Ok, totally thought I was going to finish writing this script today, but I did not. There's no way I'm not wrapping it up tomorrow though. OH WELL.

2. I am stalling so I can finish my outline for my next script, which I'll start after I finish *this* script tomorrow
3. My back hurt

Smash cut to me as a 20 year old kid in college weeping tears watching this movie in 2007, feeling my life changing in real time.

All of a sudden, I'm at page 90 of this script, and things are wrapping up. I wrote the outline over a year ago, and legitimately can't remember how it ends. This is exciting.

Ngl, had some shitty personal life stuff happen that left me very defeated and tired and really didn't even want to write a single page, but I guess the whole point of this is to help exercise my writing muscles, so mission accomplished I guess

Got to write a pretty fun "I'm the villain and I'm a huge asshole" speech today. Got to really tap into my disdain for tech billionaires.

Sure, at the end of my life, whenever that is, I may have never earned a dime writing, but I'll have lived a life where I got to do what I loved regardless.

And no matter what happens with the film industry, whether generative AI slop takes off, they can never take away the piece inside of me that loves writing. They can never take my laptop, nor my hands, nor my mind, the only tools I need to do the work.

But I guess there's a comfort in knowing that what's been driving me these past 20 years isn't the career, but writing itself. I love writing with every fiber of my being. I'm happier when I do it. It is the most fulfilling thing I do in my life.

And now it may never come to be. I don't say that as some woe-is-me-please-feel-sorry-for-me statement, but just as a clear-eyed fact. There is a good chance I will never make a cent being a screenwriter.

I have spent nearly 20 years of my life trying to break in to filmmaking as a career, and while I have been blessed to have two features I wrote made, my dream of screenwriting as a career still feels a ways a way.

Was determined to go to bed at a decent hour, forgot to log my pages. Got through an action scene I was dreading that turned out way better than I expected, so that's nice.

Caught up after short changing yesterday. I started writing at 1 AM, so I wrote very VERY tired. It'll be fun to see if this 7 page chunk of the script will make a smidgen of sense in the morning lol (LOL)
