A quotation from Cicero

All men make mistakes; but it is fools who persist in them.
 
[Cuiusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 12, ch. 2 / sec. 5 (12.2/12.5) (43-03 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2012)]

I was working on revisions tonight and I needed to speed up a scene and I thought, "Well why not have the demons sing along as the Receptionists are explaining interdimensional travel?" The result is one minute and ten seconds of dialogue turned into a twenty second ditty. This is one of the craziest moves I've made in this script. But I think it will work and it will be fun to produce! 🤣🤣

Ah! Interesting. The #revision invtro was written by @ninjadev, meaning that there's something on https://github.com/ninjadev/revision-invite-2018 to #codestudy and see what tweakings are used to get that glowing laser look I like so much and can't reproduce :-P

On Revision – William Germano
If you want to write non-fiction then William Germano's book is one you should put on your list to read. Germano walks us through what it means to revise. It's not fixing spelling, or doing a final polish, revising is all about understanding what your writing actually does instead of what you think it does. Does it take the reader to the revelation you hope to bring them to?

900 page script whacked down to 808 pages. But I'm still trying to get the whole thing under 800 if I can -- this, when I know I have at least forty more pages to write at the end. I have been ruthless, but not ruthless enough. I may just have to count my blessings if it stays under 850 at this point.

It is much tighter, however, and it will be fun to record!

Habe gerade den #EvilBot im Büro abgehängt. Hat lange durchgehalten, aber nächste Woche ziehen wir in ein neues Gebäude und der kommt erstmal wieder mit. Vielleicht findet sich in nem halben Jahr, wenn wir aus der Lagerhalle ("Großraum Büro") in die Büros ziehen, auch wieder ein Plätzchen. #Revision #demoscene

Mister Ruthless here now holed up in a cafe. Goodbye, gratuitous summary of a BARETTA episode. One page swapped with two lines.
