When the urge to write was too strong
Sunday, August 3, 2008

Symbol for an extratropical storm in the Northern Hemisphere;
with strength equivalent to a severe tropical storm (50-63 knots)



I was about to start writing on the actual script after all.

Although I had decided to not do that until the beat sheet was complete.

Come on, I was done with act two. I had all scenes planned, all goals done. Well, most of the goals anyway.

Now I must allow myself to start writing.

Simply must.

The urge was simply too strong.

I - must - write!

I sat down and started Final Draft. … Just to find that I had not activated the version yet (a new laptop) and that the demo time had expired. And then the program does not start.

Alright, no problem, I'll activate.

Problem.

Final Draft allows you to install on two computers. These two were used. One is on a now crashed computer and my intention was to use the new laptop instead. But I had not yet contacted Final Draft to free an activation.

No Final Draft. Not just right now.

And somehow the urge to write went down the drain.

Maybe just as well. I was probably about to make a mistake to start writing yet.
