Affirmation

My screenwriting course recently behind me, I'm now faced with having to keep the momentum going and continue the writing I began weeks ago. I recently completed the first plow-through of Act I of my class spec, "Protocol," though I already have changes in mind, and am a couple of pages into Act II. My screenwriting instructor and classmates were all very encouraging with regard to my work. The feedback on my submittals was very enthusiastic and gave me the impression that I might just be on the right track with this pursuit and my writing may be as good as I'd hoped it was.

It gave me that much needed boost that confirmed for me that my instincts are right and I can do this.

Now the task is to try to steer clear of the many convenient distractions that have plagued my progress thus far and write, write, write! I'm refreshed and focused, and hopefully I can keep from being my own biggest obstacle. The sheer amount of work to be done is daunting, especially when finishing the first draft is only the beginning, but it's all part of the process and I need to trudge up that hill if I'm going to complete any of my planned projects.

Trudging time.
