What a nice little mood boost at nearly 1am!

What a nice little mood boost at nearly 1am!
Do I text my literary manager at 1am my time (even later his time) that I don’t think I can meet an established deadline because of my upcoming 70-hour work weeks?? Or do I wait for a reasonable business hour to break the news?

I know this is turning into a “complain about my job” account instead of a “screenwriting” account but i just really need to share this very sweet text I got from one of my crew members after a fully horrible 13 hour work day 😭

The main problem with being in charge of things is that you have to be in charge of things *when things are going wrong* and that’s the worst part
Probably not a great sign that I’m wondering 3 weeks into my new job if I should have even applied 🙃

Glancing over my AFF notes and shocked to see that I apparently have “ a masterful understanding of what makes this kind of story work” AND YET I didn’t even make the Second Round 🤣

Honestly I’m glad for my Zoomer friends that Mamdani has given them even a bite-sized sample of the Hope we all got to experience circa 2008

Sucks that sometimes self-care in adulthood looks like getting blood taken, scheduling scans, and going to the dentist :(

I gotta come clean - every single time I visit NYC I'm left with this nagging feeling that maybe I should move there, maybe I should have lived there at least for a little bit by now
LA was lovely but I did not get even a hint of that feeling! (1/2)

I’m never sure how much I’m allowed to share at what time but I had a really great in-person meeting yesterday with some pretty great news and I’m trying to keep my expectations realistic but dang it’s hard when my excitement is bursting at the seams to share

One nice thing about being in Pacific Time so briefly when my body is still on Central Time is that I get to cosplay as a morning person
Showered, packed, and ate a fancy breakfast all before 9am?? Unheard of! (My body thinks it’s 11am)

Grateful for all y’all who came to my Office Hours at All Season tonight
Feeling silly for thinking I could reasonably host something like this while ultimately operating on Central Time 🤣
Wish I had more time here!!

Met with a high school friend who lives here in LA and she scolded me for walking fifteen minutes to meet her rather than calling an uber. She was also shocked to hear that I took a bus from the airport to downtown and then took a train to my hotel. 🤷♀️
