Tomorrow I meet with my writing group to provide feedback and advice on each others projects. I’m a ta point with some of the scripts where I need to be careful to discern personal preference from objective criticism which speaks to the quality of my group members writing. In any case that’s been something I’ve enjoyed and I feel that keeping it at just us three should be a good number. Attempts at incorporating others into the group have proved unsuccessful and in my mind unnecessary.

In my own writing I’m amazed at the strange directions the story takes that I would have a lot of trouble conceiving in the outlining process. Among these is how one of central romances unfold. I also think I might finally pass the bechdel test in the script, a first for me as a straight white dude. Does that mean I’m finally not sexist. Probably not, but hey all you can do is try.

In short this has basically been a good week. I’m currently wondering about how to be as honest and truthful as possible. Not just in my work but also in my personal life. I don’t know what kind of effect this will have on my writing but right now I have a good feeling.

Yours Truly
