to be a nightmare making them but I loved it. And they look good.

Just the 1800 pieces. It was like being 8 again. And great!

Yeah carry on in the present. Keep your best mind for the new stuff and when you’re tired / got a spare 30 minutes go back and change the earlier stuff to present?

Do you need to do it now? I’d probably finish it and then go through line by line when you’re done. Going back halfway through can be fatal in my experience because you lose that impetus and get bogged down.

My best editing tip:

Leave what you’ve written for a year. When you go back it’s clear what’s wrong with it and you’ll zip through the process. (Saving up to a year in the hard slog of editing.)
