by Heath Davis Havlick
Five months into my year after winning the Spirit of Moondance Award, what's going on? In my first installment, I said that I'd optioned a script and had another option deal looming. Well, I took that second option deal, too, and wondered how I would juggle two sets of notes and rewrites while working full-time.
No need to worry, though, as I immediately started rewrites on the crop circle comedy while waiting for the legal issues to get sorted out with the second script-a traveling angel comedy set in Spain. My producer, the great lady I met at Moondance, gave specific notes based on the wonderful screenwriting book "Save the Cat!", which I had just read. I ended up with a better second act climax, better characters and a better ending. I felt pretty satisfied sending it off and expected a good response.
