As I said before, the basic scenario of the next episode is that everyone goes on a weekend ski trip to a cabin in the mountains. Things start to get scary and weird very quickly. Looking at the pages, I’m oh, five-twelfths of the way done with this episode. I’m writing a lot of scenes with a lot of characters (like, about 12) in them. It’s a little confusing assigning the dialog. I’ll get a good flow going then I realize that Jill or someone hasn’t said anything in awhile. It’s hard getting everyone a say so that the reader doesn’t also forget certain people are there. In a way, I’m regretting that EVERYone came on this little weekend getaway, but I can’t think of anyone who isn’t helping to advance the story so…I guess they all stay.
Another random thought, I wonder if Jill had to choose again between Scout and Sean…who would she pick? Like, if she literally started all over again…if she met them both at the same time and truly had the option to choose between them as potential suitors, who would it be? Thoughts?

It actually snowed a little here last weekend. I know some places are getting hit with blizzards. Weird weather…but good for my state of mind while trying to write about ski cabins. Anyway, still working on the episode. The teen horror movie aspects are fun. I’ve always loved Scream.

I’ve been working on the next episode, partly while on vacation in Florida. Everyone is going to end up in a cabin on the side of a mountain. Then, the weirdness is going to begin. Messages on the wall, shadows in the woods, that kind of thing. Nothing like the actual movie Cabin Fever, though. That would just be gross. Anyway, it’s always hard to manage episodes where so many characters are present at one location. I’ll write a bunch of scenes then think, “Hmm…where’s Will been all this time?” Then I either have to go interject him into a scene or write a whole new scene to explain that he’s off taking a nap or making a sandwich or somehing. It’s also weird writing this episode because it takes place in the fall, in the mountains. There is going to be snow, but…it’s so nice outside! Hard to get into the sitting by the fire mindset while sitting by a pool in Florida. Anyway, I’m off to momentarily enjoy the spring before getting back to work.
