My story "Only Have Eyes For You" is up over thirty-four thousand words now. It feels to me like one of those projects I'll never be finished with, like "The Wolves of Winter."
I really need to focus on this screenplay. Why did I tell them I'd have it done in a week?
Well, today was pretty bad, I guess, as far as writing goes. But wow, it's another day where I cannot muster a shit to be given. I worked on my script for as long as I could stand it, and even though it's nearly done, I fear it's also worse than it was a week ago. The point of the story was to be a small, heartwarming story for one person. I can't make it mean more than that. Oh, I'm trying, but I fear I'm actually taking it farther away from what the producers want with this draft.
And that can only lead to more drafts.
But who knows, maybe I'll look at it again tomorrow, and it will all come together, or I'll be inspired on how to fix it, or it'll just look better because of magic.
Regardless, I'm pretty disappointed with myself today, and when I went running, with every car that passed me by, I cynically hoped I'd be run over, just to show the universe how pointless this all has been. So, so pointless.
Like my sit-ups.
