Found my way to the two best words for any writer...

"The End."

Now to find my way to the two most intimidating words for any writer...

"Fade In."

Onwards.

Two of the most gratifying words to a writer... "The End."

Blinked, and I wrote 8 pages.

Take that win.

Happy to wrap another pass on #TheTendernessOfWolves

Plenty of work to do, but we're on the right track.

"A game hunter turned sheriff's deputy finds a new violent purpose in bringing law and order to a town intent on destroying itself."

Forgot how good it feels to type the magic words, knowing a script is in a far better place than before.

There's plenty of work to be done, but now the fun part begins.

Not to alarm everyone, but it's think I've finally figured out how to write this pilot... 45 pages in.

Bring it on!

Also managed to tick over into my most prolific writing day.

28 pages and still going strong. Don't know how good they are, but it feels good to be productive. 💪

I desperately need to finish this pilot re-write so I can finally start on this feature that I've spent years putting off.

About time I take matters into my own hands here.

Do the work.

#Deliverance

I should say, I started this rewrite, got 10 pages in. Final Draft crashed. So I re-wrote those 10 pages. Only for it to crash again.

I tried a 3rd time and only got another 5 done. I wrote 25 pages and only have 5 to show.

I'm tired.

Halfway through this rewrite, and finally solved a long-standing story problem.

I guess it's back to square one, I go.

Ugh

Was hitting roadblocks with my current pilot, so I did what any self-respecting writer would do - i finished an outline on a new pilot.

My favourite thing about writing? Thinking I have a good idea, getting almost done, and then being terrified it's awful and never wanting it to see the light of day.

24 pages down on this pilot rewrite.

It's not as daunting as I thought it would be. Slowly coming together. By no means perfect, but there's a better chance of getting it right when it's on the page than when it's not.

Forward we go!

Never ceases to amaze me how one small change in a scene can flip your script on its head and move you in a new and exciting direction.

Was floundering on this pilot when BOOM! Problem solved.

Onwards and Upwards!

#TheTendernessOfWolves

Draft number 2 in the books.

I'm bogged down in details, missing something. Hopefully, it will come to Draft Number 3, but for now...

#TheTendernessOfWolves

By no means is this script perfect, but by God, it feels good to be writing "THE END" on a new script again.

'A game hunter is drawn to the booming Colorado Gold Rush in the promise of a new life, but instead finds a new violent purpose."

#TheTendernessOfWolves

Holy shit - halfway through doing a new outline on my pilot, and much to my surprise, it seems to be working.

Story, pace - characters all seem to have a place and purpose.

Small victories. Nice to feel positive about it.
