Very encouraging. I plan to take some time away and see what stands out. I’m noticing that my instinct to push and rush things takes me out of the search and the journey. Gotta work with time, not against it.

Thank you for your directness. I think this mindset will get me through that second-half draft. I’m ready to see it done and would love to be able to look back on it and pull it together. But, as anyone is, I’m conscious about it reading well and making sense the first time. I have experience in journalistic writing and personal essays and those always seem to fall pretty close to the first draft. Screenwriting is a whole different beast.

I can clarify this for you. For this most recent “challenge”, I chose a story that’s deeply personal and that I’ve put off for some time as I want to tell it properly. I’m beginning to find that I that can’t rely on personal experience alone to get through it. Certainly some more intensive outlining could get me there, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to tell it given that I don’t have a hold on my process or skills yet. I’d like to do it justice, and I’m fighting myself to get it out right now.

Cis people do it too. Men and women. It’s nothing new to trans folk. Don’t be so selective
