==================================
MARCH 2025
31/03
Handwritten - tentative start next Ryan scene. Few false starts how much to skip. Think got a solid starting idea now. Possible include Henry comparing scene? Maybe fit better in Part 4 or cut it.
---------------------------------------------------------
30/03
Typed up all 'decision' scene. Light edit, started typing up previous Albert scene.
---------------------------------------------------------
29/03
Finished typing up previous previous Albert scene. Light edits.
---------------------------------------------------------
26/03
Handwritten - reworked the scene, got a better ending now.
---------------------------------------------------------
24/03
Abandoned typing for now. On with handwritten - onto next Albert part. Thought had a good idea of how the scene went. Seemed a really good idea when pacing previous day - but wrote nothing down! Maybe it was never going to quite work as planned on the page?
---------------------------------------------------------
22/03
Started typing previous Albert scene. Got caught unhappy with part of it, dithered over how to fix.
---------------------------------------------------------
21/03
Handwritten - scene ended well? Turned out weirdly positive and defiant! Really liked it.
---------------------------------------------------------
20/03
Handwritten - into decision scene. Feels a bit loose, will need good edits. Could use more emotion, want to get in all the logical arguments, but comes across too dry for something so charged?
---------------------------------------------------------
19/03
Handwritten - finished the Albert scene, onto next Ryan.
---------------------------------------------------------
17/03
Handwritten - on with Albert to scene, to 'why not me?'. Need to flip parts of the conversation to flow better. This whole scene feels intensely cuttable. Started Not Technically Ghosts agent guide - before Spirit Rider for some reason!
---------------------------------------------------------
16/03
Typed Albert scene so far.
---------------------------------------------------------
15/03
Type up all prev Ryan scene, Light editing. Gave it a proper ending.
---------------------------------------------------------
14/03
Handwritten - started next Albert scene.
---------------------------------------------------------
13/03
Handwritten - finished the scene? Maybe a few more words to tie off neatly.
---------------------------------------------------------
10/03
Handwritten - on with the scene to door close.
---------------------------------------------------------
08/03
Type up handwritten. On with the scene up to leaving.
---------------------------------------------------------
07/03
Scrap most of yesterday. Was going to follow Albert through next meeting too, but better from Ryan POV. Tied off this scene with the reveal instead. Stronger ending. The jar can come 'off-screen'. Ryan POV presents opportunity to put Jason Worral scene BACK in! Handwritten - to Jason description.
---------------------------------------------------------
06/03
Handwritten - Albert going for the jar.
---------------------------------------------------------
05/03
Meeting all done, up to command return later.
---------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
17/02
Most of next conversation done.
---------------------------------------------------------
13/02
Rethought again. The school bit DOES fit really well as a build-up. Adding it back in and making more of a scene. Up to Kara part.
---------------------------------------------------------
09/02
Done next Albert scene in one sitting. Possibly too short? Could the important Lamprey bits here go elsewhere?
---------------------------------------------------------
08/02
Finished Ryan scene - to countdown. Resorted the days and cut out school this scene.
---------------------------------------------------------
07/02
Handwritten finish breakfast scene. Had started a bit into school day - rethought, too long, bit of a rehash of previous scenes? Thinking I could shift the timeline, have this part happen on a Sunday?
---------------------------------------------------------
06/02
Up to breakfast Benji chat.
---------------------------------------------------------
05/02
Handwritten start of next Ryan scene.
---------------------------------------------------------
04/02
Finished ball scene. Decided to cut a scene which would have followed and which I'd written up some months prior, thinking it would be important. Doesn't fit anymore. Could get reworked before the end.
---------------------------------------------------------
03/02
Very nearly finished ball scene.
---------------------------------------------------------
02/02
Up to middle of the ball scene.
---------------------------------------------------------
