Project Update 4

I tweeted a week or so ago that if you can use the word "eponymous" then you can be a music critic. I snickered to my clever self and was crushed when no one re-tweeted my brilliance, but that's the way it goes.

Anyway, another word often used, in reviews of all sorts of things, is "uninspired." That's how I feel. Every time I open up Screenwriter and my scene-by-scene synopsis, clicking back and forth between the two windows, I feel uninspired. I'm stuck at page 25.

I've been here before. In fact, I'd say I've been here more times than I've been sitting and typing the last period of some new composition. It's as familiar to me as the feeling of being hungry or tired, but the great thing about all three of these things is that they are merely obstacles, and obstacles can be overcome.

So allow this to serve as my declaration that this screenplay will not die at page 25 (though 25 is coincidentally my favorite number). I'm going to barrel onward, replacing the confidence and excitement I had at the start of this project with stubbornness and determination.

Potentially lucrative but definitely awesome screenplay, I will conquer you.
