The click of the light and the start of a dream.

Just turned in my pilot script.

Which means I’m officially DONE with college.

An exercise for my pilot in which I had to write a letter from my protagonist to another main character. Will is in a mental hospital because he still believes his dead sister Lucy is alive. He mentions that he thinks the two of them are in the hospital so that his mother can get better at home, but really—

He’s in the hospital by himself, hallucinating his dead sister.

A snippet from my screenplay, which I’m having a blast writing, which surprised me.

Murder board for my Castle spec. Hard to see a lot of since it’s on the mirror, but:

Timeline, victim, suspects, COD, and facts of the case.

That awesome/awful moment when you’ve got a flood of ideas in the middle of writing a spec outline and don’t know how to start putting them down.

“As writers, sometimes the best thing we can do when we’re stuck is to talk to another writer. Sometimes there’s nothing more inspiring than sitting down and watching someone else’s face light up as they talk about their latest idea.”

The more I watch quality television, the more I doubt that I even belong in that world.

I don’t think I have what it takes to make it as a TV writer out there.

And I’m not fishing for compliments, so don’t make that mistake. I just…genuinely doubt myself. A lot.

Damn it. Leave it to my favorite show to depress me after its over.

I should probably go to bed before I dwell on this and depress myself more.

Night.

So I got a B+ on my spec script for The Good Wife that I wrote last semester.

On the notes, my professor said that I should be proud since I worked so diligently at it.

I both like and loathe that word. Diligent. I worked hard, but that doesn’t mean a whole heck of a lot if my script isn’t good. Not that it isn’t good. It’s just not fantastic.

I’m overreacting, I know. A B+ is good. It’s not really the grade that bothers me. I got an A- in the class. It’s more like…I want to do this for a living and it’s a hard business to break into, so a B+ ain’t gonna cut it in Hollywood..

Granted, it was my FIRST foray into television writing, so maybe I should cut myself a bit of slack.

I don’t know.
