- @damiengwalter Hah. Yes. I think SF was always something I was expected to grow out of.
- @damiengwalter A lot of people preferred it to The Avengers.
- @damiengwalter As a teenager, I read Pratchett, Zelazny and Lumley among others. Also, lots and lots of Dr. Who novelisations.

Adaptation Outline
After much worrying and general anxiousness about the whole thing I finally finished the outline for my adaptation last night. I've managed to make a bunch of notes as things have progressed so I'll have something to talk about in my commentary. It's immediately obvious that act three is very busy compared to the two previous sections. There are a few sections I can probably cut (I'm still working towards a 20 minute script) but I'm going to see if some scenes could be moved further forward in the story. I'm working from a very "matter of fact" piece so I'm going to see if I can move the more shocking/less pleasant parts further along so I can have more a building sensation throughout. I need to go through the notes I made during Michael Eaton's lecture. I need to make sure I'm demonstrating enough of the skills he thinks are required.
Now I've made some progress I'm happier and am feeling less anxious as whole. Good stuff.
