About Time

So I finally went on to finish my first "draft" and despite my misgivings, it's actually not as bad as I thought it would turn out to be. Don't get me wrong, it's still rather unreadable, and I doubt anybody who reads it will find anything from the script enjoyable or workable. But I feel damned proud that I managed to write something that wasn't a complete disaster.

But I guess I'm just surprised at myself for actually completing something that wasn't all that terrible. The script still needs a lot of work but overall, I'm happy I did it. Plus it's much better than sitting around coming up with ideas for things I will never write because I think it's just going to suck. Better to make something a reality and learn from your mistakes than thinking about doing something perfectly the first time around.

Realistically speaking, even with a re-written outline to work off of after I finish reading my own script, I think the actual script is about four or five drafts away from being mediocre. I guess part of the hard work is over, which is laying down the groundwork for subsequent drafts.

But I should pop open a glass of digital Apple Cider to celebrate.

Ah, the sweet taste of accomplishment
