Most of the time I feel like I'm being pulled physically, mentally, and emotionally in a hundred different directions. This often makes me feel like there isn't enough time in the day to really do anything. Once you start one thing, oh shit! You have to go do another thing. Forget about making time for showers and eating and stuff like that. I often feel like there's not even enough time for the essentials. You wake up in the morning and all of a sudden it's 11pm and you're tired and you have a bunch of half done tasks sitting in front of you, screaming at you, competing for your attention.
I feel like writing my senior project script is going well because I'm actually writing something that I would want to read. I'm having fun writing it. My workshop script kind of got away from me because I was trying way too hard to give it some kind of Indie vibe that just wasn't really there to begin with, which made my characters and situations seem contrived. This time around I feel like I have strong characters. I'm writing the script according to what they would do rather than just forcing the plot forward. I have high hopes for this one.
