Here It Is!

As I no longer desire to keep everyone waiting on bated breath, I've decided it's about time I do another blog entry.

After finishing my second draft (if I can rightfully call it that), the realization that I'm almost completely done with my script came to me, and it was the strangest sensation. It's almost a little sad, I feel like I've only just fully grasped the beauty of the writing process. How I regret taking all those long, long, back-aching nights of writing for granted, those moments I just stared blankly at the white screen as the cursor blinked on and off. If that's not living, what is?

Thankfully, I still have a whole lot of writing to do in order for my script to even be considered the minimum proper length. You can bet I am looking forward to hashing those many, many, many pages out!!

On a less sarcastic note, I'm feeling confident about the positive feedback I received on my first draft. Interestingly enough, I'm guessing that the only person that will read this is the person that gave me that feedback and I'm sure my confidence is amusing.

On an even less sarcastic note, I hope everyone is enjoying fall!

I'm Truckin' Away!

Or am I....?

I should get back to writing, I've just been having so much fun basking in the completion of the first draft! I know what I need to do, for the most part, now I've just got to do it.

So last night, in the grande finale of what was a grueling week of writing, I finally finished my script. Oddly enough, where a lot of people suffer, the third act, is where I finally felt comfortable and actually able to write consistently. Other than the addition of about 30-40 pages I need to add on to really make it a feature length script, and the hours of editing and work it still needs, I feel great! I may bust out into song at any moment, then my friends and I will celebrate with champagne for my reentry into their lives for the week.

Stay tuned for my next entry where I may say something that is even remotely constructive and/or pertaining to my script.

September September

Well it has been a tumultuous few weeks for me. And I must admit I have not been doing much writing. But now that I am truly bak in school for the first time in 6 months, I think I'll be better at doing work. Maybe. I'm helping to write one of my friends senior projects, so I'm going to have to write no matter what, I might as well get my own crap out of the way right. Wish me luck this year guyz.

I'm So Great At This.

No I'm not. But still, I made it close to my midpoint? So there's that. I feel like I'd rather just write what I can, then fill in the blanks when I know there isn't enough after I've written my first draft. So it'll start out really short. But then get longer...for my sanity's sake. Maybe that's a bad way to approach it. But I don't think I approached it well in the first place, so oh well!

Onward Ho!

I don't have much to say except that I am slowly pressing forward...slowly...slowly...but that's better than not at all right?
