I remember writing a script on a laptop at unversity. I would write like a maniac and keep saving until the laptop would overheat and shut down. It slowed down my progress in writing, but I thought of it as helping me to rewrite the script, by going over the same scene sometimes ten times.
Major Ball Ache.
That killed writing for me. For a while, I stayed away from writing until I got the bug again.
Through all this time, I've been using finaldraft. Only now have I started working on using the extras of the program. I mean the basic stuff.
At the moment, I am doing something foolish by rewriting the script from the very beginning. This has got to be slowing me down.
There are easier ways to getting things done, you just have to look a little closer. I honestly wish I did this now. My entire process would have been streamlined.
Yet, I do not mentally feel I am achieving anything unless it is a struggle. Stopping and starting seems to be the basic OS in my head. There needs to be a change in my mental approach to this.The only person I am holding back is myself.
It is an auto-destruct code on my success.
Identify how you are fucking up and work on a patch. Something that overwrites the issue. I feel like I have caused extra work for myself. It is time to take a step back in order to move forward.
Ideally I want to be done with a new draft before my birthday, but in the usual approach, this won't be possible. I hate missing my deadlines as well. Something has to change. That change comes from within.
