The Secret King (script)
So I have a few questions really before I undertake a serious re-write for my pilot.A few pointers have been made. That the first hour should be longer, so what I was thinking of doing was just stretching it a little. But I have to think about the rest that is already written. I’ve already taken the 2 hours and made it into 4, so if those four hours become any longer then it’s going to be about 6-8 for the first lot. Which was a bit more than I had intended, considering where Steve and I have already written the rest of the episodes from.

I don’t mind doing this because I love this series, although I am wondering what to aim for.

I get that it should possible be around 100 pages for the pilot.

I’ve read many different TV scripts pilots for series.

There is

V at 61 pages
Taken 102 pages
Being Human 60 pages
Battlestar Gallatica 97 pages
Flash Forward 61

So I am thinking I am right in setting up the pilot first hour at 60 pages although it wouldn’t be any hardship for me to take the 2nd half also at 60 pages, and make it 100. The act break happens to fall at 101, so umm I could have it all set up very differently. I am just thinking that each network is so different, and that at least i I do have it set for the hour show, it would be right for both.

I don’t know just thinking out loud here.

Anyone else have any thoughts. What should I aim for and set it out like?

Thoughts much appreciated.

Hey to everyone who knows me.

Just a quick update.

I am very happy to say things are great. I am doing well in my writing and in my home life. Of course I aint going to be 100% happy but who is.

I’ve managed to write a novel in november as part of nanowrimo, and I am working hard on a few other projects. One is my series, which is going from strength to strength.

Will try and keep updated a little more, I know I should.

Speak soon.

Ok,

so I am having to catch my Chagoi tonight. Paul will have to help me. The white fuz has gone, but he def has a couple of red marks which to me look like little holes. I am going to take a few pics for you don’t worry. I am going to bath him in an antibiotic soloution that I have and put some Koi cream on. Depending of course on what I find. If they are holes then I will have to treat properly and seal them up. I have the right stuff. I think.

Anyway. Ph this morning was 8, it is now 7. I can’t get it to stabalise with all the water changes and with my kh being 4. It’s just not working. I think this ph swing will cause them more trouble than anything else. grrrrrr

Nitrite is a slight pink, I don’t quite think its gone yet as can be hard to tell with nt labs kits.

Has anyone used kusuri biopure before. If so, can I add another dose to the pond today to try and help the kh?

Just wondering.

——————–

 

okay okay….

I know what to do, and I am doing the best I can. I put in the super c today. And I will replace the net with the oyster shells in and pop that in somewhere soon. I haven’t put any other chemicals in the pond other than the pp, and I am fighting to get the water back under control.

It hasn’t been an easy road financially. For every time I changed the water I had to add £30 worth of kh up to even get the reading to raise 2. I now have nothing left. My boss hasn’t even paid me properly for the holidays I took, so i am out. I can’t do anything else financially. It has me beat. I have enough stuff to put in the pond for another week. I am just hoping that it will be all sorted by next friday as I have nothing left to put in.

Will keep you posted.

I am finding it so hard to find a job, and I really want to get back to work, it sounds crazy and am sure everyone would think ‘oh yeah to never have to work again brill’ but let me tell you it sucks.
I am so fed up and bored at home, its annoying me sooo much now.

There are very few jobs around, and very few things i would like to do.

I want to seriously find something.

i sent off my cv for 3 jobs yesterday and amazing enough i got a reply from one, saying the hours had changed and would that be a problem…

No way i need more hours.

So she is interviewing this week, and I am sat here in my interview clothes hoping it will be today… Please let the telephone ring…

I think i have gone completly mad.

Anyways, going to email the bbc to as still havent heard from them that they recieved my script before the deadline, and i would really lie to know.

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Speak soon.

WOW

This blog is coming from my new laptop, thankfully i managed to get my hubby to get off his high horse and spend some money on me, I am just sure he was trying to get out of it for as long as possible, but am happy now.

Its a Dell with a red cover on it, and its really nice, most of all i am pleased as I can now get back on line, and write again, been missing it so much.

Missed everyone here, and missed just being able to do something, its been really boring at home, but now well the world is my oyster again.

I am doing really well at the moment, life is actually picking up for a change, things are moving forward and I am real pleased with it.

I have had the go ahead from the doctor to go back to work, as things have settled down, my meds are working great and i am sleeping ok now, i am not surprised with the amount of hard gardening we are doing.

I am down to one day at daycare, and as things have been getting harder there due to the fact they are insisting on a cullinary skills class, that i am really glad of not being there so much.

Even though the doctor said i am ok for work, my boss is saying that i cant go back till they get a letter off my doctor, i think they are just being stupid but if i dont go in to work on wednesday this week, then will they sack me for not turning up, plus i cant do without the money, so i dont know what to do there. Go in or not. I will be ringing my union rep up and speaking to them on monday, but then have to speak to steve again as well.

I dont really want to go back there, but needs must and then at least i can save up for some new things again.

Anyways, i will catch you all again soon.

Love to ya all, Dawn xxxx
