90 / 100 words. 90% done!

I'm about to cross the finish-line! Ughh, it's so relieving to think that on Tuesday there will be no more deadlines to worry about.

I didn't think that this would happen, but I'm getting a little bit tired with it! Not because I want to stop writing the script, just because I'd like to slow down; to actually finish and polish episodes and include all the details I forgot. I've written most of episodes 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, and a few parts of 4, 10, and season 2 episode 1. It's so exciting when I think about it - last month this series didn't exist except in my head, and it had been cultivating since January, based off of my Tearin' Up My Heart storyboard (which is still not finished. Oh, balls, better get on that.) But, now, here it is! Can't make up my mind how I feel about the experience of writing it in such secrecy, though. There's a pay-off for keeping it to yourself until it's ready, but I'm not used to doing that. Plus, I so would enjoy introducing friends and being able to talk about potential ideas. I do well when I bounce off other people creatively, and I'd especially like to do it with perfectplacebo, as she has charmingly engaged me in so many Orlok-related conversations. :)

But yeah, 100 pages is really a lot to write, script or narrative. Usually when I'd written 100 pages of He's There, I'd start feeling like I needed to take a break, even if everything had been going excellently. Truthfully, I will be so proud of winning Script Frenzy, I may allow myself to wander in another direction will I'm revising the first few episodes to post over at Nosferatu in Love's LJ community. I feel like doing something else for a little bit, but I don't know what!

I was thinking CP4 - I woke up today and I was like "Crystal Palace!! Where have you been?!" But, much as I love it, I don't have this urge for it to be materialized, probably from some combination of it being the third script in sort of a light comedy series, and it having no (active) fans who care that I post. I guess I'm just curious how well I might be able to write it now that I've had all this practice. And, for a while, I haven't been connected to Crystallina, Akira, and Cosmo (or even myself as a character.) I feel like I have been calling them complicated beings but treating them one-dimensionally. I've also been hesitant to take them in directions that might be fruitful because I have a cowriter and I don't want her to think I screwed something up. Oh, I don't know.

And then there's He's There, sitting around with two and a fraction chapters that I just left unfinished.

Why does everything need to be finished?!!?!!

But I feel an urge for HT. It DOES need to be finished. It will be such an exciting/heart-breaking day when it is, and I can start revising it. I don't know, man.

But whatever I choose I'd like to set some type of goal. They seem to light a fire under my ass, and I need the fire.

Well, I might go see if I can finish SF today. :D
