The Possibility Curve

Well, we had our first ‘table read’ and it was awesome to hear it come to life. Of course, I didn’t really know what I was doing… but that is nothing new.

The Final Draft Software that I use has a voice feature which is great. It allows me to hear the script read by the computer at 2 AM without having to call and wake up any of my friends. They are very grateful for that!

Anyway, I invited a bunch of people and we ended up with all of four. That meant that each person was reading multiple parts. Thank goodness everyone there, Vicki, Michael and Maggie are all very organized. They had all their parts highlighted and ready to go.

We did a cold read, which means no one prepared. In fact Michael hadn’t even read through the script. That was AWESOME because I got to see his reactions first hand. In was very rewarding to see him get excited about what might happen next. And even better when he was surprised and didn’t see ‘IT’ coming.

The best part of all is Michael, a guy, was someone I didn’t even really know, at least not personally. He works at Starbucks, which I often frequent. When I mentioned the read he was excited and offered to help. Since all the parts, but the lead, are for men; he was invaluable. I love how the Universe conspires to support this project.

We laughed ate pizza, salad and jelly beans. I am such a health nut. I have wonderful friends, now including Michael, and I’m grateful.
