Fourth of July!

In the days up to Fourth of July, I got to see that some Americans saw it as a big deal. I knew it already, but it was fun to see how they all got a little more patriotic than usual, some even stating that it was the day of the year when they could feel good about being American. However, as it was a holiday, I had expected that to some degree. When the day finally came, I went to the Manhattan beach (not in Manhattan naturally) to drink and have fun. It was a really fun day. The currents in the sea are extremely powerful, and it was fun to challenge the waves. Surprisingly, I didn't get sunburnt even though I was at the beach from noon until midnight.

After the Fourth of July, I've been a little more laid back, as I received a tip from a couple of screenwriters here in the Loftstel about a software program by the name of FinalDraft. It is a program that takes care of all the technical details of the script, e.g. how it has to be lined up and how you need a heading for each scene and how you need to have another margin when writing dialogue. It makes everything ten times easier than writing in Word (and I got the feeling that the other two screenwriters thought me to be crazy), and I've already started my second draft of my currently 70 pages long screenplay in that program.

Today I will probably stay in and continue my work, as it is going all too well.
