Struggling with a location for an important scene. Does it matter that much as long as it's really cool? I wrote this to convince myself and it worked.

Need to dial down my locked in levels. Progress is great but I'm skirting burnout.

Aiming to finish the draft as soon as possible, but don't want to burn out. Even well managed, could be my fastest first draft ever.

Possibly too locked in. It's still going well but maybe that's a good reason to take it a little easier.

I have never been more locked in on a draft. Weird?

Quite enjoying the new project. Much more serious than my usual fare which somehow makes it more fun for me. I really enjoy balancing tone, so maybe that's it?

Reviewing it early. Maybe this one will jump into production quickly? That or I'll get burned out on it and then it gets canned halfway through : )

It's starting to feel like a grind, and probably will be challenge to edit down. Is that a good sign?

Going to be a long process. At least I still like this script.

Looking forward to writing a movie about a buff guy who kills people then maybe gets sad about it.

Okay, I have a new direction for real this time. I still have a bit of research to do, but the project is feeling a lot more grounded now.
Still balancing tone. I think doing research and achieving realism can really help with this.

Weighing different premises to match with tone. Tough to write something political and accurate with modern politics being so farcical without making the project comedic in any way.

I can't think of anything to say about today. Project stalled, health bad.

Okay feeling more focused but sandwiched between stressful events. This will probably increase by productivity, what a shame.
