Working Title: Living With Uriel Sam & Uriel
Genre: Comedy
My screenplay is: Juno meets Dexter
Today I learned: Giving your supporting characters (I almost just called them NPCs, ha!) funky names is a way to ensure you’ll give them a moment of sparkling goodness on the ’screen,’ rather than a drab functionality. For instance, today Sam & Uriel was infused with these winners: WHITE HAIRED GIRL, CRAB-EATER TWO, and TIGHTEST PANTS BOY. There are, admittedly, a few ‘GIRL’s and ‘GUY’s in there, and I think at least one ‘MAN’ by now (what’s the difference between a GUY and a MAN?), but I know better now.

Morale: It was ebbing there for a while, until I realized now I only need to write about 6ish pages per day to reach the requisite 100, which shouldn’t be TOO hard since my final university exam for the year is over with tomorrow. (She said, naively, grossly underestimating the true magnetic pull of other distractions, like video games pursuing some good literature.)
