I’m a little pissed at the moment. I have a script that I’m trying to submit to the Sundance Writer’s Lab. They need the first five pages of the script to review. I try to write at home, but a lot of times I will write at work when I have time and then email the pages back to my house. I revised some of the pages of the script headed to Sundance, including the first five pages.
Here’s the problem. I was working from a copy of the full script at work. However I don’t think I sent it back home. I thought I did but when I went to do some revisions at home, I was working with the old script when I know that I did the work. And the other day, I was cleaning my work computer of files I no longer need. At the moment I don’t remember if that script was one of them, but it’s possible.
The date of postmark for submission is Tuesday, May 1. I go back to work on Monday. It’s not undoable of course, but I am tired of cutting things this close. Everything else is ready to go, I just needed this one thing and it would have been off today. As it is I’m gonna stress another two days to get things done. Plus I did do about 20 pages of rewrites that I’d like to keep—if I can find them.
