Open Wardrobes

Yesterday afternoon Kelly and I went to the Tea Source and I wrapped up the very rough draft of the Adaptation. It is indeed VERY rough, my goal with this first pass mostly being to start laying out the structure and figure out what parts from the book I want to keep and what definitely needs to be cut. So far I don't feel like I've had to cut too much (it's not an extremely long book). The next pass will, I think, be focused on streamlining the structure so that I can keep scene changes and technical needs to a minimum. In the rough draft I was also pulling out the dialogue from the book I think I want to keep, plus starting to add in my own dialogue where it's clear that some sort of bridge is needed. For the moment though I'm going to set it aside as I start to work on revisions to the commedia piece. But it's exciting to think that since January 1st I've written an entire rough draft (the commedia) and picked up and completed a second draft (the Adaptation).
