Insight for today

I have been reading a TV pilot script for a friend today. The idea is to give feedback so she can refine it for possible sale. I was really quite surprised how hard this was. Maybe it is because I am not used to reading scripts but I found that it takes a lot more concentration to visualise what is going on than in a novel. Possibly it is just because I'm doing the critical analysis thing.

And the payoff? The hope that someday, one of these scripts will get picked up and I will be able to say "I knew the author before she made it big" and "I read that when it was still an early concept". Ah dreams.
