dpg and nicholas, thanks. dpg – he’s long distance, away for weeks at a time. I’m having enough trouble with him (lol) … haven’t got to her yet. Sacrificing his freedom is more about emotional freedom than freedom of the road. He has to become someone that doesn’t just live for the day but has to learn to share, make plans, not have it all his way. nicholas, that’s a great logline but that’s would be the end of the story. As it is now, we only find out if he does that at the end. She’s not agrophobic though – on the contrary – she wants to head off into in the sunset in the truck and that is partly what threatens his freedom … both literally having to figure out where to stop to meet her and then being there on time … but also emotionally in that he can’t enjoy his freedom when she’s not with him cos all he’s thinking about is her. So in that way she is also the antagonist/opponent … but we can always find another one .. could the antagonist be the one that threatens his fight for love … or does it have to be the one that threatens his freedom on the road …..

The A story is the love story – the romantic comedy. The guy wants the girl. Will he get her? The B story is fraught with complications/obstacles … he’s a country boy, she’s a city girl; he’s used to being alone and only fending for himself; she is a single mother to two teenage daughters; he is introverted, disconnected from the ‘real’ world….
