Lights, camera… panic!

Morning:
Turns out, formatting a screenplay is more complicated than wrangling chaotic plot lines. Who knew margins and slug lines could haunt your dreams? If you see me muttering about Courier 12pt, just nod.

Midday:
Dream: writing in the wild beauty of the Highlands.
Reality: midges have declared me their all-you-can-eat buffet.
Indoors it is.

Afternoon:
After wrangling margins, fonts, and more formatting nightmares than any horror novel, my screenplay template is finally done. Now the real challenge begins: turning my novel into a film. Lights, camera… panic!
