DONE! 5.5 again. I thought I wasn't going to make it, I was procrastinating so much at the end there. But I'm glad I did. A few of them were good, some were quite bad, but 5 pages is 5 pages. There will be time for revision later.
The real problem at this point is that I've almost exhausted all of the thinking ahead I had done. I'm pretty sure I know what will happen in the coming pages, but I have no idea how. So from here on out, I may just be pulling shit out of my ass. There are two scenes I could write, if I start writing out of sequence. In fact, I think I will do that, because I bet I'll be able to figure out how much connective tissue is necessary if I write out the stuff that's already in my head.

My office moved to the LES on Aug 1st, so I found myself suddenly commuting 45 minutes each way to work instead of 10. I started out by committing myself to write script pages during the two trips. No page length goals - just sit during the to and fro and write whatever came out. I wrote the scenes I had thought about already, even though they were out of sequence. And some days, I added to scenes I'd already worked on as more material came to me.
The last two days of this month, I took off of work and wrote all the connective tissue. Typed everything into FinalDraft and made sure it made some kind of sense. So now, exactly one month later than the day I started the commute, I have a play! Done, and it felt so easy.
I'm rooting for ya! -Emily B.
