I feel like I’m off the track, derailed.
What happened to my writing at least a page a day? It’s more become a page every other day, unless it rains.
Yes, my script Kim wasn’t greeted with open arms in those contests. But my language had taken a leap for the better.
Now it is time for me to work on the other assets needed to write a great script.
But then I need to write!
I love writing, once I get started. I don’t have to feel inspired before Final Draft is up and running.
I’ve told myself this so many times.
The problem is that as long as I just write for the crows on the roof this is all a dream. A sweet dream, but childish.
Where I live you don’t sacrifice a steady job and your family to chase a foolish dream.
And that what it feels like: a foolish dream.
I read about other bloggers pitching their ideas, about the importance to network, face to face. I will never be able to do that. Sure, I can cross the Atlantic if needed for meetings and reworking collaborations, but then my scripts have reached another phase.
I’m not there yet.
But since I don’t want to put the burden of mommy’s lost dream on my sons shoulders to fulfill, I’ll better keep chasing the dream myself.

It's not a foolish dream, it's a wonderful dream.
This blog is your pitch to me.
I don't have time to do the rewrites of my own scripts and I need to start producing movies written buy other people.
I asked you to be part of a production and rewrite one of my scripts and I in turn would produce one of your scripts because you are at that next phase.
You cross the Atlantic each day with your words so it doesn't matter we can't do a face to face.
How you sculpt words is the only thing that matters to me
Oh Robert, such pleasant words. Thank you.
I had not forgotten about our agreement.
It's just that I have had a few days with not only little inspiration but also with a nagging feeling that I'm not writing good enough and overall a hopeless feeling towards my writing.
Writing about it helps.
And your sweet reply helps as well. Thank you.
This blog you wrote has given me the courage to start making movies again.
I was hoping to have the first draft of the script written yesterday but I find this short script to be the hardest thing I've ever written.
Today is Sunday and I must finish the first draft today if we are to enter the script reading in Kansas City Missouri on October first of this year.
Monday I go to a lawyer to have a contract written up for us. More than anything I want to be fair to you while being fair to me.
I feel I'm taking to long on this project but I must get the first draft in a form that you can expand upon.
I want you to know the joy of having words you wrote turned into a movie.
I just sent you the first draft of the short script Paralyzed in Paradise. This post gave me the final push to get the script done. Thanks.
I'll try to have the contact to you as soon as possible.
Don't ever call it a foolish dream again. THIS IS WHO YOU ARE. It's not foolish, only if you let that thought creep into your mind.
remember who you are, remember how you feel when you have an idea. this is what you're meant to be doing, nothing is going to change that. do not ever ever ever call it a foolish dream again.
Thank you for those words, TKINTFR.
You are so right that is who I am. I'll never stop writing.
