Day 15: #ZD30SCRIPT
The wild idea of printing pages, cutting them into scenes, and physically rearranging a couple is so satisfying bc they’re not just brief thoughts on a note card that haven’t been fleshed out.

Day 6: #ZD30SCRIPT
You know those Magic Eye puzzles? The puzzles you stare at until the 3D image appears? I’ll have a “There it is!” moment when I solve one. That happens to me in writing. I can’t see what’s there, even thought it’s there, then it appears. It syncs up. It’s such a great feeling. #ZD30SCRIPT
