fatigue

Just wrote about 10-15 pages tonight.

It was strange: the only thing on my agenda today, really, was writing.

But after showering and some personal grooming (shaving, etc.)  I felt too tired to write.

I popped a Cognium and guzzled the rest of my green tea and felt awake enough to sit down and write, but it was like blood from a stone.

Anyhow, hopefully later this week the creativity will flow better.

Tonight I think I wrote some good dialogue, but stopped myself before we got to any action. I don't want to risk my lack of energy on one of the screenplay's key mainstream selling points.

This is one of the many things I miss about the summer of 2015: that summer I never felt guilty about passing up a night of writing because I wasn't feeling it. On any given day of the week I could choose to write or I could choose to spend time otherwise. This summer's been good to me, but I lament my lack of time (and energy) to write a lot of days.

But it will all be worthwhile if I can get this screenplay done by summer's end (which, for me, is August 7th) and get some positive responses from my submissions.

That is the Holy Grail.
