My writer’s block suddenly just… stopped on Thursday. I finished the long treatment, solving the problems with the end that I had, and then wrote 18 pages of screenplay, all in about 5 hours on Thursday night. Yesterday, I wrote 14 pages more, and also sent what I had off to Øyvind, to get a second opinion.

He basically said, it’s pretty good, and he liked it, but it had some problems. Which was basically what I expected. I’m going to write this more or less straight through to the end now, and then go back and revise. However, a very rough first draft should be done this coming week.

This is a semi-spec mexploitation direct to video script, semi-spec meaning that I’m not paid to write it, but the production people specifically asked me to write something, because they were interested in what I could do. So I have hopes. If nothing else, Øyvind and I agree that it’s a lot better than the script for Bolas Chinas.

Wish me luck, I’m going back to writing.
