Hatchford Hotel
- Meeting with Ian and Mike
- Discussed the new four-page treatment, general approval of it
- We banged and kicked and mangled the plot to see what it actually needs (and what it might not need)
- Later that night after I got home and should’ve been sleeping, I had a brainstorm session inspired by all the kicking we just did, wrote a lot of ideas down until I couldn’t think anymore.
