I finally made it through this draft. 258 pages; 54, 915 words. And Ace's voice still sort of vanishes in the last two chapters. I'll go back through it a few times and bring him back to life in that area, then print up a hard copy and make corrections for typos and missing words on there (I'm really bad about that) then input them and that will be that.
For now. Knowing me. Because I have 12 days left before my deadline and I'll probably use every damn one of them up. Just to make sure I've got it as good as I can get it.
Not that I'm obsessive or compulsive or anything like that.
I'm getting the itch to do some sketching, again. The last piece of work I did was of Dave Mason, the guy behind Slick-It-Up wear. That was a face. I want to do a figure now. Just need to find the right model. All the way through school and for the first five years after I graduate, I was an artist. For a while it even looked like I'd wind up doing graphic novels.

This is midway through the opening sequence that sets the stage...done as he heads away from a ship, past rows of containers sitting on Long Beach harbor, memories flooding his mind.
I wrote it with minimal dialog and feel the script is just right -- but it's very non-linear and difficult to follow unless you can picture it as you go. Which is why I think it would work perfectly as s graphic novel.

I could be wrong...but I doubt it.
