Okay, so it's been awhile since my last post (almost 4 months). To be honest I was kind of ashamed to write because I didn't accomplish what I wanted to accomplish, which was to finish a first draft.
At the beginning things were going really great. Pages were being written and I could see a story starting to form. Then my doubts crept in. You know the ones that tell you that you story isn't any good. That you're a horrible writer. Those are crippling doubts and it can stop anyone in their tracks especially me who is a perfectionist.
Even while writing this post I went on perezhilton.com. Seriously, something is wrong with me. Why can't I concentrate on something I claim is important to me. I tell why, because it's freaking hard!
I stare at a blank computer screen and it scares the crap out of me. I have to come up with a story with characters that interact and have conflict and stuff within a three act structure. That is a lot of pressure!
Okay, that does it for my rant. Just to let you know that I started to write again and hopefully by the end of week I'll have a first draft.
On a better note, I became a semi-finalist in the Canadian Short Screenplay Competition for Snow. By the end of the week I should know if I won anything. Fingers crossed!
Until, the next post.
