So I officially have about four ideas that I’m developing
for scripts—one of which started as a short that I now think might work better
as a feature, and a one of which is something I want to shoot on no budget in a
matter of months. I think I have the two upper-level screenwriting courses I
have this semester to thank for the sudden abundance of ideas. My grade's on the line if I fail to produce any.
Unfortunately, between losing my phone, having to work, and
my car overheating, I feel like I’ve lost precious time—about a week. Not much
by most people’s standards, but if I’m to make feature this summer the
distractions must stop. I’ve already gotten a little out of the groove thanks
to my lost week and now I’m dealing with procrastination. It’s my own damn
fault. So tomorrow I’m going to wake up and force myself to write for four
hours before work. I’m going to do that every day Monday-Thursday. On the
weekend I can find a couple hours to devote to side projects, going to the
movies, reading, and smoking pot if I feel so inclined.
Sounds like good time management, no?
