This also works for screenplays

Currently writing 1st draft of my new spec - a big beautiful mess that'll need major work when it's done

For now it's all about just getting it written

4 pages today

approx 10 pages ahead of where I thought I'd be outline-wise, but it's still a first draft, so not stressing about it
