  • the grind of full time wage labor is a big part of it. idk, the three scripts i finished really felt like vehicles for shit i genuinely and passionately wanted to say. subsequent attempts have felt a bit more like writing just to do it? or like i was repeating myself or something. idk. i have a project im kinda kicking around that’s sort of a love/friendship story/character study but also low key socialist propaganda, not sure why it hasn’t clicked for me yet as something to actively work on as much yet. part of it is just the sheer labor a longform work takes combined with working fulltime combined with other extracurricular shit i’ve been plugged into.








  • starting to wonder if the consistent writing chapter of my life is over indefinitely, or for the foreseeable future. my motivation and imagination have really felt sapped for over two years, and yet i still miss it and feel a creative need not being fed. idk, i almost spoiler tagged this behind “self pitying bullshit.” but maybe accepting that it could be behind me could take some pressure off and i’ll find my way back to it through that lack of pressure. and hey, three feature scripts that i pretty much all like and feel proud of (this varies day by day ofc) - which are vastly different from each other in many ways while still showing a distinct, recurrent authorial voice & vision - is further than many with these silly ambitions get.
