1/ After 125 consecutive days of writing - be it pages, editing, outlining, or tossing all of it out and starting again - I've discovered a few things.
For one, I'm better than I have ever given myself credit for. By no means perfect, but certainly on the right path.

Not one for Halloween, but I've found myself dressed as something scary - a writer with an idea that isn't terrible.
Better get ready to face my fears!

How do my fellow writers elevate the execution of their ideas?
I feel like im good at having the idea, but then my execution is just "meh."

Perennially stuck mere feet from unlocking the door, keeping me from being the writer I know I can be.
Playing it safe. Unable to take a swing.
On the cusp. Afraid to leap.
I'll get there -- hopefully.

Perhaps the greatest frustration on my writing journey to date can be distilled down to this -
"A locked door away from clarity."
I know im good enough. It's just not yet clicked.
I won't stop, no matter the headaches.

This past month has been the most productive and positive period in my writing in years. I've found a consistency and routine that has me thinking more clearly than ever before.
It's not perfect, but it's 1% better than before.

Reflecting on my writing as of late.
Keep coming back to "I'm good enough to be good, but am I good enough to be good enough?"
Honest answer? I don't know.
I also don't know how to get right with that.

I hate that I feel like all the effort doesn't amount to much.
Progress isn't linear, but it's just as confusing and frustrating.

Smashed out the last half of the outline for my next pilot.
Keen to get the last half of my WIP done and off for notes.

I should say, I started this rewrite, got 10 pages in. Final Draft crashed. So I re-wrote those 10 pages. Only for it to crash again.
I tried a 3rd time and only got another 5 done. I wrote 25 pages and only have 5 to show.
