cathschaffstumpToday’s work so far.
Writing the first draft of a Tim and Bianca scene writing to Dr. Livy. It’s also a sweet scene where Tim asks Bianca out in spite of her youthful insecurities.
Writing the first draft of Tony encounters Marshall again. It’s a really playful exchange with Tony and his friends at lunch about how to handle the bully. When I was writing this scene, I think I figured out Nate’s character and Alex’s characters, so I went back and changed Alex to Nate in the spitball scene. Alex is the tae kwon do confident Korean kid. Nate is the kid who exacerbates bully trouble. George is the goofy offbeat kid. Mike is the amiable nerd. Got it.
Writing the first draft of Nonna talking to Livy about Leo. Discovered that Leo doesn’t necessarily understand that he’s Hercules. That changes a lot, so I need to re-envision the next parts of the draft.
Spent some time reading up on wrestling maneuvers to revise the El Toro scene .
ETA: Couldn’t quite manage the revision of El Toro’s match. I need to let that sit. Information has been modified accordingly, and I’ll start there next session, adding in Tony and Bianca to the audience, and labeling the wrestling commentary.
